Chapter
6:
Recollections
“Capper! What are you writing now?Is it more on that novel
you want to get published?” Brian exclaimed coming into Anna’s house late one
weekend night.
“Yeah. I have homework to do, bu I had a great idea and
haven’t been able to stop.” Anna smiled giving Brian a light kiss.
“Have you kept up with your pen top?” Brian joked.
“Actually, yes. It’s on the pen. Be proud. It makes me made
every time I loose one.”
“Well, are you close to a stopping point? I need you to go
over some of this math with me.”
“Sure thing Ric-Rac. Grab a snack and drink. I’ll be there
in a few.”
“Brian! Earth to Brian!” Nick’s voice echoed through
Brian’s mind. “Where have you been all day. Defiantly not here. Ever since that
interview. Have you even seen that girl since?”
“Yeah. We got together one time.” Brian sighed remembering
the difficult previous evening.
“Really? Did you have fun?”
“I guess.” Brian thought about how at times he thought Anna
would just have fun, but then that wall of ice would return and he’d have to
start all over.
I thought
you’d at least
give me one chance
but as results show
you want no happy ending
Why make it so hard?
I don’t see the logic
behind your blind reasoning
“Anna! Are you okay?” Sara questioned the red-faced girl
that was supposedly Anna.
“What?! Yeah, I’m fine. Just really tired. I had a lot on
my mind last night. Couldn’t sleep so I wrote about it. You know how I am.”
Anna sleepily said picking up her pen. “Well, I have a lot of work and editing
to catch up on.”
“Okay, I’m here thought if you need me.”
“Thanks, Sara. I will call you soon. You know that interview
you did earlier this week?”
“Yeah?”
“I need it written up in three days. So be ready.”
“Sure thing. I’ve already started on it. I’ll put it in
your box when I’m done.”
“Okay.” Anna sighed rubbing her forehead. A headache was
trying to attack her already confused mind. She knew she need to work on
editing for the magazine, but Brian mentioned her book she used to work on. She
just had to get it back out and look over it. She had never worked on it since
Brian left. The desire left her. Every single thing about it reminded her of
him.
She pulled the pages out of the notebook she had kept it in
over the years. Flipping thought the pages brought back so many scenes through
her life. Brian was in each one.
You haunt
my past
I have no where to turn
Why did you have to come
with your perfection
shining through
I still love you
but I just can’t
take that chance
