Grayson's POV

Everything slowly faded around me. At first, I had a headache, but I soon got used to it and the headache subsided.

I looked around at the trees as I relaxed my body. I felt so good. I couldn't feel the pain anymore, and the memories started to disappear. My mind became blank as I stood up and started walking.

I walked around in the park, looking at the trees rustling in the wind. A large gust of wind blew a load of leaves through the air like magic. It was beautiful.

If I'm going to get to the gas station by 11, I have to leave now. I made my way out of the park as I started walking in the direction I had to go.

I remember my way their, it's where me and Megan were...
Megan.
She was once again on my mind.

The ache in my heart returned as my vision went back to normal. A shooting pain erupted in my head, I then threw up. I threw up all the alcohol from earlier, then started walking again.

I walked and walked.
Feeling lonelier and lonelier as I took each step.
My broken pieces were scattering, leaving me lost. Part of me was still at the hotel, another in that alleyway.
But most of me disappeared with her.

She broke me apart and took away the strongest parts of me. She took me away. Now I can't do anything. I can't do anything without her.

I got lost in my thoughts as I dragged my feet, slowly making my way to the quiet gas station outside of town. The closer I got, the worse I felt.

As soon as I caught a glimpse of it, I almost broke down. The memories flooded my head. The way she touched me. The way she held me. The way she kissed me...

It kept replaying in my brain.
I could practically see it happening in front of me. Me throwing her over my shoulder as she laughed. Spinning around as I held her.
I didn't realise I was crying till I felt a droplet of water land on my hand.

I quickly wiped away my tears as I tried to push away the memories. I walked closer to the gas station, spotting a man stood outside. This must be him.

I walked over to the gas station and stood about 20 meters away from him. We made eye contact and I nodded my head at him. At first he looked confused, but then nodded.

I made my way over to him as I had placed the bag in my hand. I greeted the man and we locked hands, swapping the bag I had in my hand for money. I then nodded to him and walked away into the darkness.

I didn't want to go back, not yet.
I sat in the bushes, watching the gas station intently. All I could see was her. She was everywhere. I needed to forget, but I couldn't. She was there, she was haunting me. I needed her.

I felt my head get heavy and I rested it back on a tree, as I felt my eyelids droop. I fell asleep, leaning against a tree, my mind thinking of nothing but her.

...

I woke up to the sound of a car honking it's horn. I slowly stood up. My stomach was hurting, I was starving.

I had money, but it wasn't mine. I couldn't leave without eating something though, so I made my way into the shop and grabbed a sandwich.

I left without paying, and swiftly walked away from the gas station, without getting caught.

I ate my sandwich as I walked down the road. In my sandwich was turkey.
Megan would always choose turkey sandwiches, but she doesn't like having butter or brown bread, she likes having white bread with sour cream sauce. She always left the crusts for me as she knew it was my favourite part.
