Music ^^

"Um... Hey Ada," I smiled hearing his voice, squeezing my phone closer to my ear.

"I just wanted to call to tell you that I decided to head off to Cali early with the rest of the guys. I just thought it'd be better if I left, and what you said last night made my decision for me," my head ached,

"I didn't want to tell you because I knew I'd change my mind, and I just want to start making music as soon as possible, so yeah. I left you something downstairs, I was meaning to give it to you last night but....Please don't be sad, sweetheart. Maybe some day we'll find our perfect time. I love you Adalise....goodbye."

A tear slipped from my eye and it was as if I couldn't move because my heart stopped beating and my head was spinning.

Then
My
Tears

Turned into pools of sad sobs as my body hunched into a ball as I thought about how there would be no more,

Shows,
Or
Waffles
Or
Lilies
Or
Hazel eyes
Or
Freckles
Or
Honey hair
Or
Guitar picks
Or
Reggie

No more Reggie.

But there was his old Americana t-shirt that i had on which I held like it was going to slip through my hands like he did, and that smelled like all of our good memories.

My legs trembled as my body slightly shook taking steps down the stairs.

And my chest hurt because of how my heart was breaking and the cries that left my mouth.

But on the kitchen counter was a plate of waffles with maple syrup and brown sugar,

And a single lily.

And I ran, like it was a lifeline to Reggie, to the plate and flower

As if he would reappear and tell me he would never leave me.

But it was just a flower and breakfast.

Next to it was a blue Pandora box,

With a silver necklace inside the satin interior
Which had a pendent

That had an A and R engraved in it.

And I flipped my hair to the side to put it on and instantly started tracing the grooves of our initials which made me want to hear his voice again,

So I pulled out my phone and dialed his number

Waiting

and waiting for him to pickup and tell me that he loved me again.

"Leave a message at the beep."

I took a breath as I traced the outline of the lily.

"Hi Reg....," his name sounded so different

"I got your voicemail, and I called hoping you'd answer your phone because I didn't get to say goodbye,"

"I know your mad at me, and you don't understand, but I love you, so much that I had to let you go," I covered my mouth with my hand to stop the sound of my cries.

"I want you to be who you've always wanted to be, and make music, and get invited to interviews with famous people without worrying about the girl you left behind in Scranton. College is coming up soon...I decided on Cornell.....Thank you for the necklace by the way, it's beautiful," everything felt awkward.

" I'll never forgot you Reg, I'll always remember you as the boy who made me the best waffles and who sang the best songs and who thought my hair smelled like lilies. My first love and heartbreak,"

I held the pendent that rested on my neck,

I love you, goodbye Reggie."
