FORGOTTEN LOVE
episode 3

How could she say that? How could
she comment on my job. Don't I know
I am a failure. Why did she had to go
all the way out and make me feel
insulted?
I can't take her anymore. She is
becoming too much, I can't handle her.
Marrying her was the greatest mistake
of my life. And I regret it. With all my
heart. More importantly I should stop
driving. I am drunk and I am driving
really carelessly. I don't know what it
is with me and driving we don't really
get along. Ha! Just like me and Pauline.
I can't believe that she is the same
woman I fell in love with 10 years ago.
At 16. It was so fresh. So cute. So
new. Those high school lunches. Our
favourite hiding spot. Going over each
others places because of homework.
First kiss. Prom. Graduation. Same
college. Same dorm. Everything in life
that we did. We shared it. Every part of
it. Why are we running out of love
then? What are we getting punished
for?
I really cant think. Too much of alcohol
has given me a blurry head and a
blurry vision.
Whats that vibrating?
"Pauline calling"
Great.
"Hello."
Theres complete silence on the other
side of the phone. Of course I can hear
the traffic that means she is driving.
After what felt like hours she spoke up
finally.
"Where are you?" Her voice sounded as
if she was crying.
"Why do you care?" I try to keep my
calm.
"Just fucking tell me where are you?"
"7th street."
"Im around the corner I wanna talk."
"Why? What? Haven't you done enough
of that?"
"I wanna talk more. Its weird but I
actually felt a bit better by letting it
out. And I just want to be done with it.
I just hope that this is a dream and I
wake up and start my life all over
again. Marrying you was the worst
decision I ever made."
I clenched my fingers around the
steering really hard. So hard that my
knuckles were turning white.
"Forget dreaming. I just hope that you
somehow get erased from my memory.
So that I don't have to live with the
fact that I committed the mistake of
marrying you. Oh God why was I so
stupid ? Why ? Why did I ask you out?"
"Oh yeah? Well guess what! I want the
same. Lets just erase these past 10
years. As it is I wouldn't get them
back anyhow."
Who does she think she is? She tells
me crap and then instead of
apologising for what she said, she is
preferring telling me more over phone.
Anyway.
"Pauline" Wait. Wayne Wait. No
"I love you." There you go . crapped.
"What?" I couldn't see her but I bet her
face would have been a view.
"I love you, pauline. I really do. Lets just
call it a night. Go home and sleep.
We'll talk about it later. Maybe
tomorrow morning."
"I can't do it wayne. I'm tired now. I
love you too. I always will. But I really
want sometime away for now."
Just then bright eyes flashed on my
eyes. As it is my vision was blurred.
Now I lost grip over my steering and
all I could see was another SUV
coming my way. I recognised it right
away. It was her.
"Pauline watch out." I shouted. But it
was too late. Our cars crashed.
Remember how people tell that when
you're close to death your entire life
flashes in front of your eyes. It was
happening. Everything slowed down.
The broken pieces of our windshield
and windows were flying slowly. I could
see Pauline and her hair flying. She
already had bruises and cuts.
I on the other hand fell straight away
on glass. No seatbelt. I fell on the
ground so did she.
We both were injured. Lying there half
conscious. Staring into each other's
eyes. And within seconds I saw
everything. The day we met. My
proposal. Prom. College. Marriage.
First firework we had seen. Beach day.
Me meeting her family. She meeting
mine. All of our good days. Happy
days.
I saw Pauline extending her hand
towards me. Asking me to hold it.
Maybe this would be the last time I
would ever hold her hand. Maybe this
is the last time I'd see her.
In just a matter of seconds, just a few
seconds I can become her memory. Or
she can become mine. Or we both
might die.
The blurriness got more intense and
pain instantly shot in my head. Myj
eyes felt heavy, it all started blacking
out. ...
