Memories flooded my mind of the day I left, I shook my head trying to clear the thoughts but they took over. In a second, I was standing in my old room, reliving the day I walked out.
"Wait, I don't understand. You're leaving? You're just going to disappear?" Ashton asked, his voice wavering. "Ash, I don't have a choice. I have to go! This is my chance to get out of here. I know you don't like it or even understand it, but I have to do this."
He shook his head, his golden brown curls falling in a clump over his face."Fine, then I'm going with you." He stated simply, like it was the obvious solution. "Ash, you can't. You have to stay here with your brother and your mom. You can't just leave them." I said.
His eyes were wet with tears, and his voice broke when he spoke after a minute of silence.
"Why are you doing this?" I felt my heary clench at his words. Part of me wanted to just dump out my suitcase and tell him it was just some joke. However, I knew that if I didn't leave now I would be stuck here forever, never getting to see the world. So, instead of answering his question, I hugged his neck and kissed his cheek. Then I grabbed my bags and loaded up into the car parked outside . I drove away, careful not to look at the boy on the porch who was watching me with pleading eyes, praying for me to turn the car around.
That was the last time I saw the boy that had been my best friend since we were in kindergarten, My first real crush and the only boy I had ever loved. I was only 17 the day I left. I never explained why I was leaving to him, because I knew my reasons wouldn't matter. I knew that if I told him, he would've tried to save me, to stop me from running away. But, running away from my problems was the only thing I was good at.
Now I'm 23, living on my own in an apartment in New York, and attending classes at a small community college, just down the street. I only tried to go back home once, but I didn't see Ashton. I told myself it was because I didn't want to upset him, but in reality, I was just scared. I was scared by how much I loved him, but also because maybe I'm just too complicated for anyone to love. So I did what I do best: I ran, and I never looked back.
