Chapter 20

Seth

We ride out to a small burger joint just on the outskirts of town. The sun has set and the night sky is cool and feels good against my tired skin. We park our bikes and take our food over to a picnic table that faces the road.

We watch as cars pass by, all heading out to the county fair. I bite into my burger and almost moan out loud. Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve eaten all day. I have been so caught up in working, I guess I forget to eat.

I see a familiar car pull up near us and I feel like I am going to puke. A familiar head of blonde hair fills my vision and I know it is Grace, Mia’s best friend.

Grace is talking and all I can see is the side of her face.

My eyes instantly travel to the passenger side of the car and as much as I know I shouldn’t, I can’t seem to take my eyes off the car. From where I am sitting, I can’t see the passenger yet. I wait for a glimpse of that delicious chocolate brown hair.

Brody notices me staring and his eyes travel to where I am looking. I see him shake his head as a look of panic crosses his features.

I haven’t seen Mia since the day she left me. I don’t know if I can do this.

“Maybe we should just go,” Brody offers, standing.

I’m frozen in place and unable to react or respond. It’s like I can’t function until I see her. Maybe just a glimpse will suffice for a while.

Grace pulls her car up a bit, the line is now extending far down the road as people wait to get onto the fairgrounds. Her window is slightly open and the light sound of music rolls out. I can hear Grace’s voice and I just wait, my heart refusing to beat as I wait.

Then, I hear it.

That sultry laugh that could make me smile every time. My heart feels like it is going to explode as I finally get a glimpse of the girl who shattered my heart, but still holds all of the pieces.

Then, I see her face. That beautiful face that still haunts my mind every damn day.

“Seth, come on. Let’s just go,” Brody says again, this time he grabs his helmet off the table.

“No, I just need to look at her,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Don’t do this to yourself,” Brody says, and I hear the concern in his voice.

Mia throws her head back as she slumps down in the seat. Something about her movements causes alarm in me. If I didn’t know better, she almost looks upset. I lean over, placing my hands on my knees as I watch her. She’s smiling, but that normal glow that usually radiates around her is gone. Her emerald green eyes seem darker for some reason and a part of me wants to run over to the car and beg her to tell me what’s wrong.
