Moving on is a simple thing,

what it leaves behind is hard.

~ Dave Mustaine

Five weeks later …

Looking out over the calm cool water, I pulled in a breath of fresh air. The smell of honeysuckle and pine tickled my nose, but the sweet smell of summer was tainted by the pain in my chest. I thought I’d already experienced the worst heartbreak of my life, but absolutely nothing compared to the pain of losing Barrett. Walking away from him had been the hardest thing I’d ever done. I think about him constantly. It’s all I ever do.

Every tear.

Every step.

Every breath.

I may have moved everything I owned down south, but I’d left my heart behind.

When I purchased my first home four months ago, it was the smartest and craziest decision I’d ever made. It was just as shocking to me as it was to Maddie, that I decided to settle down here. The A-frame style home had been built in the early seventies, with floor to ceiling windows covering the entire back side, providing a view I would never grow tired of. The sunsets and sunrises alone were worth the price I paid for this prime piece of real estate. The late afternoon sun had just begun dipping below the line of trees surrounding the massive lake, painting the southern sky and the dark water below it with every brilliant color imaginable. I powered on the dock station next to me, selecting Bartender by Lady A. I hit shuffle then went inside to swap out my tea for a glass of red. Moments like this I thought, maybe losing him wouldn’t be so bad after all. I had his memories to keep me company.

Would they ever be enough?

The inside was just as charming as the outside; open floor plan with a massive kitchen and living room. The previous owner had done some recent renovations so almost everything was new. Hardwood floors, cabinets, and appliances. I even splurged on some new furniture, donating most of my old stuff before leaving Boston. It felt good to own my own home. It felt good to take steps towards the future. But it hurt like hell to leave him behind. Walking back out onto the deck, I found my phone vibrating across the glass table.

Maddie.

“Hey, bitch?” I answered.

“What up, hooker?” She always had a way of making me smile, even when I didn’t want to.

“Oh you know, chillin’ while I listen to them ole country songs.”

She chuckled. “So you like the playlist I added, huh?”

“Girl… I love it.” In addition to helping me get settled into my new life and being the best damn friend a girl could ever ask for, Maddie had also given me a house warming gift. Two gifts actually, a vintage bottle of wine and an iPad, along with a speaker dock and every Apple accessory you could possibly think of. She’d loaded it down with a ton of my favorite songs, including a few special playlists like Girls Gone Wild where I could find songs by Katy Perry, Iggy, and Adele.
