When You Left Me

Jasmine

We Meet Again

The bright sun blazing on the lush campus gardens was enough to make anyone be drenched in sweat in less than five minutes and like a fool, I was out in the heat for damn near two hours. I stared at the dandelions scattered about the land like they were a curse by the devil himself. Why in the hell did I agree to help weed out the botanical gardens of Florida Atlantic University?

"Ugh it's so damn hot out here. I should've worn a tank top instead of my hoodie." I whined slightly but continued to clean the gardens. The gardens consisted of pine and oak trees along with rose bushes and Jasmine flowers that had bleeding heart vines all along the wooden fences keeping out the student body.

I knew deep down why I wanted to keep this place clean but I thought after two years I wouldn't care so damn much anymore. As I made my way down the cobblestone path in between the rose bushes, I made my way to the very reason I offered to clean the gardens. Standing in the middle of a canopy of oak trees was a maple branch Gazebo. I felt my eyes water when the structure came into view.

"Two years damnit , two and I'm still crying over him." I walked slowly inside the shaded area whilst running my fingertips along the sides. My heart seized up slightly as I came to the middle of the gazebo. I felt the tears, hot as the sun rays, from my eyes. Yeah, it definitely still hurt.

I gazed to my right, which overlooked the entrance to the schools campus and nearly choked as all the air rushed out my lungs in one swoop at the sudden sight.

I shakily muttered "Laurent" and watched as the brown eyes made nearly golden by the sun of the man I prayed I never saw again looked right back at me. Then heard him laugh.
