Beth held out the necklace and smiled. "So you can always have a small reminder of me, and no one will notice." She said. Alison grabbed it very delicately. "I love it already." She whispered, her breath tight as she looked it over. It was a simple necklace, that would seem very traditional. Alison felt tears forming, as she looked at Beth. "I love you so much, Beth." "Alison, pay attention!" The voice snapped, releasing Alison from memories she was trying to hide. Instinctively she held her necklace, messing with the small cross. It was all that was left of her. "Sorry!" She said, it was slightly out of character for her to say that. "Now, as I was saying who's turn is it to host potluck?" Ansley asked. Alison looked at her phone pretending to receive a message. "Can we do this later? I need to go help my mother with something." Alison grabbed her things and left while Ansley tried to convince her to stay. She got into her car and drove out to the shooting range. She got out of the car and walked to where it seemed like only yesterday Beth taught her to shoot. She remembered Beth's hands on her hips as she showed her how to stand. She remembered their first kiss, and the ones after that. The day when they first made love in a hotel, like teenagers, both lost in each other, wanting to be closer and to explore every part of the other woman's body. She sat on the ground and removed her necklace. She placed it on her lap. "Beth I hope you're happier now. Where ever you are." She said before collapsing into tears. Her cries echoed and she once again grabbed her necklace. She fumbled with the clasp for a second before putting it on. She called Beth's, well Sarah's number. Don't pick up I need to hear her voice, all I want. She prayed. "Alison I thought you had some dumb thing this afternoon." Sarah answered. "I left." "Do you need to talk to Felix or something?" Sarah sounded bored. Alison took a deep breath. "I wanted to hear Beth's voicemail. I miss her." Alison said. She could feel a lump forming. "Bloody hell Ali, -" Sarah was interrupted." "Don't call me that. I have to go." Alison hung up and walked over to her car. She stood outside of the door for a moment before kicking it. She opened the door and slammed it shut. Memories of Beth calling her Ali ran through her head. She put her head against the steering wheel for a minute before starting to drive home. She stopped driving a second later. Alison stepped out of the vehicle and screamed. "FUCK YOU BETH. FUCK YOU. YOU LEFT ME YOU BITCH. YOU FUCKING BITCH." She started to cry. "Why can't I stop loving you?" She held her necklace, the thing that made her feel safe and close to Beth again. The only thing.
