It's been ten years now and I've programmed my brain to forget her little did I know that I was deceiving myself.

Things changed when I saw her.
She looked different. She wasn't the same little girl I had fallen in love with. She was now a grown woman.

She was gorgeous.
I needed her beneath me just for one night. I'd get her out of my system and move on.

That was probably a lie.

Months later.

Here I am drowning my sorrow in alcohol on my last night as a single man.
I was getting married to a woman I never truly loved.

Tara gave me a shy smile as she approached the aisle with her father.

Kelsey looked away and ignored me.

I was about to slide the ring on Tara's finger and her father's voice stopped me.

"Stop."

I turned around and faced him.

Tara grabbed his hand angrily.

"Dad what are you doing?!"

IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT

I was waiting for Max to come pick me up but he was taking a bit long this time and suddenly it began pouring outside. I didn't even bring an umbrella damn it.


I saw Marcus coming towards me and panicked. I couldn't let him see me now and walked into the rain to try and escape him but he kept following me.


"Kelsey wait!" I Marcus yells as he runs after me. The both of us were already soaking wet. He eventually caught up with me and held me  by the wrist, stopping me midway.


"Please just listen to what I have to say..." He pleaded.


Anger flashed in my  eyes but I nodded anyway.
