Newark Airport

Monday

Marc

I was going to break up with her.

That I had to skip two classes to sneak around with her for a few hours, only to drop her off back here at the airport instead of at her house, made me see that what we were doing, what we were trying to do, wasn’t going to work.

This wasn’t a real thing. This was some clandestine fucking and late-night calls, and it had to end. For both our sakes. Ash had to go to school, she had to finish growing up, she had to—

I stopped myself because the thought hurt. But I couldn’t look away from the hard truth.

She had to fuck some other guy.

I couldn’t be what she needed. I’d already told her that. I wasn’t going to be someone who would profess love and forever after. I was an asshole most of the time, and an asshole to her almost all the time, and, in the months since we’d been together in Florida, it was becoming harder to see how this would end well.

I parked the car, and walked into the airport with a sense of determination. But as soon as the sliding doors closed behind me, I was reminded of the time I’d dropped her off to go to Switzerland.

How strange it had felt then to finally acknowledge she was important to me. To have this feeling like I was putting my right arm on a plane and sending it across an ocean.

She wasn’t any less important to me right now. Breaking up with her wasn’t about who she was to me. She’d would always be Ash.

Breaking up with her was about removing both of us from a situation that had no good ending. I was doing this for her because I knew it made sense.

I hadn’t seen her since December. Just the calls and texts. I wasn’t a fan of video chatting because I thought it was stupid. We knew what the other looked like, what was the point?

So I was nervous. Nervous about what I would say, how she would react. Nervous, too, I might fall on my knees in front of her and ask her to run away with me.

“Marc.”

I turned, and she was there. Walking towards me. Her wispy blond hair tied in a ponytail, her eyes so big and blue they hurt me. I didn’t think. I just opened my arms and she ran into me. Almost knocking us over.

Immediately, she started crying into my chest. Deep, heaving sobs I feared would trigger an asthma attack.

“Calm down, Ash. Breathe. Easy in, and out. In and out.”

“I’m sorry,” she hiccupped, working to catch her breath. “I just know...”

“What do you know?”

What could she possibly know? She thought we were going to hang out for a few hours. That I was going to fuck her and kiss her, then send her on her way. She had no idea I was going to end this.

End us.

“We need to break up,” she said, taking a step back, using her shirt sleeves to wipe the tears from her eyes.
