Isaac

I know I'm a blind man and all and of course I can't see my ex-girlfriend off ( I guess that's what I'm supposed to call her now) but I still go too the airport that day. They day she leaves everything behind. At first I was angry. Angry that she decided to drop everything here and only tell me at the very last moment. But then I figured she was trying to forget everything. Run away from everything here and try to start a life for herself. I get that. I really do. But sometimes to start over you need a little help from someone. I understand what she's trying to do but I don't have to like it.

Everyone was moving around. Talking, laughing, crying. But all I could focus on was her voice. Saying her goodbyes to her parents. I was hoping she wouldn't see me. My mom stood next to me. I had my back facing her voice. I imagined her turning towards the gate and leaving everything behind. And then I imagined her stopping and turning around to scan the crowd. I froze. I could practically feel her eyes passing over me. I could imagine her disappointment when she realized the person she was looking for was not there. I relaxed and sighed in relief.

I imagined her walking away toward the plane that would take her exactly 659 miles away from me. It wasn't far but to me it seemed like she was worlds apart from home. Worlds apart from me. My heart already ached for her. I longed to hear her voice. To feel her lips against mine. To have her touch my face and feel her hands pull me in for another kiss. I ha thought about actually saying goodbye to her but her words had kept ringing in my head. 'I can't do this anymore. I can't.'

I shook my head. Oh get over yourself. She's gone. It's done and over with. Move on.

"Let's go home." I said to my mom.

Kaitlyn

It's been four months since I left. I like the summer program. The people were... nice enough. I can't explain it. Everything seems different compared to home. Maybe it's the fact that I don't talk to Isaac every day like I used to. I missed him. I've thought about sending him an email just to say hi but I always stopped myself before I could. I can't do that to him. I can't just drop out of his life and then come back and pretend everything is normal.

"Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn? Kaitlyn!" I shook myself awake.

"What?"

"Are you listening?" I nodded.

"Course I am." Abigail rolled her eyes. Abigail is my dorm mate and one of the girls in my fashion class. She was okay. A little bitchy at times but okay.

"Get your head out of the clouds girl. We like really need to like finish this project!" Zoe said. Zoe is in my fashion class as well and if you haven't noticed she kinda talks like a thirteen year old girl. She can't say a sentence without adding the word 'like' into it. It annoys the hell out of me.

"Sorry." I mumbled.

"Stop fucking apologizing and get to work!" Sadie said. Another girl in my class and also a major bitch. She swears like a sailor and she's rude to everyone. It's the start of the fall semester and we've already received our first group project. Create an outfit together in a team of four. Unfortunately I got stuck with these three.

"How about we put like a ton of sequins on the sleeves. That would... like look amazing!" Zoe said with a stupid grin on her face. Zoe has stringy greasy brown hair that she pulls back into a messy bun at the back of her head. She's wearing clothes that are ten times to big for her. Sadie is wearing a complete camo print outfit and and Abigail is wearing something that looks like she stole from a prostitute from the New York streets. Not exactly fashion school material.

I was bored out of my mind. For eight years it's been my dream to come here and design anything I wanted. It was my fantasy. But I was bored.

"Can we please take a break? My head is starting to pound." I said, rubbing my temples. Sadie rolled her eyes.

"Fine your highness." I glared at her. They were really pissing me off. Zoe and Abigail grab Abigail's laptop and start surfing the internet while Zoe pops open a beer and starts chugging it. Legal drinking age in the states is 21. Zoe just turned 19. Some much for rules.

"Oooh looky looky." Abigail and Zoe start laughing.

"More people dying of cancer." I flinched. Even the sound of that word my chest hurt. Made me think of Hazel... and Isaac.

"Cancer is whack." Zoe said. I wanted to slap them. They started giggling and laughing and saying things 'glad I'm not one of those suckers' or 'people die from that stupid disease every day. Who cares?'

Zoe squeals.

"Ohh look and Angleina Jolie's dress from this awards show!" Seriously? Do they only care about stupid things like that. I was getting really pissed off.

"Kaitlyn come here! Isn't this dress like fab?" I slam my hand on the table and all three face turn to me.

"What the f-"

"Who the fuck cares about a stupid dress on an actress we don't even know at an awards ceremony?!" I screamed. They all stared at me in shock. I didn't give them a chance to say anything. I grabbed my purse and jacket, shoved my feet into my shoes and walked out the door. As soon as I was out the dorm building I glanced around to make sure no one was there and then I let out a scream. Okay. I'll be honest. I hate in the city.

All the girls in this school talked about was how much money their families had. Who got what for their birthday. Who was having sex with whom. Who did drugs. It was all fucked up. They were all snotty brats here. I miss home. I miss my parents. I miss little Anna and I really miss the one person who made absolutely everything better. Isaac. I missed him so much and all I wanted at this very moment was to see him and to talk to him.

Isaac

I try not to think about certain things. Things like the fact that I'm blind. That my two best friends that I love are gone and that the one girl I actually loved left me. Yeah those things hurt like hell when I thought about them for too long.

