The banging of a suitcase coming down the stairs shakes me from the flashback. I’m still standing in the same spot, leaning against the counter in the kitchen, when Jaylinn stops at the bottom of the stairs and leans her suitcase against the table in the hallway by the front door.

My face is wet as I recall that night I’ll never forget. I wipe my eyes with the back of my hand. I know what’s coming. I feel it in my bones, a coldness taking over and seeping into my veins like ice water.

Jaylinn walks back into the kitchen and stands in front of me. She looks down to her hands for a second before she looks up at me. My heart stops as Jaylinn slides the ring off and holds it out for me to take.

I shake my head no and tuck my hands in my pockets. I’m not taking that ring.

She looks down to the ring between her fingers, and then clutches it in her fist. She stands up on her tiptoes and kisses my cheek.

I take my hands out of my pockets and try to reach for her hips but before I’m able to grab a hold of her she backs away, her eyes full of sadness for her, for me, for us. I see it then, she wants this to work so badly but I’m holding her back. It’s right there in the tears she’s shedding and the way she can’t look at me now.

“Jay,” I plead, knowing if I could get her to look at me then I might have a chance to change her mind, one last chance.

She shakes her head back and forth quickly, her eyes on the ground. “This is me being brave and fearless.”

I watch as she walks down the hallway. She stops in front of the table and looks back over to me. “I can’t keep this. It hurts too much.” She says as she places the ring on the table and then grabs the handle of her suitcase and walks out the front door, taking a huge chunk of my heart that I know I’ll never get back.

The door shuts and I go crazy because I know what I’ve lost.

“Fuck!” I say as my fist connects with the wall. The outburst offers me nothing in the sense of relief; it only reminds me of what just walked out. I hit a few more things and nothing helps, it only makes me angrier.

I know one thing for sure; I need to get out of this house. I need to forget this and get out of my own head.

This is what’s best for us. She needs to find a guy that will be able to give her the world and not be stuck in the past. She deserves much more then I can give her. She’s right, I am stuck in the past so what else could I give her? I couldn’t possibly give her a future.

Right?
