REAGAN
Four Years Ago - Morning After Prom
He grips my arms, pressing his warm lips to my icy cold ones. Immobile with despair, shocked at the words heâs said to me I donât react. I inhale sharply, but I can barely breathe, my brain still questioning if he just broke up with me or not?
He needs to focus on fighting. Thanks for being so understanding.
I want to shout, but Iâm numb. I donât understand. Why are you doing this to us? To me? I want to rage, kick and scream, but I canât. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth and thereâs a lump the size of a golf ball in the back of my throat. A tornado of questions are whirling around in my head.
He hands me my backpack and I reflexively reach for it, but my reactions are robotic. This moment feels surreal, like Iâm an outsider looking in. Am I having an out of body experience? My thoughts are a jumbled mess and I canât make order of anything thatâs happened in the last five minutes.
Silently, I watch him back out of the driveway without a single look in my direction. Once heâs out of sight, I let the tears flow. They pour down my cheeks in a continuous stream as I fumble through the keyring, searching for the correct one. My shaking hands are uncoordinated, my panic is escalating and when the door finally opens I crash through the opening. Slamming it behind me, sobbing, I drop my backpack to the floor with a dull thud and stumble over to the couch. Throwing myself down on the soft cushions, I draw my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around my waist.
I canât believe he broke up with me. Where did this come from? We were perfect ten minutes ago. Not once did he ever give me any indication that he wasnât happy with our relationship. What went wrong? Did I disappoint him last night? Oh god, I hope that wasnât it.
Two hours of tears later, and I donât feel any better. I donât have any more answers either. I tried calling Noah and he didnât answer. I switched to texts thinking he might be more willing to answer me there, but theyâve all gone without a reply.
âForget about him. Heâs an asshole that doesnât deserve you,â Moira states. âYou wasted six months on him, donât waste a second more.â
âThanks for the reminder.â I say, shaking my head. âNo matter what, it wasnât wasted. I love him, Moira. Iâm always going to love him.â
âNo, no, no. You need to stop thinking like this. Heâs nothing to you. Make him insignificant in your mind and heâll become insignificant in your heart. Thatâs what I did with Harry Newton.â
âMoira, you dated him for like a week. This is hardly the same thing. Besides, my heart leads me where it will. My brain just takes some time to play catch up.â
