C͟h͟a͟s͟e͟ I want to get drunk. I wanna go get high as f**k. But that won't do me a lot of good. What if Luke changes his mind? What if Aurora asks for me? Fat chance. I sigh deeply. I'm sitting on the end of the diving board, holding that same bottle of Jack Daniel's she had in her hand today... or was it yesterday? It feels like so long ago. I roll the end of the bottle between my fingers, periodically tapping it on my knee. It feels like I've been here forever. Everything is muddled together in my head. The edge of the sky suddenly turns pink. I quietly watch, unable to absorb the beauty unfolding before my eyes. If only she was here. I feel a lone tear running down my cheek. I take a deep breath, trying to calm the pounding of my heart. I need to accept this outcome.
