Prologue - Let Him Go

**************

My heart dropped as I finally registered his words.

No, no, no. This can't be happening!

he waits for my response patiently but I had nothing to say.

He takes a long deep breath before speaking.

I lied. I did have something to say but I was afraid if I opened my mouth even the slightest bit, I'd break down and start to sob hysterically. I wouldn't cry. I would try to appear as if I am fine and this isn't bothering me at all. But deep down I was slowly drowning in an ocean of broken tears and feelings.

"I think we should see other people."

My heart shattered and I shed one tear.

No. Don't cry.

I wipe it off and look down. I couldn't look him directly. His eyes and words makes it feel like were over. Were we officially done?

The crazy side to this story is two days ago we were having such a great time. At least I thought so. Damon had asked me out on a date. We went to the movies and saw a movie with Kevin Hart and The Rock. We were laughing all out through the night. Except when we had to say goodbye. I felt a bit sad when he drove off in his Jeep. But I knew I would see him the next day so I just brushed it off.

I won't be able to do do that this time. This was final. This was the final goodbye. I don't know when I am going to see him again.

Actually I might never see him again since we graduated our last year of high school two weeks ago.

College was coming and I guess he doesn't want me anymore. I guess you can say I always knew this would happen. He would always say I was too good enough for him but that was a load of bull crap. He probably thinks I didn't notice how everytime his friends would come over, he would send me on my way. Just like that. As if he didn't want them near me. As if I was an embarrassment. And all times girls would pass by and his eyes would linger a little longer on certain places. I shouldn't have been so stupid. But that is what love does to you. It makes you dance like a fool. I was once in love with Damon. Hint: once. Not any more.
I am no fool. I got two words for you, Damon.

Fuck.

You.

All my depressed feelings turned into rage. He is leaving me and won't even tell me why! It's not like I don't already know. I just don't like what a coward he is acting like. He had me at the top of his fingers tips but now he's got me at the top of insanity.

He basically used me. I should have listen to my friends. Damon was the reason why they stopped talking to me. They said they wouldn't hang out with someone who would stoop low to dating a big time player. Pfft. I used to think he changed for me. As if. He got everything he wanted. He got everything including my heart. And now he is being a jerk by stomping all over it. He said he loved but he didn't. I on the other hand meant what I said when I said 'I love you" because at the time I did.

Not anymore.

I should have listen.

But I didn't. And now I am getting dumped like trash.

At first he actually liked me. I could tell. But as soon as I gave him what he wanted. We started to drift apart.

I finally decide to say something,"Don't you dare walk away! And don't tell me this is for the best! And don't tell me to forget about you, and don't you dare to tell me to 'let everything go'. Don't you think I want to. God only knows how much I wish I could. I just can't! I can't forget what we have gone through and I can't believe you are running away. Running away!

Can't you see, Damon? You're running for what I have always wanted in my life! Why, because your afraid what people think? Well hell I'm scared too. But you and I- we have something worth fighting for. We could make have made it work. I'm not saying it would have been so easy. But we could have gone there. I care about you. And I know deep down, under this whole bravado of yours, that you care about me too. This is what it is all about, Damon.

Don't you get it? It's the human experience. Pretend all you want, but you're only lying to yourself. You're denying the simple and wonderful fact that you are emotional, and vulnerable, and alive.

Can you honestly stand there and lie to me that I mean absolute nothing to you? That everything we have been through has mean nothing to you? It was all a lie? That you feel nothing?"

Tears shedded, rolling down my flushed cheeks but I didn't bother wiping them away. This is what you make me feel, Damon.

"I feel sorry for you, Damon. I'll move one. I'll find someone new. Someone else. I'll be alright." I felt as if I was talking to myself. Damon was merely a ghost. I couldn't communicate with him anymore like we used to. "I will move on. At least I know I tried. I did everything I could. But someday you will look back, and you will realize what you threw away. And you will regret it. Always."

"Brooklyn wait." I turn around and met his guilty eyes.

He was found speechless. So for once in my life, roles have switched. I was the first one to walk away. And let him go.
