the lyrics to hostage, by billie eilish, played
through my earphones as i looked down at the water. i tapped gently against the metal bar with my fingetips, a sigh leaving my lips, as the pink and orange sky faded into a purple.

another night was spent waiting,
waiting for ethan to come and join me at our
spot. but he didn't come.

" where are you, ethan? "
i muttered this to myself, swinging my legs slightly as my body trembled, due to the cold air.

i still waited, however. i refused to believe that he wasn't going to turn up, but eventually, i was left with no choice.

i stood up, beginning to walk down the road, all over again. it felt like deja vu, and something as small as this, made my heart ache.

maybe he was going to come
tomorrow night?
no, he wasn't.
