Flashback
I sat in our usual spot waiting for Eli to show up. He called earlier and said he to tell me something. I agreed to come from two reasons, one I haven't seen him since our two year anniversary and two because I was pregnant. I sat in my seat trying to figure out how I was going to tell him. After a while I still didn't come up with anything. I looked at the door and saw Eli walk through the door. He looked really nervous and that scared me because I was suppose to be nervous not him. He sat down across from me and was looking at his hands. After a few seconds he spoke.
"Clare" he said
"Yes"
He moved his eyes from his hands to my face.
"I'm breaking up with you"
I sat there letting it sink in
"Did I do something and don't say it's me not you either" I said with tears welling up in my eyes
He opened his mouth then closed it. I now had a single tear fall, I got up and put my jacket on and started to walk to the door.
"Clare, wait"
I ignored him and kept walking until he grabbed my wrist I turned a faced him
"Clearly you don't love me so just let me go and leave me alone"
He let me go and I walked into the raining night hoping to never have to see him again.
Present time
I woke up squinting at the sun that was shining through my window. I sit up slowly rubbing my eyes. I finally get up like five minutes later to take my shower. Then got dressed for work then I headed to my sons room. The walls were black- his favorite color- with picture of me and him and my parents. I sat on my seven year old son bed and began to shake him so he could get ready for school.
"Elliot wake up"
He pulled the cover over his head
"Come on El please?"
He sighed and took the cover off his head and sat up and kissed me on the cheek
"Morning mom" he said as he got out of his bed and walked to the door
"Morning, take a shower, brush your teeth and put on CLEAN clothes" I said "Oh and what do you want for breakfast?"
"A brown sugar poptart please" he said as he walked into his bathroom
I went downstairs and put his poptart on the counter and then made myself some hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was like my coffee when I didn't have tea. 'Reminder to self: Get tea after work'
About 30 minutes later Elliot came running downstairs grabbing his poptart off the counter
"Mom come on before I'm late for school" he said
I laughed and grabbed my hot chocolate and followed him outside.
I drive him to school not that we live far from his school it's just kids have been going missing more and more every year. He doesn't mind that I drive him. We pull up and he jumps out and starts running to the school
"El" I yelled
He stopped and turned around
"Please don't argue with your teacher"
He smirked and my heart stopped. He looked just like Eli and it broke my heart.
"I'll try momma"
I rolled my window up when he went inside and I started to drive to work. My mind was on Eli.
'I wonder how he is doing. I wonder if he misses me because I miss him'
I pulled into my parking spot and sat there
"I got to let him go it's been seven years" I said out loud to myself.
I got out my car and walked into the building and got into the open elevator and pressed ten. The elevator music was so generic and boring. I got off the elevator and looked at my door to my office it said Editor.
I am an editor at Keni's books (I used my name) we publish young adult and adult romance novels. I stopped in front of my secretary's desk.
"Any messages Ashley?"
She smiled and nodded her head "Yes, according to Boss man you have a meeting with an author who is trying to get their book published. It's a copy on your desk for you to look at. His name isn't on there and boss man didn't tell me his name but, he should be here in five minutes."
I nodded and walked in my office leaving my door halfway open. I sat down and open the booklet to the first page and read the first line.
Her eyes are the blues blue like the ocean. At first it's like sitting in water the longer you stare you start to drown. I wish I could stare and drown in her eyes forever.
I smiled when I read this. I opened my drawer so I could find a notepad so I could write down his information and give it to boss man.
"Ms. Edwards he is here" said Ashley
"Let him in" I said still looking for the notepad
I finally find one and I sit up and I opened my mouth to say hi but, it wouldn't come out because I was in shock. Standing before me was a man wearing black jeans, a black shirt and a blue button down shirt.
I couldn't believe Eli was standing in front of me.
I am having a little writers block for lonely and decided to write this if you want more then press that review button and REVIEW!
Until next time cuties
