The ones I cannot forget

Mistakes

I whipped around, he had changed. I couldn't make out too much as i was shaking and my eyes were watery but he looked so different now. He was still tall, but wasn't hunky at all anymore, his stubble still stood but it was going grey. His hairline had retracted and a big bald patch had opened up in the middle of the thin fluffy hair.
" Sean?" I mumbled, voice wobbly.
" hey baby, I came back as if I could forget you" he grumbled, trying to sound sexy.
" why did you come back, did you get your old job back?" I asked, knees shaking.
" you bet, and I came back as I couldn't stop thinking about you. I decided there as no better time that the third anniversary of what happened. I need to put things right Autumn, I love you and will settle for no other"
" well you have to settle for other as I have a boyfriend,know Patrick Summs ?"
" omg, you date him... Baby I" he shook his head.
" I'm not your baby" I whispers shaking so much I couldn't contain myself.
" don't you remember the good times?" He asked walking towards me. " you know, walking in the park and making out or playing games and belly laughing so hard?" He added.
" or going to surprise you and finding you in bed with someone else" I muttered patronisingly, backing away from him.
" that was a mistake. And I shouldn't have done it, I'm so sorry love cake." She sighed, still pacing slowly towards me.
" move on Sean, I love someone else" I backed up into the wall.
" don't you love me just a little bit?" He asked, saddened that I didn't want to him.
" no" I whispered terrified of what he would do to me. His toes hit against mine and he stopped pacing towards me. He leant his hands on the wall and leant into me until he was holding my head in a very sexual pose. Was he going to rape or molest me?
" please sean, don't hurt me?" I muttered.
" why would I hurt someone as pretty as you?" He held my head close to his and I felt the tears falling down my cheeks. He shushed me. I squinted my eyes together and winced as his hot breath hit my head like a slap. I wanted to scream or wriggle but nothing came out of my mouth when I opened it. When I tried to move I felt superglued to the wall. This was horrible. Nothing could save me now...
Suddenly I heard the door bust open, someone had seen us. Sean jumped away from me and I jerked up off the wall. I ran to the other side of the room and finally looked at my hero, it was Patrick.
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT?" He screamed, pale red door flapping behind him.
" I'm just leaving, gotta get to work" Sean sprinted past pat and left, thankfully.
I sat down on the nearest chair, heart racing, too weak to stay standing. My legs were shaking so hard they made the chair legs vibrate uncomfortably against my hips. " I love you so much thank you" I smiled at Patrick, he loved me after all.
" don't you dare" he fumed at me.
" what did I-" I began.
" cheating on me? You're really that low?" He asked walking over to me.
" no I wasn't look he was talking about the old times and then he pushed me against a wall and tried to rape me or something" I explained.
" so believable Autumn, nice one. I just don't get you sometimes."
" no I swear"
" as soon as your ex walks back into your life you want him and throw me away like rubbish" he huffed angrily.
" no you don't get it, I don't like him, he kept saying he wanted me back but I said no as I have you babe," I met his eyes. The glisten was missing and they were full of water brimming over.
" stay away from Sean" he mumbled, walking out of the room. I let a couple of my tears roll down my cheeks before I wiped them away and tried to suck it up.
It was good to argue, all I had done recently is question our love and arguing should clear the air. I would prove myself to him. I ran upstairs back to my room and noticed Katie on the phone.
" alright well ill get those files to you in ten okay? Cool bye then" she put the phone down. " lily need some files, did you get your water you took ages" she finally Met eyes with me but didn't notice anything.
I let a few more tears roll away and explained my whole situation.
" aww babe don't worry, arguing is good, healthy! Meet up and talk it out at lunch, and you'll be best buddies again in no time" she soothed rubbing my back.
" I know, I'm stronger than this. Thanks though" I nodded at her thankfully.
" well it's almost one now, so go meet pat, I'll drop the files of at Lily's" she smiled at me before walking out.
She was right. I wrapped up in my coat and changed into some turquoise Wellington boots. I grabbed a bag and trekked down to Patrick's office. I met Lee on the way down.
" hey beautiful, where you off to?" He asked me.
" to lunch with Patrick, cant stop and chat sorry" I turned for the stairwell so fast I didn't even hear him say " stay beautiful" like he always does.
I fast walked down to his office and stood next to his door bracing myself. Anxiety isn't my friend..
"Autumn, you love him you didn't cheat so he can't dump you for nothing.you can do this" I pep talked myself but it was useless. As I swung round to the door it was totally dark and no lights were on. The blinds were pulled and I guessed he had gone to lunch early. Was he trying to avoid me? I knew exactly where he was.
" you're not gonna let him slip through your fingers" I growled to myself and I began sprinting towards the entrance if the building.
I noticed Lee there flirting with some girl.
" hey beautiful where your off to in a rush?" He sounded concerned but I didn't reply.
"BEAUTIFUL?!?"I heard the girl cry, I instantly recognised her by her voice, it was Hibbert. On any usual day I would have laughed at this, but right now I was In a mood, a mood to win my baby back.
I ran determinedly all through the streets and up to the park entrance. I ran up the hill and last the frozen, deserted duck pond to the bench. There was Patrick.
I allowed myself to catch my breath before going over to him. Only then did I truly notice the biting cold. I shivered,staring at him. He was one of the best things that had ever happened to me.
He sat on the bench staring sombre at the ice. He was wrapped in a thick fur coat and was slowly eating a sandwich on the frosty bench. I sauntered over to him.
" hey" I sat down.
" we need to talk " he muttered, laying the sandwich back in his lunchbox and stuffing it in his bag.
" agreed, but you need to listen-"
" no Autumn, for once listen to me. You haven't taken any of my subtle hints that this isn't working out. The last few weeks you haven't been you, the love hasn't been there. This cheating thing is just the tip of the ice berg." He stared out at the park, not making eye contact with me.
" I wasn't cheating" I muffled beneath my gloves.
" maybe you weren't, but to see you and an ex like that ruined any hope for me of sorting this out. I think it would be best if we kept it professional, went out own ways" he sighed melancholy.
Time froze and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
" me too the love isn't here anymore" I didn't want him to see me cry so I held back tears which were trying to swim over the lashes of my eyes.
" it's been great but it doesn't always work, there's been too many mistakes." He stood up and turned away from me, I think he was crying.
" you and Sean are the ones I cannot forget" I agreed as he slowly walked away towards the frozen duck pond. As soon as he had vanished from view I allowed myself a silent sob.this day was a doomsday, how could he have forgotten how hard this day was for me. Too many memories which I tried to forget had come flooding back.
I was no longer hungry so I walked down to the pond, snow crunching beneath me.
I could remember feeding ducks with Patrick on our first date so I sat on the frozen pond and threw my lunch onto the ice. I knew no ducks were there but for some reason it helped the pain.
It was for the best,things had been so strange lately and at least this made me make sense of it all.
I cannot forget him....never.
