So many things are being left unsaid. I know what I want to say, but as I open my mouth, the words refuse to come.
A single tear makes it's path down my face. A gentle touch wipes it away. The most beautiful creature I have ever met is standing right in front of me and I can't even tell her how much I'm going to miss her. How much I love her. How she is the only person I have ever cared about. We just spend our last moments together in silence.
"Well I guess this is it Cooper"
"Yah…. I guess it is," I say struggling to keep my words constant.
"Have a good life, Chad Dylan" she said her eyes conveying the truth in her words.
"Yah, you too Monroe"
And just like that, she walks out, walks out on me, on the life we could have together, on everything. She does not look back. And I just stand there, paralyzed.
I drive home in a daze. Condor studios is closing and I still can't believe it. I can't believe that Sonny, the only light in my pretty playboy life, isn't going to be there everyday anymore.
I pull over as I try to convince myself I don't need her. I'm CHAD DYLAN COOPER for goodness sake. I've never needed anyone. I don't need her. I don't need Sonny Monroe in my perfect life.
Yet, through it all my heart cries.
No Chad you need her. You need her a lot.
