The drive from West to North London was frustrating, I was running late. And I didn’t want to make Jake wait for me again. I had no intention of wasting a minute of our time alone.

God, where has it gone already?

It felt like it had been just yesterday that he’d kissed me on his porch and at the same time so much had happened between us that it felt like a lot longer. It seemed almost silly to feel some of the things I was, considering we’d only been sleeping together a little under two months. But the more time we spent together, the more time I wanted with him.

Not just time, I wanted moments. I wanted more memories like the bench. Memories that would make me smile and give me perspective.

I smiled in the mirror as I rubbed my lips together, spreading my light mauve gloss evenly on them.

I was getting better at this rushing around business, after he’d given me an hour last time I’d sworn I would never run around like a headless chicken again, but for him, I would.

I sprayed some perfume on whilst I gave myself a final glance in the mirror. I smoothed down my little black tea dress before I looked through my jewellery box in search of a simple gold thread and bracelet.

I needed something that would add a bit of intrigue to my otherwise very black attire. I knew exactly where the necklace I was looking for was, except that it wasn’t there. I began taking the bigger pieces out of the bottom tray, and then I found it. The one necklace I did not want to find.

I pulled it out and smoothed my fingers over the sunflower and blackbird pendants. I still remembered the day Phillip had given it to me. It was our first Christmas as a couple. A couple of naïve and unexpecting youngsters who thought they had all the time in the world. Their whole lives ahead of them. We knew nothing of what life had in store for us.

Looking back now, I knew Phillip and I never really stood a chance because I had no idea what it was like to swim for our lives. To really kick my legs and scoop my arms.

Whenever things got tough he went his way and instead of me going mine, I stalled. I waited for him to come back. I waited for him to realise that I was there. When he did realise, it was too late. For me. For him. For us.

It was too late and he was gone.

I had been a gullible young girl with rose tinted glasses and too little experience to know that I was in over my head.

I dropped the necklace back inside the box carefully, and of course, I found the one I wanted right where I thought it was in the first place.

My chest felt like it was being squeezed to the point it was sore. My throat felt swollen and the air I was trying to suck in thick.
