I'm glad that I got that letter from school saying I didn't have to go, because I was very upset and distracted.

Visitors came throughout the following weeks. I caught a bus (because i wasn't allowed to drive because my arm is recovering. But VERY slowly.) to Greenrose Park; the place I was going to eat lunch with Ella the day of the accident. I was beyond shocked to see that Ella herself approached me. "Hello," she says coldly. "H-Hi," I stutter. She looks healthy but not-so-happy. "I believe the accident was because of your chaotic driving," she continued. I chuckle, "I don't understand. My fault?"

"Yes,"

"Why do you say that?" I ask.

"I have explained myself," she says, completely ignoring my question. "But-"

"But nothing. You are then sun, and I am the moon; And we must never collide." She says solemnly. Ella spun around and flicked me in the face with her hair in the process. Her final words to me were: "goodbye, Joshua Williams."

I spent the next month in an empty state. I went back to school and as everyone saw me; emotionless.

The truth? I was anything BUT emotionless. I started to get distracted during classes and, when my mid year report came home, I was failing then. I came to the conclusion that the only thing that would fix me is to the old Ella back. My Ella. So every morning and night I text her the same 2 words;

From Josh:

I'm sorry

One miraculous day, she replied.

From Ella:

Josh, meet me at the park at 12. You know which one.

From Josh:

Okay.
