The loud noises of cars passing by brought me back to reality, as I was remembring the night I met Julian and how I felt the connection in every fiber of my being, but I was too much of a coward to actually admit it to myself and  do something about it instead of running away from him.

I reached a stop sign. Looking at the road ahead, I began to feel the tears falling down my face. I didnt want to cry, but the pain was too much. I couldnt handle it.

His face, his smile, his laugh, the way he looked at me, his sweet touch, the way he made feel, the way I  fell in love with him. The memories were like knives cutting at my heart. Everything about him made me weak. I miss him. But its too late now, I wont go back, I wont back down.

The song: "undone" by Haley Reinhart came on the radio.  Just hearing the lyrics made me cry even harder. I couldnt see through the tears, and I felt myself shaking a little.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, turned off the radio, wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and  just stared at myself in the rear-view mirror. I slowly found myself drifiting away, back to when I saw him again.

*Flashback*

It was 3 weeks after the night we met, I felt really bad about the way I left things. I could've handled things so much better. I wish I gave him my number or asked for his. And the worst part was that I kept thinking about him. I couldnt get him out of my mind. I felt kind of stupid though, I mean I only knew his name, I knew absolutely nothing about him. He could be a serial killer or mass murderer, but I was dying to see him again.

"Oh my god, your daydreaming about that hottie from the club again arent you?" Ellla whispered to me while she was eating her tuna sandwich.

 We just went out to get lunch. I glanced at her and then at my untouched salad saying nothing, I was daydreaming about him. I cant get his stupid face out of my stupid mind. Gosh Im so stupid. I barely knew the guy. This is so unlike me. 

We were leaving the resturant. Ella was telling me about her plans for the evening, when something caught my eye across the street. It was a guy, he was wearing a dark grey suit and was getting into his car while talking on the phone. He looked up and as soon as I saw his face, I froze, it was him. Julian right there in front of me.

 My memory didnt do him any justice, because he was way more handsome than i remember. GOSH, what should I do? should I go over there and talk to him? or should I wait for him to come talk to me?.        I felt my heart pounding fast and my mouth go dry. I couldnt move.

And then he saw me. I smiled and waved and he just stared at me, and I stared back. We locked eyes for what seemed like forever, and then without saying a word or even waving, he got in his car, and just like that, he was gone.

" HELLO!!! Cece, who the hell was that?" Ella said, waving her hand in front of my face to get my attention, clearly annoyed that I was not listening to whatever she was saying.

" That was him, the guy from the club, Julian" I whispered explaining but still not moving a muscle.

"That was him? boy you werent exaggerating when you said he was one sexy good looking son of a bitch. No wonder your drolling" she laughed. " But wait why didnt you go over there and ask for his number?" she frowned.

" I dont know, as soon as I saw him, I couldnt move, I froze" I said and kept staring at nothing.

"I wonder why he didnt say anything to you, maybe he didnt see you" she said trying to make me feel better.

"No he did see me, didnt you see him staring at me?" I said in a high voice.

"Hm maybe he doesnt remember you. Now lets get back to the office before Mr. boss fires both of our asses" she said and dragged me back to the office.