I was hanging with Anna today at the Lancasters house. It's still really weird here without Hazel. Anna is now eight months old. I wish I could see her. See the resemblance of Hazel and Gus. Anna was fast. I was told by Mrs. Lancaster that she walks really well by holding onto things to keep her steady but she crawls really weird. Mrs. Lancaster explained that Anna's crawl is gimpy and kind of crazy looking.

Anna started laughing and cooing.

"She really likes you Isaac." Mr. Lancaster said. Mrs. Lancaster was at work. She works as a full time family counselor at the children's hospital.

"Well I love her." I reached for Anna and I put her in my lap.

"So how are things with you Isaac?"

"Fine. Still blind and all but coping. Trying to move on with my life. You know starting to think about careers and such. Although I think it'll be hard for a blind guy to find any sort of job that'll take him." I said.

"No one said it'd be easy." Mr. Lancaster said. I nodded.

"The world is not exactly a wish-granting factory." I said sadly.

"Hmmm. Have you heard from Kaitlyn?" I flinched at the name. Mr. Lancaster winced.

"Sorry. Still a touchy subject."

"Very much so unfortunately." I said.

"You don't have to-"

"Nah it's okay I need to get over that. Moving on right?"

"No I haven't heard from Kaitlyn. I assume she's is having the time of her life in the big city." I said. It's only been four and a half months since she left. She'd be in her third or fourth week of the fall semester by now. There was a knock at the door. Mr. Lancaster went to open it and I heard him talking to my mom.

I kissed Anna on the forehead.

"Lates Anna." I said with a smile on my face. Kaitlyn had hated it when I used to say 'lates' and 'totes'. Anna didn't seem to mind.

Kaitlyn

I'm crazy. Absolutely crazy for giving up an opportunity like this but I didn't care. Now that I think of it, when I decided to leave for New York I wasn't actually wanting to to go. I was running. Dropping everything and running as far away as I could. Well if you call 659 miles far. I packed up the last of the belonging I could take on the plane with me.

I've made my decision. I don't want to be in New York anymore. I need to go home. I need to see Anna. I need Isaac. I walked out the front saying a very flippant goodbye to Abigail who just didn't seem to give a shit if I left and never came back. When I was out on the sidewalk I hailed a cab and smiled.

Goodbye city hello home.

Isaac

Couple days later I found myself home all alone with absolutely nothing to do. I was bored. I wish I could play video games with Gus or Hazel or just talk to Kaitlyn but non of that was possible. I sighed and then got dress. Maybe a walk would cheer me up.

I've gotten really good at walking around my neighborhood. At least I don't get lost anymore. I was enjoying the cool breeze. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind. The distant sound of cars driving fast. A voice. Saying my name. I thought I recognized this voice. I turned my head towards this voice.

"Isaac?" I definitely recognized this voice.

"Monica?"

Kaitlyn

Of course I wanted to see my parents but they were most likely at work at this time of day so I told the cab driver to drive me straight to Isaac's house. I was nervous to see him. Would he be happy? Would he be sad? Angry? My leg was bouncing up and down and I started chewing on my nails. And then I saw his house but I also saw him.

"Stop the cab!" The cab driver slammed on the break. I tossed him twenty-five dollars and jumped out of the car forgetting my bags in there. The cab driver was trying to talk to me but all I could focus on was seeing Isaac. It was only when I was walking towards that I saw he was talking to someone. That someone was a girl. She has really really blonde hair. Blue eyes. She was wearing a little bit of makeup that made her look stunning. She had gigantic boobs that were put on display by a low cut shirt.

I had a feeling at the pit of my stomach. Not a good feeling. Something was wrong here. The girl reached over and stroke Isaac's arm. Isaac was smiling and joking around with her like they were really old friends. If Isaac actually had eyes in his head he would never take them off this girl. Tears were threatening to roll down my cheeks.

Is he dating someone new already? Did he really get over me that fast?

I turned around and jumped back in the car and told the cab driver my address. As we drove away from Isaac and that girl all I could think about that girl stroking his arm. It made me want to puke.

Isaac

"What are you doing here?" I ask in surprise.

"I have a friend who lives a couple houses down." Monica said. She still that amazing voice. The kind that makes your heart want to melt.

"How have you been?" She asks.

"Oh you know. Blind and all. It's a great life." I said jokingly. She laughed.

"You?"

"Oh well. College. The family. Work and my boyfriend." What a nice thing to mention to your ex-boyfriend. She changed the subject quickly.

"How bout you? Got a girlfriend. And my heart sunk.

"Well... it's kind of complicated." I said.

"Ohhh very nice! Who is she?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Probably not someone you know." I said. Monica laughed.

"Okay. I get it. You don't want to reveal mystery girl's name. That's cool." I laughed and she touched my arm gently.

"Well, whoever she is. She is one lucky girl." I smiled. How bout you tell her that?

"Well, I better get going. It was nice catching up with Isaac. Take care." She said.

"Yeah. You too." And she was gone and I was all alone again.

AAAHHHH so much drama! Will Kaitlyn get the guts to talk to Isaac? Will they get back together? Stay tuned!
