Reasons

Tegan stayed up all night with me. She was still worried. And though I didn’t fully understand why it had hurt in the first place, my face didn’t hurt anymore. She sat on my bed, telling me stories, and I sat in the window, watching my shadow stalker. It was there again—despite the icy rain, it sat, watching me. I wasn’t listening to her. The voice in my head drowned out her voice.

I could feel the depths of Grey’s sorrow, and it weighed down my mind. Making everything around me seem murky. Why couldn’t he see the only way we could heal was together? He had his reasons for not being with me, and I had mine for not telling him the truth about his mother. At least I think I had reasons. As much as I kept telling myself I wasn’t mad, I knew I was. But lying to everyone else worked, so I figured I might as well lie to myself. Unfortunately, it wasn’t working.

I was left here calling out his name, yearning for his love. Missing the soft feeling of his lips on mine. The agony of losing him crushed my heart. Each breath I took felt as though I were drowning in sadness, desperately clawing for the surface, only to suffocate from the poison of fear. I was trapped in anguish. I wanted to close my eyes and give in to the pain. I wished I could let him go, but I didn’t believe I had lost Grey for good. No matter how hard this lie pulled us apart, I was destined for him. He was my love.

“Ashie!” Tegan said. She looked angry; she must have asked me something. I wasn’t being a good friend to her, but I just couldn’t keep my mind straight.

“Sorry,” I said.

“It’s morning.”

I looked out the window at the sunrise. “So it is.”

I sorted through my clothes and put on jeans and a black sweater. I pulled my hair up into a high ponytail, smoothing it to the tail, where it exploded in a puff of red hair. I just wanted to survive the day and not have to think about Grey, but his face was burned into my memory. Without a word, I walked out to my Mustang and drove to school. I knew Mund was surely following me, but I didn’t look. I didn’t need to. He would never make that mistake again.

I didn’t bother walking to my locker, since I knew Ryan would be there. I was in no mood to smile and play nice. I wanted to break something and yell and scream and punch Grey right in his perfect jaw, but that would only hurt me. It was a cruel irony.

I continued down the hall. I felt like a hollow carcass with no will to survive. I walked into my first class of the day. The room was still dark and empty, but I didn’t bother turning on the lights; I welcomed the darkness. I sat in the back of the room, alone.
