Into The Unknown

Prologue

Chris' POV

I always wondered what it would have been like if I hadn't have gone home that day. Would you still be here for me? Maybe if I had ignored my pain, you wouldn't be gone right now. Or maybe if I hadn't told you I hated you, things wouldn't have turned out this way. We were all each other had. You kept your promise, but I didn't keep mine...

My eyes shot up as the timer went off. As I dropped my pen, I realized why I stopped writing so much and stuck to the art. It started to seem like whenever I started writing your image appeared in my mind.

I sat back in my chair, regretting everything I wrote, when the teacher decided to collect this week's paper. I quickly reached into my bag and swapped out the paper I prepared incase this situation came. I had it all figured out in my head that I would write about today, so I wrote an essay ahead of time. Thank you for invading my mind once again.

This is when I constantly ask myself if you were still here whether or not that would matter. You used to come into my mind and bring a smile across my face. Now, it only seems like the more I think about you, the more I blame myself. That only means that the more I blame myself, the more overwhelmed I get with my sorrow. I may be dramatic, but after what happened between us, I have no choice. I have a lot of questions to ask you. I find myself getting lost in an imaginary conversation with you as if you are still strumming your hand against that lone guitar in your room. I haven't looked anyone in the eye since you left that day...

I snapped myself from my thoughts and got up from my table and proceeded to my locker, before my teacher called my name.

"Yes, ma'am," I replied lowly.

"You did great today! Maybe next week you will engage with the other students," she smiled.

I looked down upon her figure as her eyes seemed to burn my flesh with some sense of hope. I slowly backed into the hallway examining my shoelaces. After that, I knew I was going to struggle to get through the rest of the day.
