her dark eyes look back at mine, so sad, so regretful, so beautiful. tears stream down my face as the words spill out my mouth. “im sorry.” she interupts me with, “im so so sorry, i-i didnt think t-that..” and she trails off. i feel so stupid why would she feel the same way. “this was stupid. im sorry, i thought that… well it doesnt matter what i thought anymore. i’ll miss my friend. thank you for giving me hope.” the words keep flowing from my mouth. sentences that only fill the empty space between us. i need to leave before she can say anything else, before i can say more, before i can embarrass myself any further. "goodbye, Adaline” one last look at her beautiful tear filled eyes then i scramble off the floor and move towards the door. slow quiet steps i take, not wanting to move on but knowing i have to. deep breaths, deep breaths i keep telling myself, i can bawl my eyes out when i get home. a soft but firm hand grabs my right wrist and spins me around. a breath of air escapes my mouth. Adaline.
