I focus on the waves crashing onto the sand. Everytime I make a new footprint in the sand,the wave comes and washes it away. It's like it was never there. I wish memories could be wiped away like that. It would make things a lot less difficult,that's for sure. Imagine forgetting something that has been haunting you for years…a secret you've been keeping,knowing it could never be told…
My thoughts are interrupted by the jingling of…keys? I turn around,only to see James approaching me. "I knew I'd find you here," he says,putting his keys in his back pocket. I fold my arms,"I have nothing to say to you. At least not yet,anyway." I turn my back towards him,facing the sea once again. "Well,that's not what I heard," he responds,standing next to me.
I try to ignore him,which only causes him to talk more,"Don't be like this,Elle. I just wanna talk."
I start getting furious, "Oh,now you wanna talk,huh? I've only sent you a million messages in the past month with you leaving me on read,wondering what the hell I've done wrong,just hoping you're okay…"
He interrupts me, "I'm sorry that I'm not perfect, Elle. I'm sorry I'm not Mr Hotshot,I'm sorry I'm not Andrew…"
"I didn't need you to be! I…."
He interrupts me again,"Then what do you want?!"
"I wanted YOU,damn it! I needed YOU and you weren't there for me! Just because I kissed some guy?"
"If you hate me this much,I guess I should just leave!" He says furiously.
"Yeah,well why didn't you?!" I scream.
"Because I fell in love with you!"
