My Letter To The Stars

If Time Doesn't Permit

Corinths Pov

It was Shenelle. She kept her eyes focused on him, she leans forward and peeped over her shoulder as though she knew I was there. But how could she?; her eyes then landed on mines and she sucks at his neck. His body swayed and didn't react to her touch.

I walked toward them, I was angered.I pushed her away from him. Causing her to stumble back more than I assumed; and she knocks into a couple that was making out.

"Bitch watch it." The girl said in disgust, as she glared at Shenelle's proud grin.

"Oh please, you're only bugging because you're afraid I'll steal your man." Shenelle bit her lip and grabbed the tall gentleman and consumed his lips; then pushed him back into the wall. As if none of it made any difference.

"See." The girl narrowed her brows and a tear raced down her face." No crying love, that is pretty boring."

The black haired girl ran off and the guy follows suit.

She smiled confidently at me while licking her lips.

"Why do you act like that?" I questioned as I looked into her eyes that stood out in the darkness.

"He tasted good, well they both did." She mocked.

Caleb's drunken frame sliddered down. He seemed pretty unconscious and out of it

"I'm sorry Corinth won't you stay." We're the words that slipped from his mouth before his eyes closed and a tear slidders at the corner of his eyes. My heart hurt to see him like that. Was he unaware of what just occurred?

"You are a horrible person, you know that."

"But at least I'm not a home wrecker." She winked.

"What does that mean?" I asked pulling her forward by her very tight fitting blouse.

"I've already said too much. " she yanked her clothing from my grasp. " touch me again and I'll make your life a living hell."

"Like you haven't already been doing that." I retorted.

"You destroyed mines first." Her eyes that were once bold, melted before me and her eyes got weary.

She took off, stopping to glance back one more time before leaving through the door that marked exit.

"Polaris." Caleb squirmed.

I knelt down beside him. My heart breaking. But was I to just leave him like this?. After everything that had played out tonight.

I fiddled with the chain around my neck and unbuckled it. I wrapped it tightly in my hand and placed it into his pocket.

"You are someone I used to know." I kissed his cheeks goodbye. Then wiped away the tear that streamed down his face.

I dialed in Jess's number.

"Goodnight."she picked up, her voice was groggy, it was certain that she was already sleeping; and I had awoken her.

"Hi, it's Corinth, Caleb is on fifth, in a club and he is passed out, can you come collect him?, I can't stay." I spoke out firmly

"He needs you Corinth." I never answered but swallowed audibly.

"I'm leaving now." I hung up. I looked back at him. I felt my throat go dry and every thing in me wanted to stay by his side. But I was too confused. Too many unanswered questions.

Walking out of the club. The sound was loud and deafening. The people swayed and jumped. Not even reacting to the tears that were streaming down my face. I loved Caleb, but time did not permit us to be together.
