Silence.
I turn my head slightly towards my front door, eyeing the silhouette through the glass. A few moments pass. I watch the silhouette hang his head, then walk away.
I turn back to my hands, which are clutching firmly at a crumpled picture. My only picture of us. Me and Steve, when we were happy. Before we began dating. Before things became complicated. Before he cheated…
Just from the past. Just one random day. We were both happy for some reason…
********************************************************************
“Catch me Steve!” cries Abi, as she runs and jumps into the arms of her best friend. He reacts quickly, and throws his arms around the petite girl as she wraps her legs round his waist. They laugh and giggle uncontrollably, as he spins round on the spot, carrying Abi round with him. “You’re happy,” Steve chuckles as Abi rests her head on his shoulder. Steve gives her a quick peck on the cheek, which was barely noticed by Abi.
Rachel comes running up to them. “Picture guys?” she asks as she bends down on one knee with her new digital camera. Abi turns and smiles an unmistakeably happy smile at Rachel. Steve doesn’t need to smile. He just looks at the camera in time for the flash- but his eyes are sparkling like never before.
Abi laughs and jumps off of Steve, though he keeps his arms hooked round her hips. Abi smiles at him and looks back at Rachel, who’s examining her latest masterpiece on the camera screen. She grins, “You two would make a good couple!” She looks between Abi and Steve, ready to gage their reaction. Steve simply smiles at Abi and stays quiet. Abi laughs more and walks away explaining “Nah- Steve’s like a brother…” Abi didn’t look back, but Rachel did. Rachel saw the longing look in Steve’s eyes as he gazed after Abi. And Rachel saw the love in his eyes in her picture. And Rachel told Abi, remarking that Steve would be good for her…
*********************************************************************
I stare at the picture, remembering the precious moments. They were the last moments we spent together as best friends. After that, I’d never seen him the same way…
I stroke his face on the picture. I have to remember him like this. On a perfect day. I will not remember him the way he was today… I refuse to.
“This is ridiculous,” I attempt to laugh away a tear falling from my eye, “Haven’t spoken to you for months. You’ve only really been gone five minutes and I miss…”
What?
“I miss you already”
No you don’t Abi, you’re sad I’m gone and you’re guilty that you never made up with me… but I don’t think you really miss me. Not yet anyways
“No, I miss you. I’ve missed you the entire time… I’ve just been too busy to notice until now”
Now I’m not here?
I sigh deeply, pausing for a minute. “You are here”
A crashing sound comes from the kitchen. I take my hand slowly across my cheek to wipe away my tears. I push myself off of the cold, wooden floor and lean against the hallway wall. Some scuffling noises come from the kitchen. I breathe deeply, and make my way towards it. I reach out to the door handle, but it swings back knocking me into my dining table. I look up to the figure in the doorway.
“Like I’d give up that easily,” says Jamie as he pulls out a chair and slowly lowers me onto it, “By the way, lock your kitchen window once in a while.”
Me- “Get out”
Jamie- “No”
Me- “Please”
Jamie- “No”
Me- “Please!”
Jamie- “No”
Me- “PLEASE JAMIE I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE”
My shout echoes off the walls all around the empty house. My mum thought it was best to take the family away for the rest of my treatment. My brother Colin stayed behind to look after me, but he was at work. So it was just me, Steve, and my cheating ex. I didn’t want Jamie to be there. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with Steve. I knew he was really there- it couldn’t be in my head.
I watched Steve take his position in the corner of the room. His arms folded across his chest as he leaned casually against the wall behind Jamie. I noticed how my image of Steve was different from reality. His blonde curly hair was now straightened and in a messy style. His blue eyes were bigger and brighter, his skin clearer. He seemed to be more built and toned, and taller too. Also he usually wore combat trousers with long sleeve shirts, but today he was wearing a black tank, indigo jeans and black converses. He looked like someone I knew… Is this the Jamie Rachel told me about?
I nod.
Your first love, huh?
I nod again.
Relationship troubles?
I nod a third time, but I look down into my lap.
Don’t hide your tears from me Abi. I know this feels bad now, but I also know that you’ll both be OK.
I look up at Steve. “How?” I say aloud. Jamie looks at me.
Jamie- “How what?”
Me- “Er… how… how could you?”
Jamie sighs and tilts his head towards the floor whilst running his fingers through his hair. I’m still numb and feel nothing. I know that eventually it will all hit me, and I will succumb to all the pain that has been bestowed upon me in the last 2 hours.
“Chloe is a friend of my sisters’,” he eventually replied after an awkward silence. He still hadn’t looked up from the floor. Too ashamed probably, “Chloe is a year younger than us. She went to live with her dad in Scotland for a while- during that time, my parents took my sisters away. Chloe came back about two weeks after we broke up. She didn’t know about my sisters leaving, and only found me because I walked past her one day and she followed me home to my flat. She felt so sorry for me after I told her what happened. She returned the next day with some beer, and we talked and drank at the park. We were both drunk, and we’d gotten to know each other and-”
“And one thing lead to another?” I spit at him bitterly.
Yet another awkward silence. Me- “In her text, Chloe said you had a first ‘you know’, what did she mean by that?”
Steve looked directly into my eyes the second the words left my mouth.
Shit Abi… I’m sorry
I smile weakly as Jamie finally looks up.
BANG BANG BANG
Jamie- “Abi, I’m giving you five seconds to open this door”
