The first thing I remember about that morning was being woken up by the brightness glowing through my closed eyelids.Damn it... Forgot to close the curtains again.
I woke up with a yawn and stretched out my heavy limbs. It was sunny out.... a nice day for the first time in awhile. I hadn't been planning on going out that day, but the park was only a few blocks away from my house and I was struck with the realization that I really had nothing better to do. I threw on my beige shirt that had been hanging off the foot of my bed as I checked my phone.
Still nothing from her.
Tracy, my girlfriend of 5 years had broken up with me months ago, but it still felt as fresh as yesterday. I wasn't sure why I was expecting to see a text from her. I felt that familiar sinking feeling in my chest that I always had when I thought of her, but I tried to ignore it.
Today was a new day.

I made it to the park within a matter of minutes. I decided to leave my phone at home so I wouldn't be distracted by it, but still I kept reaching for it as if it were still in my pocket.
Come on Kace, Focus. I came out here to clear my mind, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Or at least,, that's what I had thought to myself.
But then I saw them.
Or more specifically, I saw her. Tracy. She was walking hand in hand with a handsome looking man (no homo though know what im sayin. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
She looked just the same as I had seen her last, brown hair flowing past her back, that same petulant look her always wore on her face when she was thinking, and even from where I was I could imagine how the corners of her eyes crinkled when she smiled for real. He made her smile for real.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice how close I was getting to them. And as I got closer I realized it wasn't Tracy. But by then I'd already bumped into her in my daze. I quickly turned around to apologize, but before I could even get the words out he had me by the throat. I was even more dazed than before at the sudden attack, and instantly, my eyes met his.
His eyes were blue, dazzlingly blue compared to my honey brown eyes. But right now they were narrow and piercing, zoned in dangerously on me and it made my heart flutter violently in my chest. His face was so close to mine, and with the adrenaline pumping through my veins I noticed every single detail of it. I could feel his breath against my cheek and smell that stupid axe cologne that every man my age seemed to bathe in. And I could feel his unwavering grip on my neck as he lifted me off the ground. I knew my face probably looked ridiculous. I was honestly in awe of this mans strength, and even though I'd never been into guys before I let myself acknowledge the fact that he was a very beautiful man.
"What's your deal man?" he hissed into my ear as he lowered me back down to the ground. In the background I could hear his girlfriend yelling "XAVIER STOP!....."
But she sounded far away.
His grip wasn't letting up at all and I could feel myself starting to lose oxygen. As the world became more and more distant in dark, I only managed to squeak out, "hey...I didn't mean it..."
The last thing I saw was his intense gaze turn to shock, as the world faded to black.
