After returning home from the market. I sat in my father's truck watching the rain fall. It rarely rained in the summer, but of all days, it had to rain tonight.
Seeing her at the store stirred up so many feelings. I couldn't believe that after three long years, I was still hung up on a girl who didn't care about me.
To her, I was just a ghost from her past. I loved her deeply, but I couldn't understand why she hated me or why I still cared.
Don't mean to talk bad on you, No I never meant to make you build up a wall...
Once I got to my bedroom, I lost interest in whatever my family had planned. My younger brother Tristan had just returned from college. I was glad to see him, but I wasn't in the mood right now. My emotions were a mess. Why did she have such a hold on me?
Fuck, she moved on so why haven't I? What was holding me back from letting her go...
I questioned myself repeatedly. Why did I even talk to her? We couldn't stand each other.
I decided to text the only person who knew everything about the situation.
Eric...
"Hey, guess who I just not long ago saw? You won't believe it," I sent him.
Seeing typing bubbles appear as he replies.
"Aww, who?" he asked.
"Nicole," I typed, waiting for his reaction.
"What! What did she say? Did you talk to her?" he replied.
"Yeah, but she looked so shocked as if she had seen a ghost."
"So, did you two talk, like I told you to?" he inquired.
"Not really. She didn't say much, but I think she's engaged or married. She was wearing a ring."
"Damn, that's crazy. I didn't expect that," he replied
"Yeah, I guess you were right about letting go and moving on," I replied, shutting my phone off.
I regretted not staying on base. Coming home was a foolish decision that I now deeply regretted. With every passing day, I struggled to adjust to the overwhelming changes surrounding me, it felt like everything was shifting beneath my feet.
Walking into my new bathroom, I couldn't lie; it was way better than my bathroom on base. The spaciousness, the sleek tiles—it felt like a luxury I was unaccustomed to. Yet, instead of comfort, there was unease, gnawing at me.
Turning on my shower, the water started cascading down as steam filled the air, but I found myself lost in thoughts that battled for dominance in my mind.
