orange

-luke-

 

orange was the color of the crayon i was scribbling with when i got the news.

 

the name flashed on my phone screen, sending my heart into a flurry.

 

“hello?” i said, orange excitement bursting with the word. i couldn’t believe you were finally calling.

 

but, when the voice on the other end wasn’t yours, my heart dropped.

 

“there’s been an accident,” your mom said.

 

i could barely make out her words through the sound of her sobs.

 

she said something about the hospital, and something about blood. and just like that, i was leaving my house.

 

the orange tail lights of the traffic in front of me reminded me of the orange crayon i had been scribbling with just minutes before.

 

the crayon i stole from your perfect box.

 

i knew you’d always loved colors more than you would ever love me.

 

yours,

luke.
