She woke with a start turning to her side about to speak when she remembered she was alone. "Oh… that's right…" a ragged sigh passed her lips as she took his pillow and clutched it to her chest. She could still smell his sent even after all this time. Before everything went wrong and she lost him all because of one mistake, his jealously and fear. "Oh Mitch…. Why couldn't you have saved me…."
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
A small sob passed her lips as she buried her face into the dark pillow case. Four months; four months she had been left alone and taken. The day he left she left to drown her woes, but it had been the biggest mistake of her life. She rested a hand on her abdomen wishing not for the first time that the baby had have been his, that it was his little boy.
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
One hundred days… it seemed a life time ago since she held him. Felt his cool touch when she was sick. His loving hands helping her with her school work, teaching her more than she had ever known. He was supposed to be her first, and only. It seemed that it was never meant to be. She closed her eyes and imagined it was his she was holding, he was there to comfort her, dry her tears.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
She forced herself to put his pillow back as she stumbled out of bed to get dressed. She remembered, her mother screaming at her, like it was her fault she was… pregnant. She didn't know until it was too late. But she knew even then she couldn't end an innocent's life just because of how they were created.
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, its only you and me
She finished getting dressed and picked up a picture frame with a drawing of her and Mitchell together. It was black and white, fitting into a 10x7 frame, Mitchell also had a copy, but last she saw of that one it was torn up in front of her eyes. She kissed the frame before gently setting it back on the nightstand. "I still love you Mitch…" she then grabbed her wallet and phone, placing them in her pockets and left, her burgundy hanging freely to her lower back as she walked out her flats front door.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
She went for her daily walk, sunglasses on, even though there was very little sunlight due to the cloud cover. The glasses also hid the dark rings under her eyes, as well as their redness from crying and lack of sleep. The park was small but had lots of tree cover. There under a willow was her favorite bench. It was the place Mitchell had officially asked her to be his girlfriend. She glanced down at her left ring finger. There was her grandmother's wedding ring. She had given to her when she found out about the baby. It kept most away from her.
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, its only you and me
She pulled out her headphones out of her pocket and sat down on the bench playing 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down, crying silently all the while. She felt eyes on her and looked around. Not but a few yards away was Mitchell, his face blank, but she could see the heart break in his eyes. That was all it took for her to finally break. She was ashamed for the first time in her life. Ashamed of herself. Ashamed of Coriander.
"Mitch… I…. I'm so sorry…"
A.N. Let me know! What you think?
