I ran a hand through my hair as I sat at my desk.
I was bored.
I was lonely.
I was depressed.
This was not how I had envisioned my life when I started college almost ten years ago.
I went off to the University of Arizona with high hopes. I wanted to meet the girl of my dreams, getg my degree, get married and live the all American dream. A simple life, it was all I wanted.
I really hadn't thought that was too much to ask for but apparently for Kate it was.
On the very day of our wedding, four years ago today, she left me at the altar.
Her note said that she loved me but that she wasn't in love with me and had bigger dreams than I did.
While I am thankful that she didn't make my life miserable by marrying me, she had broken my heart and the illusions of love that I had built up in my mind.
So, after I graduated I found a job and began my life as a single, lonely man.
My brother, Jasper, had tried to set me up over the past few years, but, no one had peaked my interests.
Our parents had been killed in a car wreck when Jasper was a Senior in College and I was a Senior in High School. He had had to grow up to fast in order to make sure that I was cared for.
I owed him a lot, so when he went out of his way to help me with something, I tried to appear grateful and appreciative.
Jasper and his wife, Alice, were really the only social interaction that I had outside of the office.
I sighed and looked out from my perch at the window.
I spotted a girl down on the sidewalk. She walked out of the building and her hair glistened in the sun. She looked vaguely familiar. I couldn't but wonder what kind of wonderful life she had to go home too.
If only my life were that simple.
A/n: Sighs...I want to hug him already...Still with me? I hope so because we're just getting to the good stuff;) Hang in there...I promise you won't be sorry!
See ya in a bit, Kyla
