Runaway Love

Chapter 2

"1 Killed, 2 Injured After Deadly Car Crash in Stonybrook" was the news headline today. The other person that got hurt was that guy who crashed into the car. I found out that he was drunk and was 30 years old. That guy killed my poor little Collin. That guy ruined my life. That guy ruined everything.

I got out of the hospital two days after the major car crash. The doctor told me to stay home and rest but I can't rest with so much in my mind. When I got home, driven by my mom, I limped walked into my room and shut the door. I took out my phone and looked at my last texts from Collin:

Me; I'll see you later when we go to the movies. Bye. ilysfm💘

Collin: Okay💘. byee. ilym💕

I started crying. Really really hard. Then I looked up and saw my wall. Dozens of pictures of me and Collin having fun together. Why is my life unfortunate? Why did this happen to me? Did I deserve this?

Just then, I got a text from Crystal, my best friend.

Crystal; Hey! I heard about the car crash. Are you okay? I feel so bad for your loss.

Me; hi. no, I'm not okay. too many things happened. I swear all of this is my fault.

Crystal; no it isn't. maybe this happened bc there's something better for you in life.

Me; like what?

Crystal; no offense or anything but maybe this happened bc u two weren't meant to be?

I stayed silent after that. I wouldn't text back. Maybe she was right. Maybe there is better for me in the world. But who's better than Collin? There's probably people who are.

I took out my neon yellow headphone and put them on. I listened to Don't You Forget About Me by SWS.

The hardest thing I'd ever do is say goodbye

And walk slowly away from you

But I'll do it

And after all this time I shared with you,

It seems unfair to leave unfair with nothing more than blank stares

But I'll do it

If it's for the best then I'll wish you well

If it helps to say our life was a living hell

Well then do it

Don't you ever forget about me

When you toss and turn in your sleep

I hope it's because you can't stop thinking about

The reasons why you close your eyes

I'd haunt your dreams at night

So you can't stop thinking about me

Don't stop thinking about me

Do you really think you could see this through

Put on a smile and wear it for someone new?

Don't you do it

Cause I know I'm not the easiest one to love

But every ounce I have

I'd invest in you

No one said love's not for taking chances

So don't you ever forget about me

When you toss and turn in your sleep

I hope it's because you can't stop thinking about

The reason why you close your eyes

I'd haunt your dreams at night

So you can't stop thinking about me

Don't stop thinking about me

Will you take me back in the morning

If I promise to never act this way again?

Oh, 'cause I'm so bad at being lonely

But I don't know how

I don't know how

So don't you ever forget about me

Don't you ever forget about me

Don't you ever forget about me

When you toss and turn in your sleep

I hope it's because you can't stop thinking about

The reasons why you close your eyes

I'd haunt your dreams at night

So you can't stop thinking about me

Don't stop thinking about me

Just close your eyes and fall asleep tonight

I fell asleep after, wondering what to do with this thing I have called life.
