Carina

8

I opened my drowsy eyes and felt around me, Carina wasn't beside me as she always had been these short weeks. A timid smile made its way onto my face thinking of last nights events while I sat up out of bed, pushing the sheets out of my way, which led to them falling off the end. The wind wasn't howling and the rain had finally stopped, the sun begged to be seen while trees were on the point of collapsing and the bins were knocked over. I looked at my bed side table when the paper came into view. I creased my brow and picked the lined sheet up and read.

To Nathan,
Oh wow do we have something going for us, you're so special and you made me feel like I was worth so much more than what any other guy could give me. So that's why I'm leaving. Truth is, we really know nothing about each other, which to me, is a good thing. You're a great guy, but I can't bring you into my life. The people I know, the things I do and have done, I can't have you get involved in that, I couldn't live with myself. When I told you I love you, I really did mean it. Nathan you're the best guy, you deserve a girl that can give you so much more than I ever could. Please don't worry about me, I'm fine. I love you. - Carina

I felt like Carina just punched right through my chest breaking some bones in the process and ripped out my heart, even though it's out and I should die instantly, I don't but she keeps squeezing it, loosing more and more fluid that I need so desperately.

A door slammed downstairs, making me drop the note. I ran down the lengthy steps and out the front door only to see a glimpse of Carina's long brown gorgeous hair on the back of some dudes motorbike.

I knew it was too good to be true. To ever believe a girl that Wild, that Beautiful, that Spontaneous, that Smart. Would ever go for a guy like me.
