EXCERPT
He hugged me tightly for so long I wondered if he’d ever let me go. Our cigarettes developed the
longest ashes I ever saw. As mine finally fell to the ground, I was reminded of how quickly I fell for
Johnny and how our relationship had been burning for the last three years. Eventually, we, too,
like that ash, would fall. We would end up a memory of something that burned so deeply into
our souls and it too would eventually turn to ash.

Such thoughts swirled through my mind, as I drove without a destination. Eventually, I found myself
at the park where Johnny and I went that fateful night when he showed me the secret overlook
and took my virginity and my innocence. I decided to park the car, then I grabbed my emergency
blanket, flashlight, and cigarettes and walked toward the precipice where it all began.

A tear fell down my cold wet cheek. I sighed and gave him my heartbreaking answer. “Honestly?”
I held back my tears as best I could. “I want you to leave me alone, Johnny. I want you to love me
enough to let me go. I want you to help me finally get over you by staying the hell away from me.
I want you to stay out of my life and let me be. Please, Johnny, I’m begging you.

“I want to be happy. I deserve that, and you of all people know it. Since I can’t have it with you,” I said,
crying a little harder, then I deserve to have it with someone else. So, please, Johnny, if you love me
like you say you do, you’ll let me go.”
