Chapter 5
It had been four months since she had
seen him and she had never felt more alone. She wanted to call him and tell him
what a huge mistake she had made, that she wanted him back, but pride was such
an ugly thing. She was sat in the car when the song came on again, his voice
filled the speakers and from the first time she had heard it she knew it was
about her.
I had notion that you’d make me change my ways
And the bad habits will be gone in a couple of days
I had a feeling that you’d open up my eyes
To a whole new world that has since been in disguise
But that day will most likely never come for me
And it’s just my luck to end up getting stuck to everything you
are
So tonight I will sit and pick apart your pictures
And over analyse your words
The truth is I’ve never fallen so hard
Its taken everything from within me just to forget your sweater so
far
I had a notion that you’d make me forget the world
But your un-decisive mind shows me that you are just another girl
And I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seems?
Baby then you’d know how I’d feel
And I can honestly say
That I’ve never ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body that caused my comatose to begin.
I will sleep another day
I don’t really need to anyway
What’s the point when my dreams infected with words you used to
say?
I will breath in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn’t want to as I don’t go messing anything up.
So don’t go worrying about me
It’s not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do
But that shouldn’t affect your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked right through the door.
Not let you get the best of me
Cause there is nothing I do well
I’ll be the giver
And you’ll be the taker
I guess that’s how this one’s got to go
You’ve got me down on my knees
And I proclaim
All hail the heart breaker. (Hail the Heart
Breaker – The Spill Canvas.)
She didn’t see the green Durango till
it was too late and with the screeching of the brakes on the tires she prowled
into the back of it. The airbag immediately sprang to life which caused great
hassle in removing herself from the car. She felt a hand grab for hers and was
pulled out to meet a pair of blue eyes that she knew very well.
“Driving with your eyes closed the new
in thing?” He asked as he looked her up and down to check she was ok.
“Might have been. Ohh damn it I really
don’t need this shit today.” She could feel the tears spring to her eyes not
just because of the damage but because he was in front of her once again.
Meeting again how they had first met. Was someone trying to tell her something?
“Yeah me either. Look jump in the
Durango I’ll move your car and take you home.”
“I can drive myself Nick. I do have a
car.” What was she doing? He had been thinking about him not five minutes ago,
wanting to get back with him and now she was being a complete bitch to him.
“Okay you try and drive with a flat
see how far you get.” He said in an exacerbated tone.
“Hey look I’m sorry it’s just…” She
looked to the ground trying to find the words to say to him.
“I know Edie.” He turned around to walk to her car but back
tracked and took her face in his hands as he pulled her in for a kiss. She sunk
into him like she always did as the kiss deepened, her arms coming up to rest
around his neck as she pulled him in closer.
“Tell me that you don’t love Edie.” He
whispered as he pulled away breathless. She stared into his eyes for what seemed
like eternity and then pulled him down so their foreheads rested upon each
other.
“I can’t because I am so in love with
you Nick.” She whispered as she began to feel the tears fall from her eyes as
he pulled her in for another kiss.
