Something To Forget

I couldn't believe how my heart raced every time Caleb looked at me. His forest green eyes lit up a spark that drew me in like a moth to a flame. Was it even possible to love another human being this much?

One evening, we were lying on the moistened grass in the park surrounded by the chirping of crickets. Caleb's hand found mine as we looked up into the sky, sending a jolt of electricity through me. My breath caught in my throat, causing me to cough. Caleb chuckled softly, the sound like music to my ears. "You're so beautiful, Avery," he whispered, his like a gentle breeze. I turned my head slowly to the side, leading my eyes into his. I blushed, feeling a rush of warmth spread across my cheeks. "Stop it, Caleb." You're making me blush."

We both sat up with our hands supporting our upper bodies. He leaned in closer, his breath tickling my ear. "I can't help it. You're irresistible."

As we sat there, the moon casting a soft glow on our faces, I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. But at that moment, with Caleb by my side, all my doubts melted away, and I allowed myself to get lost in the sweetness of his laughter and the melody of his hums. Little did I know, danger lurking just around the corner. Making my now perfect life, a living hell that no one should be able to go through.
