Having been coast to coast since I've left Silver Falls I find myself where I had left, and never wanted to looked back till now. When Ivy made me leave her house I was heartbroken I mean did I love her?
No..
Did it hurt to open up to someone about something so sensitive to be turned away?
Yes..
Did I find myself back in silver falls after months of being away because of her?
Yes..
Part of me wondered why she hadn't contacted me, but a part of me knew it was because she didn't read the letter I left her. Did she not care enough to open it? Was whatever we had nothing to her? Or was she fighting her demons still like she was before?
See this is what happened when I left Ivy's house all those months ago.
Flashback...:
Slamming the door behind me tears are quick to slip down my face as I get into my car. I was never much of a crier but something about being vulnerable to someone like that for them to react like Ivy did. Really hurts.
Not even remembering the drive home i make my way up to my room followed by Vanessa.
"What?" I ask angrily shoving all the shit that's important to me into a duffle bag.
"Master Maddox is everything ok? I have Ivy's clothes what would you like me to do with them." She holds out the clothes, I had helped Ivy out of not even twenty four hours ago, out to me.
"Trash them." Sternly I say walking to my closet pulling out a couple more duffle bags. "Are you sure?" She asks walking to the door but waiting with her back to me.
"Y-..Yea. Trash them I'm sure." Knowing my voice wasn't sure of the words it produced. Vanessa leaves not giving me a reply leaving me to continue my packing.
"Maddox." A deep authority voice commands my name. Causing me once again to stop.
"What are you doing boy?" My father asks walking to my side. My hands gripped in fists inside the duffle bag I had been shoving my clothes in. Attempting to fold them.
"Leaving. Like I should've done when I first got here."
"Why?" The way he said it sounded sad in a way, but that's too good to be true.
"I just don't belong here. You didn't want me here in the first place anyways. All you do is beat on me why I don't fucking know but you do. I'm over it. I'm old enough to access my trust mother set up for me. I'm leaving and that's that." Why the words that spilled out did i couldn't say but they did.
"Son... look at me." He says touching my arm only for me block his hand from touching me.
"Don't touch me."
He raises his hands in surrender. "Son Im sorry."
And as if the world stopped spinning I know my brain stopped working, because Felix Silver just apologized to me.
"I don't trust it." Is all i say continuing packing moving around my room packing the few thing I have here.
"Son Im sorry. Truly I am. It's,... you look so much like your mother. Maddox you need to understand.." before he can finish his sentence I give him a good one.
A nice crack resinates around the room as he clutches his nose.
"You fu....ckin," groaning out the rest he holds his nose with one hand. "I deserved that for what I put you through. I'm sorry truly I am and if you ever come back and want to hear me out then you know where to find me." He says as he leaves my room. His designer shoes clacking down the hall till they're nonexistent.
Grabbing the last things off my desk I stop at a small paper on my deck. And scribbled on it was Ivy's name and mine next to it with a small heart with an arrow through it. When did she do this?
Quickly turning the paper around I wrote a message to her. Calling for Vanessa to bring me a envelope and to make sure it was crisp and white. Always pleasing she retuned right when I finished my letter to Ivy. Pouring my heart out. Or what I had left to offer.
Finally feeling like I've said my peace I fold the paper as neatly as I can and place it in the envelope. Licking the seal I write her name in cursive on the front.
Ivy..
Leaving it on my now barren desk I grab my stuff and leave shutting the light in my room off. Forever saying goodbye.
Flashback ends...
And now? Well I sit on my bike up the street from Ivy's house. Watching as she steps out of a white car. Smiling and giggling. Her cap and gown suits her. She looks happy.
Better then when I had left. Maybe she didn't need me to help her through the tough times. Just like how I figured out my own shit while being on the road.
When the door to her home closes behind her and the white car drives off. I turn my bike on and speed down the street leaving once again. With just what's in the backpack on my back.
This time hoping, I'll never see the sweet, freckled face girl that I had been falling for again.
This is how it's always been meant to be. Me on my own. And as if the dj on the radio sensed my mood. The song Here I Go Again by Whitesnake plays through my bikes stereo.
So I take to the road again. Not bothering to look back anymore, or ever again.
