(Flashback)
I sit up, a small tapping comes from the window. tap tap taptap taptaptap taptap tap tap. I bolt up to my window and fling it open. A boy grinning appears. He untangles his dull clothes and grins at me. I don't smile back,
"You said tomorrow, what's happened?" I frown, his smile flaulters.
"I've been accepted." He looks down, "Sorry." He is already taller than me, so I stand on my toes and kiss him. He pulls away and I smile,
"Good for you, I'm glad. Ever since they went you have been so bored..." I was about to say sad, but he wasn't."...and you have always loved Music. Go on Tobias, shock them."
"I will, I will." There is silence for a minute as he stares at me. Then I frown,
"What about us?" I hush, "You, you will forget about me. Get married to some famous girl, some rabid fan..."
"I never will."
"You will, I will listen to your music remembering. While you go off around the world and become rich, I just ask. If you remember me remember this.
When a fractionless man caught me in the street, a boy helped me. We bowed heads and went desperate ways. Then later at school I met a boy called Four. 4 years later here we are, sitting in my room at night scared adults will find us. If you remember nothing else remember Beatrice Prior." A tear fell down my cheek, I would loose hope, he would never find me. Never ever after.
"I will never forget you, goodbye Tris." With that he climbed out the window. I watched him run down the street and climb into a large black car. I laughed as he gave a ridiculous look at the duck toy in the back window, he then turned blew me a kiss and the car disappeared around the corner.
I closed my window, pulling the curtains closed. I stumbled onto my bed, and sobbed uncontrollably into my pillow. He was gone, he was gone forever. I pulled the small picture I have out from under my pillow, the two of us laughing. His friend Zeke had taken it, then printed it off for us. I held it out and pulled out the lighter I used for the fire downstairs. Sitting on the floor I set fire to the corner watching it curl into a small black pile of ashes.
Lying in bed I felt sleep curl around me. With tears still falling I let it cover me and rock me into oblivion.
