Heartbroken

Chapter 7

About a week later- 12:47pm

It was a sunny afternoon and I would have loved to just walk around and talk with Brodie but unfortunately I was helping him pack.
So much for trying to forget he's leaving in a little more than a week...

I'm really going to miss him. I don't know what I will do when he leaves. Even before we started dating he's always been a big part of my life. As I continued to help him pack I listened closely to the song that came on 'Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself In thinking that I'm fine'. I just wanted to cry but it wouldn't change a thing.

After a while of packing we all took a break and I sat there curious and engulfed in my thoughts as Brodie ran upstairs. After a few minutes I was shocked to see him run downstairs with a big poster board and flowers. It took a second to register in my brain, I had forgotten that prom was only a few days away and I started tearing up as I read it. 'Flowers are the second most beautiful thing, Can I go to prom with the first?'

He handed me the flowers and held up the poster. "Will you go to prom with me, beautiful?" And he smiled his perfect little smile. "Yes of course I will!" I said as I ran up and hugged him tightly. I pulled away from the hug to kiss his perfect lips, everything about him is perfect and our lips fit together perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Until I remember that he's leaving soon but I try to push that thought aside and be happy for the time we have together.

Soon after, I leave to my house, I turn on my playlist as a get undressed and start the water in the shower. I get under the steaming, hot water and just stand there relaxing as the water cascades down my back and around all my curves and edges.  I sang along to my music as it played loudly, 'only black days and sky grey and clouds full of fear, and storms full of sorrow' and tears started flowing with the water.

I released all the pain I was holding in, comforted my the extremely hot water. Thinking about how good it felt to let go and not worry about people seeing; hearing me. I didn't realize I was in there that long until heard the door knock, I checked my phone to see that I had been in the shower for almost an hour and a half.

I quickly got dressed and ran to go check the door.
