Disclaimer: The story is mine. The characters are not.
AN: This story popped into my head while I was listening to GNR's "November Rain" and I had to write it down. It's a standalone.
~*~*~*~*~
I sat up in my bed, thinking of him. The him that left me for no apparent reason, the him that treated me like dirt. The him that I love. The him that, in his own odd way, loves me back.
Suddenly, I felt the cool night breeze dance against my bare shoulder. I never left my window open at night. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone lurking in the shadows, but I wasn't afraid. I knew exactly who it was.
"Why did you leave me, Jess? What did I do wrong?" My voice was cracking and barely above a whisper, but it was amplified by the deafening silence engulfing the night air.
He crept out of the shadows. His eyes were red and watery. "You didn't do anything wrong." He walked over and pulled me into an embrace. I sobbed into his shoulder.
"Why did you leave me?" My question was muffled by his shoulder and my sobs, but he heard it.
He pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Why does anyone leave? I wasn't ready. It scared me how much I love you. I pushed you away to break us apart. I'm sorry."
I brushed my lips against his. " I love you. Can we just stay like this forever?"
"You know I can't stay." His eyes were tormented with useless regrets.
"Why not? What's stopping us?" He wiped the tears away from may face with his rough thumb.
"Everything. I'm supposed to be here, not really."
He kissed me softly for a second and then pulled away. "I'll come back for you, Rory. Don't ever forget that."
With those parting words he slipped out the window, into the chilled night air and out of my life.
I woke up to a tear stained pillow, sat up, and shivered as I felt the cold morning air drift in. I never left the window open at night. A copy of Oliver Twist rested on my night stand, the one that he stole, the one that I hadn't seen in months.
Nights like this were just too real. Nights like this stopped me from moving on. Nights like this gave me hope.
~*~*~*~*~*~
So what did you think? I wrote this story in about five minutes so bare with me. =)
