Chapter 7

The meal I had been looking forward to never happened. Instead, I sat up the whole night, whilst I waited for sleep to arrive, but that never happened either. I could feel the seconds dragging passed, as though they had turned into hours. I hadn’t seen James for the entire day. I don’t know if he stayed in his room or whether he’d slipped out, but he’d stayed out of my way.

My brain was still trying to understand what happened. I couldn’t figure out what had changed, but I knew that something had. I knew that something had made James decide to end things and it wasn’t long distance. I kept rerunning the words he had used through in my head, I could hear them being said, as though he was right next to me. I could hear the lies behind them. I knew that it was something I’d done and I just wished he ‘d told me the truth, so that I could have, at least, tried to make it better.

When the sun finally appeared on the skyline, I got up and packed my bags. Liam wasn’t driving me back to the airport, I was getting a cab and I didn’t see any point in waiting around to say goodbye. It wasn’t like James wanted to talk to me anyway.

It didn’t take me long to get all of my stuff together and when I’d pulled it all down the stairs, I picked up the phone and called for the cab. I could hear movement upstairs when I was getting the last bag from the porch and I walked quickly to the cab, so that I’d be gone by the time they made it downstairs.

When I’d sat in the back of the cab, I told the driver that I was going to the airport and sat back, as the car pulled away from the ranch, where I had spent the last nine months of my life. I watched the building getting smaller in the mirror, as the wheels put distance between it and me. I could feel a dull aching in my chest, as I realized that I might never see James again.

I’d realized, as soon, as he’d told me that it was over, that I’d been in love with him. I’d never told him that. It was something, which I wasn’t even sure about until it was too late, but I was deeply in love with him, in a way that I had never experienced before and every mile that was being put between us, felt like a knife being stuck into my back.

I closed my eyes, as the sand spread out around me. There was nothing now until the airport and I let myself drift off, as the car bumping around lulled me to an uneasy sleep. When I eventually woke up, I could hear the cab driver calling out numbers to me and I pushed my eyes open quickly, as I realized we had pulled to a stop.
