"tay, please listen-"
"no! dont take another step closer to me" she says and flares her nostrils. i've never seen her so angry or upset. her hands were trembling and her hair was a mess, almost like it was showing over her emotions.
"i'm sorry that i kissed you! i just got so in the moment an-"
"its not that you kissed me" she cuts off again and i look at her, my stomach twisting in knots, knowing what she was going to say. "its that, you are...you! lynn, why?" she screams and an older women who was walking out to her car, glanced at us.
"Taylor" i say and her face relaxed slightly as i used her first name. "why are you so blind? you can't see how much i love you and how hard i've worked and cared for you!" i shriek in frustration and her mouth hung slightly open.
"i-im sorry i..i have to go" she stutters and ran to her car, barely shutting the door before she pulled away. the knot in my stomach grew bigger and i grabbed my hair and tugged slightly, cursing silently to myself.
"you did the right thing telling her you love her" a rough voice said and i turned around to see the old women again.
"i-im sorry for bothering you"i muttered before i realized what she said. "what do you mean?" i say afterwards and she chuckles.
"i use to love someone once. she had the kindest eyes and the brightest hair, oh i just adored her. she always told me that we were opposites and thats what made us come together. my green eyes and black hair, and her blonde honey hair, blue eyes, oh they made us stand out when we were together. but one day, we got into a fight, something couples do, like you, and that girl" i wanted to interupt and tell her we werent dating but i just kept my mouth shut, "and she got into the car, screaming at me that i wasn't being serious enough about our relationship. that it seemed like i was trying to hide it. but mind it, i was, for back then, it wasnt right for gays. but i let her leave, she threw a necklace at me right as she turned to go. and i realized as i got the phone call that she got into a car accident on the way home, that i have never told her how much i loved her"
i stood there, looking at the old women. i didnt see her as a frail old soul with curly short dark gray hair, holding a walking cane. i saw her green eyes and black hair in a tangled mess, mascara running down her cheeks and clutching a necklace in her soft hands.
"Caroline never knew how much i loved her" she repeats and looks up at me. i walk slowly to her and out a hand on her shoulder. "so for a small old womens sake, please, run after her and make sure she knows how much you love her and dont leave until she knows its true" she whispers and i hugged her.
"i will, i will" i whisper and pull away, smiling at her. i ran to the car that brian and i were sharing and looked at her.
"tell caroline that you love her" she shouts and i got into my car, buckling up before pulling out of the driveway.
