Eleven

The next week went by fast. I spent all my time with Colin or at work. We were getting closer every day, never leaving each other's side, except for brief moments. We spent many of those nights at the pub in Atlantic City. It made him feel like he was closer to home. He felt a little homesick and missed his family, and I sensed his rising excitement to be heading back to see them soon. He teased me constantly that he was going to steal me. He didn't want to leave me behind.

We always ended up back at my apartment, as his was crowded and constantly loud. We stayed in my room, talking, enjoying each other, yet he never once pressured me to do anything I didn't want to do. He was a breath of fresh air compared to Nick. This is what love was meant to be like.

It was late, after midnight. It had been nine blissful days of dating. Colin was out for the night, and I was alone. His friends had been ragging him out for not hanging with them more, and since our shifts were different that day, I told him to go out and spend some time with them. He obliged, telling me he would call later in the evening.

The moon wasn't bright enough to light the sky, making it dark on the beach. The clouds covered most of the stars. It was quiet and peaceful. I sat back on the dunes, feeling the cold sand as I wedged my feet underneath. I had been down the shore for over four weeks and had fallen madly in love. So much had happened in such a short period, and I was so new to all of it. I didn't think it could be possible that he was holding onto my heart so completely. I had never met anyone who could make me feel the way that he made me feel. If somehow I spent the rest of my life in Colin Murphy's arms, that would be fine with me. There were a few obstacles to overcome, however, such as college, lifestyle and the most important, geography.

Then again maybe this was it. Only to enjoy him for one brief summer. I wanted to make the most of it, but was painfully afraid to keep going. My heart had never felt this kind of love and despair all at once. It was a struggle. My heart wanted to be with him, but my brain said something else. I didn't think I would be able to take seeing him walk away.

Ireland was far away, too far to make it last. As much as he loved me, he had to go back. He had one more year of college, his family, his entire life. I wanted to beg him to stay, to hold me forever, to never let me go, but I knew I couldn't. It wouldn't be fair. We would try to figure out a way to be together if not now, soon enough, as he promised.
