Hi everyone! This is my first ever fanfiction so tell me what you think! But that's only if you want to :) Enjoy!
Parks POV
I stare at her. After all this time, here she is, standing in front of me with the same eyes that I will never forget. With the same red hair I saw everywhere when she left. The same freckles that cover the face I have waited a year to see. The same Eleanor. My Eleanor.
When I got the postcard, all I could think about from that point was her. I thought about all the pain she had put me through in the past year and what it felt like to see her go into that house and never look back. To see her leave me, to abandon me. I remembered seeing her in all of our favourite places, of all the songs I stopped listening to because they all held a memory of her. I remembered what it felt like to nearly kick shit out of her step-dad - at least one good memory. I remembered prom, and how it had felt to go with another girl. To go with the wrong girl!
However, all of these thoughts slip away as soon as my eyes find her. They are replaced with memories of the first, and only girl I have ever loved. Memories about the times we spent together, her ridiculous clothes that made her look like the piece of art she was, sharing comics on the bus and making mix tapes just for her. Everything which I tried to put behind me, now comes flooding back. It's like she is a key and has unlocked all of my memories.
"Park" is all she says before she runs over. I can already see the tears running down her face, not knowing if they are from happiness, sadness or maybe even both.
I don't know how it got to this point. I don't understand. But I don't really care. All I care about is the girl standing in front of me, the girl that I thought was lost to me. The girl who is not only the key to my memories, but the key to my heart.
