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.”
BLURB:
My Purpose for writing this novel is to bring generations
of women together. My goal is to build a sense of camaraderie that resonates
with women of all ages. For the older generations this novel acts as a
time capsule. The novel is filled with so many emotions that the reader
will laugh, cry, and feel as though the characters have come to life. As
for the younger generations, they are able to learn some of life’s lessons and
know that other women have gone through similar circumstances that they may be
experiencing.
