" I felt her absence. It was like waking up one day with no teeth in your mouth, you wouldn't have to run to the bathroom mirror to know they were gone"

-
Brennan's pov;

Seeing that boy walk up to her, the way her cheeks became red, just like the first time she met me, made my heart ache.
They danced, and her eyes had a twinkle in them I hadn't seen in a while.
And that's when I realized it, and it tore a hole in my heart.
She was falling in love, sure it was the first, petty stage, where it's happy and giddy, but it was beggining, just like it had with us.
She didnt recognize it, and niether did he, but I did, because I knew the feeling. I say and I watched, and I felt the burning in my heart, I knew I was in love, and she wasn't anymore.
The burning, it went through my whole body, the way he made her laugh, like only I thought I could.
It kept coming back, hitting me like a bullet, the more I replayed it in my mind the worse it became, even when I thought I had gotten used to it I would repeat the words in my head.

She isn't in love with me anymore.

And It was like dying a thousand little deaths over and over.
When they went out on the deck it was easier, not having to see her.
I'm okay, I'm okay, I tried repeating.
I saw her mom, staring at her and that boy, he was perfect for her, he was nice funny, and a family friend.
I knew her mother would love him, he seemed perfect, and I was far from it, after all I'd hurt her daughter.

It became stuffy, so I made my way out side to find them standing there.
He pecked her lips, and her cheeks red, just like with us.
And he left, I cleared my throat.
She turned her head towards me, I didn't try to hide the sadness in my eyes, she deserved to see it.
"Sorry to interupt" I said, and made my way back through the doors
The feeling in my heart only got worse.
I wasn't the one she was going to fall asleep thinking about anymore, it was going to be him.
