I saw him standing there, but his mind was absent. “Hey Josh, earth to Josh?” “Oh, right.” “What’s going on with you lately?” “Nothing, I just have a lot of homework to do, I will see you later?” I wasn’t sure if he was asking to see me later, or if he was unsure of himself. We’ve been dating for three years, we were now seniors in college. I saw him get into his car and drive away.

I was packing for a trip to see my mother, she lived in Florida and I in Tennessee. Josh knew I was taking this trip, but maybe he needed a reminder. I decided to text him to let him know. “Hey babe, I’m taking that trip to Florida tomorrow, wanna hang out tonight and watch a movie or something?” I waited for over an hour but no reply. I guess not. After waiting around in my dorm alone, I decided to head to Florida early.

I met my mother at the airport, just as planned before. “Hello mother! I missed you so much!” “Luna, darling, I missed you too! How is school? How is Josh doing? I am shocked he didn’t come this time around.” “Josh had a lot of homework, don’t want him to start slacking now. We are so close to graduation, you are still coming aren’t you?” “Yes, I already got my plane tickets, just waiting for the graduation tickets to come out. You know that I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

My mom brought me back to my childhood house. I walked straight into my old room as if I had never left. Most of my old toys were exactly where I left them. As I was reminiscing, my phone rang. “Hello?” “Luna, it’s Sadie. I’m at Tonya’s winter party, and you wouldn’t believe what I just saw.” “Girl, tell me!” “Luna, Josh is hooking up with Tonya. I was looking for Billy, but when searching the rooms, I saw the, shacking up in her dorm room.”

My heart was broken, but I wanted to see for myself. “Luna, are you sure you need to leave early?” “Yeah mom, I forgot about my science project that’s due.” “Alright, call me if you need anything.” I walked to the terminal, and hopped onto my plane. Finally back at college. I walked to Josh’s room to say hello, that’s when I heard them. I opened the door, it wasn’t a surprise to see MY Josh with Tonya. “Of course, I should have known when you were weird on the last day of class.” “Luna wait.” “I guess it was all in vain.”
