It was the normal night shift but a boy was sleeping on the bench with only three items. It was the cell phone that caught my attention first, then the photo and then the bow on my hair. They almost seemed like they belonged together and yet they just didn't fit. I walk the halls one last time before saying goodbye to my life as a high school student. It was prom night and I had finally got enough courage to ask the girl of my dreams to prom. We once dated, but it never felt like time was on our side. Almost as if fate was against us. I wasn't going to get sentimental tonight, it was going to be a fun night and if something happened, so be it. Even though I've loved her since I was only in eighth grade, she's never felt the same way. I mean, we dated and it was great, but she only ever liked me and when she did it never lasted. I'll try not to get emotional, I mean, after all this is just prom and she said we were just going as "friends". I tried texting her most of the day but never got a response. I ignored him and assumed he had just changed phones since the last time he gave me his number. so I continued my day as usual. except, of course, I had to pick up my dress and make sure the car reservation was still set up. I rented a jeep, a nice one. I always knew he loved jeeps, I don't know exactly why, but he did. I always joked with her about being Australian. I miss those moments, I miss her. Everything was perfect, I was training and it finally paid off, I looked really good in my outfit and that's a big thing as I always look terrible. I took the jeep and at that moment I understood why she liked these things, it was cute...... middle of paper......it never ends."where to know, darling?""far away, no I can stay here, I understand that if you can't take me there but at least take me to the bus stop, please""I'll take you wherever you want but you have to talk to your mom""I'll call her when I get there, but for now she would have understood: "I have to having driven for 3 days straight until we finally reached a distance that she thought was good enough. she pulled out a ribbon that let her beautiful brown hair fall and I swear I drifted into space for a minute. I hope she didn't notice."remember me" she said handing me the ribbon "I don't think I could ever forget you, I love you" "and you know how I feel, goodbye my sweet prince" she gave me a kiss on the check and I sat there. I sat there and watched her walk away to a new and scary place and all I could do was feel sorry for myself..
