"One day my love...I will come back for you..."'

I cried as he boarded the plane back to Dublin, it had only been a few months and already he was leaving my side again. His name was Aidan, He had shaggy brown hair and deep brown eyes and was also very tall. We had known eachother for four years and it seemed that life's moments were made better by eachothers presence. My name was Clara, I was around avarage height with blue eyes and long brown hair. I was 17 he was 20, and though age never seemed to be an issue with us...distance was.

I trudged back to the car clutching my phone and hoping for a miracle, "Maybe they wont take off". I thought "Or maybe he will come running out and change his mind". But I looked back to the revolving glass doors...nothing, nobody was comming and the only thing making noise was the sounds of the urban airport.

I had only just gotten under the parking garadge when I felt a tear escape from my eye, "No...he will come back". But reassuring myself could only hold me for so long. The cars made long lines out the gate which did not help my situation. I got into my car and waited for the ignition to turn on...Two hours later I was in the line of cars awaitng to escape this madning place. As I krept my way out onto the highway I heard our song playing on the radio...

"Hey there dehlilah whats it like in New York city i'm 1,000 miles away but girl tonight you look so pretty yes you do...time square can't shine as bright as you, I swear its true..."

I rested my head on the stearing wheel and let my tears flow out as the song played. The weather was as dreary as my mood, it was raining and there was lightning all around me. "Please Aidan...get there safe..."

We finally started moving after about 45 minutes on the highway, I was driving along the I-35 as fast as my toyota landcrusier would let me travel. I lived about 30 minutes away driving at a normal speed so going 89 MPH...I would be there in fifteen. My familys house was settled inbetween the rich neighborhood and the ghetto, though my mom only associated us with the richer side saying, "Its the side we are closest to so thats who we associate with". I never really cared for the rich, they seemed rude and unappealing but then again so was my mom.

I arrived at the small pink and white house on Wolff Dr. and walked the driveway to the screen door. "locked ofcourse.." I mummbled as I trudged around the back. The back door was wide open and my mom was sitting next to the pool doing her normal mid- morning yoga.

"Hello mom..."

"Namaste daughter, did everything go alright with the drop-off"?

Though I could not help the urdge to roll my eyes I told her I was fine and stammped my way into the house. The lights were all turned off and the main room had a sudden erieness to it, "Everything is dark without him"! I ran to my room and dived into my pillow trying not to let to much of my emotion flow out, suddenly a ringing came from my pocket. "It's him! It has to be"! I scrambled to grab my phone from my pocket...to my suprise it was my dad, I answered.

"Hello father..."

He spoke in a low tone as was normal, "Hello dear I just wanted to see if Aidan made it to his flight safely."

I was attempting to not sound annoyed at this point, "Yes he's fine hes been in the air now for..." I checked my watch, "3 hours he should be arriving soon."

"Great"! He exclaimed, "Will he call you when he gets re-settled"?

I shook my head and smiled, "I hope so.." I was scared for his safety, the fact that we had only just seen eachother for the first time...if anything were to happen to him it would be the death of me!

I hung up my phone and turned on my TV which fell on the comedy channel, a good laugh was always needed and the horriable comadies of Daniel Tosh could normally numb my brain for a good hour and a half. It was about 7:30 now, I had fallen deeply asleep with every light on in my room! Suddenly the phone began to ring...It was him!

I answered desprately, "Hello"?

"I'm home now love. Everthing go ok with the drive home"?

Trying not to sound drowsey or overly relieved I perked up when I answered,

"It could have been better, a bit dark but there were chances of storms anyhow....Oh I cant lie! I miss you already!" I tried to keep my voice from trembling as tears started to whell in my eyes, I heard his comforting voice say to me,

"Now now come to dear. Its only a short break away from eachother until the fall....We can make it till then right"?

I took a deep breath, smiled and closed my eyes. "Yeah, we can do it...". Though I was reluctant to have to wait that long I had to be paitent, after all the next time he comes down is the day he had said he would prepose! We talked about the airport, the screaming children and the absent minded-parents. He then brought up the topic I had yurned to talk about, The marriage.

"I still need you to tell me your ring size". He said sweetly, "And preferably tell which ring you like".

I smirked, "Now I know you joking". I said sarcastically and giggled, "I would do anything to be there with you and to see the ring but then again it would ruin the surprise". He went silent for a minute then laughed, "I suppose your right, well it's getting late I'll text you in the morning ok"? I rested my face against the phone and closed my eyes, "that's fine baby, I love you". "I love you too Hun". He then yawned, said goodbye and went off as did I, drifting in and out of drowsy-ness.

At about 2:30 I heard my phone buzz... It was my ex.

It read, "You two are so cute, it's a shame I left you so broken...he will only do the same after all he's only a man. You better take some steps back honey, you don't wanna go to that dark place all over again do you? Lol! Your pathetic Clara! You may as well die now save yourself the hurt. Night"'

I felt my heart drop into my stomach and my eyes swell with tears, I called Aidan's phone. It went straight to voicemail...

In my trembling state and hoping it was nothing but I dream I spoke...

"Baby it's Clara...call me as soon as you wake up..."

I paused to let a single tear roll down my cheek.

"We need to talk it's urgent..."

That night I had cried myself to sleep, hearing those words buzz around drove me insane! It was 7:30 am and I had woken up to check my phone, four missed calls...Aidan!

I quick dialed his number and even before it could ring once, he answered with a new sternness,

"What's got you distressed now babe"?

I lowered my voice to a crying whisper.

"He's back baby...that son of a bitch didn't get the him the first time...he's back"!

Aidan went silent, longer then usual. I could tell his anger was swelling and boiling over...this wasn't there first go around...and he had hoped it would have been their last...

"Don't respond baby...leave that to me...that punks messed with my fiancé for the last time"!

I could not have felt better in that moment, "It's still early here baby I'm gonna go back to bed". I said yawning and groaning.

"Alright baby sleep good...I love you"

"I love you more Aidan...more then you will ever know.."
