She left him in a way couldn't forget. He just couldn't get it out of his system.
The guilt.
Her absence.
And it was all because of him.
4 years without her and counting, sometimes he wonders, how many more left until he can go back to wherever she...
It was almost 7pm and I was done coating my lips with the last coat of the bloodred lipstick that matched my dress.

I was invited by Ava and Justin's parents for a dinner at their place and Justin told me he'll be here to pick me up at seven.
I heard the bell ring so I quickly grabbed my clutch and walked out of the room and went downstairs.
Mom had let Justin in an they were talking as I observed his outfit. He was wearing black trouser and only a black tight fitting dress shirt that showed off his built. He wasn't wearing any blazer on it and had left the first four buttons of his shirt open, so that half his cross tattoo was peeping out.
His hair were sleeked back like usual and he looked simple yet stunning.
"There she is" mom said when she realized I was there and I smiled at him when he saw me.
When I reached him, I couldn't control but lean in and place a kiss on his cheek that caused them to tint red like always making me want to giggle but I pretended like I didn't see it.
"Y-You look amazing" He said and I grinned.
"You too" I said.
"We should get going" He said and looked at mom and I nodded.
"Bye mom" I said.
"When will you be back?" She asked.
"Don't worry, I'll drop her off when we are done with the dinner" He said and mom smiled.
"Okay" She said and I grabbed his hand and led him outside before mom could come up with another question.
He opened the door of the passenger seat to me and I sat in before he sat in the driver's seat. He looked a little tense so I decided to warm him up a little.
"So, how are you today Awkwardstin?" I asked when he started driving and I saw him roll his eyes.
"Are you really gonna do that to me all the time?" He said and I chuckled.
"Alright, how are you Justin?" I asked.
"Good, what about you?" He asked.
"I'm good too" I said and we talked about random stuff until we reached his parents' house and we got off the car.
"Um, Valerie, wait" He said and stopped me before standing in front of me.
"Its been a month since we're doing this so w-we need to look a little more comfortable with each other, you know what I mean? They need to feel like we-
"Yeah, I get it Justin, don't worry" I said and he licked his lips and nodded and I let out a giggle I was holding in and he furrowed his eyebrows at me.
