I Promise to Do Better

Julian

I’ve been to the hospital every day before and after work for the past week. Watching her go in and out of awareness, it pisses me off that there’s a possibility that the time we’ve spent together has been wiped away forever. Wiped away because she’s a pawn in a stupid game between Chris and Daniel, I should’ve never left her alone with them.

From day one I thought she was special, her shy demeanor but sharp tongue did things to me. I always spent my time in the shadows, hiding from the light. Darkness is where I roamed and I liked it that way, that was until I met her. She changed me and when she left, I went through a very… how can I put this and still look like the good guy? A time of forlornness. Everyone paid for the emptiness I felt. I found the only outlet was causing pain to women who slightly reminded me of her, worked to keep my demons at bay.

I remember the day she left, it burns a hole in my chest every time I think of it.

“Jules, are you sure I should go? Isn’t that against the rules?” Tara asked, worried the guys from my graduating class wouldn’t like her. WHO WOULDN’T? She’s perfect!

“Baby, you’re fine. I think I’ve talked about you so much, this is just to make sure you’re real” I say, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her into me. She playfully hits me, falling into my lap.

This is my happy place. Impossible, I know. A guy who's spent the better part of his teenage years beating the shit out of people for sport has a happy place that isn’t dark and gloomy. Her smile lights up the room no matter how dark, She’s the Persephone to my Hades. Bringing her into my darkness, letting her see me for who I am, the light she brought with her changed the atmosphere.

“Jules, you’re weird. I’m not that special, I’m just really good at making you smores”

“Yep! And they’re the best when you melt it between those thick thighs of yours, put your shoes on or we’ll be late.”

“Ok, ok, ok.” She says, skipping towards the door and picking up her shoes on the way out. My phone starts to violently vibrate my pocket, I choose to ignore it. I should’ve checked it before we arrived.

***

Walking through the door of the bar, I spot the guys. I usher her to the table and she’s bombarded with questions, mostly about me and why she’s with me. All in good fun, I was having a great night. Then my phone started again, I checked it. The screen flashes an unknown number and I excuse myself to take the call.

“Hello,” I say, stepping into the crisp spring air. The music from the bar is so loud, that I wander down the street to hear the caller better. “Hello, I can barely hear you” I repeat, trying to take the call.
