"Come on comrade you can do better than that"
I couldn't help the laugh the erupted from my throat. No matter what we were doing she always made me laugh. We were sitting in our living room folding laundry….well I was folding she was taunting me and tossing socks in random pairs. Moonlight shown through the open drapes and there was a fire lit in the fire place. I was simply enjoying spending time with her and even if nothing was getting done it was a great way to end the long stressing day.
"Daddy daddy come read me a bedtime story" our daughter, Sadie, stuck her head around the corner. I melted at the tiny pout on her little face. He brown curls were falling in her face and her brown eyes look sleepy.
"Go on I will finish up" rose said as she began folding the laundry. I rose and followed our daughter to her room turning the hall light off as I went. I tucked her into bed and smoothed down her wild curls. Picking up the book on the nightstand next to her bed I began reading. Half way through Goldie locks roza leaned against the door frame. The smile that graced her features was breathtaking …
Beep Beep Beep Beep
With a groan I slammed my hand down on my alarm. The red numbers that read 4:00 mocked me. Seven years, it has been Seven years today that I threw away the greatest thing to happen to me. Those four words echoed in my head over and over. All I could think about is what I could have done differently. Maybe if I had keep my mouth shut she would have stayed. Maybe If I had pulled my head out of my out of my ass she would be lying next to me right now. Damn it I couldn't take these thoughts not today yet they kept echoing in my head. With a sigh I stumbled out of bed and into the kitchen. I didn't even bother to change out of my sweats. I yanked open the liquor cabinet in the corner of this cold apartment and pulled out an unopened bottle of vodka. Slumping down on the couch I presses play on the CD player next to the bookshelf. The familiar opening notes floated through the apartment. It was the only thing she left behind. After I saw her name on the sign out sheet at the front gate I ran straight to her room and pounded on the door. There was no answer so I tried the handle….immediately my stomach had sunk… it was unlocked. After I opened that door my world had crashed down around me. Everything was gone, her clothes, knickknacks, photos, everything just gone. I had sat there and cried for hours before I noticed it, a cd. It was from a pop band I didn't recognize but it was hers. Every year on the anniversary of her running away I played the cd on repeat and drank myself to oblivion. I didn't drink, ever really, except today. It was just to painful to stay sober. Then there was the dreams. Some were pleasant, us living together often with a child or two. While other dreams were torture they are always of her running from me crying. Each time I know I am the reason for those tears. I woke every morning with the images from the previous night plastered behind my eyelids. I regretted a lot but nothing compared to the guilt I felt over driving her away. I was brought out of my thoughts by shattering glass. Glancing to my right I realized I had dropped my bottle, it was empty anyway. I was too tired to move I simply sat there waiting for the black to take me. Before I could pass out my phone chimed with a text.
Reading it brought a smile to my lips.
Finally, FINALLY, I could rest.
My biggest wish was coming true.
A sigh escaped my lips and I fell into sleep with no nightmares in my future.
Ohhhh what do you think the text says. leave a review and let me know what you think.
I have been mulling over a decision i want your help with...do you think christian should have moved on or do you think he should still be in love with Lissa. I have and idea how to spin that aspect of the story either way but i want to know what you all want.
thanks for reading
