Memories [Oneshot]

Fading Flames

I saw him for the first time today. At the café where we first met.

Although, he was far away, it seemed like he was somehow still quite close to me. I still felt as if he were beside me. I couldn't forget about him. It was as if, he left an imprint on my mind.

I never thought that day would come. The day where we left each other's sides and simply had to move on.

Weeks passed and the world moved rapidly around me. But, I stayed stuck in my past, like a ghost with a grudge of some sort.

I stayed frozen in my seat, as I watched him and his new girlfriend sit down together.

They both were laughing and smiling. They both seemed so happy.

I couldn't stand it, I wanted to leave, but yet I couldn't...

I tore me inside to see that our memory of our first meeting here was instead to be replaced with a memory of his new girlfriend. The fact that he brought her to a place so special to me.

But, it wasn't like he cared anymore. He had moved on. Moved on away from me.

I sat quietly waiting for my coffee, desperately wanting to escape.

It was breaking me to pieces. Our memories were nothing to him anymore. Everything we went through together. The joyful times and the rough times.

Him waking me up in the middle of the night, to escape from the city and look up at the stars.

Hugging and comforting me when my mom had passed.

Playing his guitar and singing to me out in public.

Screaming and yelling for us to break up...

It seemed like no matter what he did. I still loved him...

Although, before our break up we constantly fought over trivial things. Somehow, I still can go back and smile at that. Smile at the fact that we were close enough to even fight endlessly, only to make peace and hug each other saying we're sorry.

Yet, I didn't want to stay stuck in my past. I wanted to move on with my life, but I wanted to move on with someone beside me. Someone who would support me and love me unconditionally.

The more I watched him and his new girlfriend together, like a flame going out, our romance came to an end for me.

Lost in my thoughts, I jumped up at the sound of my name being called across the room. He and his new girlfriend turned to look over at me.

I turned over to smile at them, wishing them happiness in their relationship and stood up and walked up to the counter.

Grabbing my coffee and saying a quiet thank you, I turned around and accidentally bumped into someone and fell onto the floor with my coffee splattered all over me.

"I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you.", my cheeks were painted a bright red. I was extremely embarrassed at my clumsiness.

A warm hand reached down and offered to pull me up. And as I looked up at the striking man a new flame flickered...

He only merely laughed and pulled me up.

"That's quite fine. I'm to blame also. I wasn't paying attention of the person in front of me. I had stepped up to closely so I could read the menu, because I had forgotten to wear my glasses. "

We both exchanged a laugh.

He smiled at me, "I'm actually new to this town. I had moved in just this week. The school that I'm going to is Cedar Ridge High School. Do you go to that school, because I have no idea where any building is, in this town."

I laughed even more, "I'd be happy to be your tour guide around this town. I'm actually heading out and going to the mall around here. Do you want to join me?"

"Sure."

Slowly, we spent more and more time together and became inseparable.

I was happy that I moved on just like I wanted. I moved on with someone who will be beside me. And even better...He loves me, just as much as I love him.

And the flames in our relationship spread like a wildfire all across my heart. :)

Hi...Hope you enjoyed my story. I wrote it while blasting music in my room.

I don't know how relationships are really supposed to be, but I wrote about one.

Yay me.
