there was your summer love, after seven years, you had a second chance together. it wasn’t over, it never was.

but you were engaged now, and not to her. you both argued about it.

but you promised your word to that man.

you tried to leave, explaining you had a fiancé, you couldn’t love ellie anymore. ellie closed your car door before you could even get in.

“just picture your life for me. if it’s with that guy, go. don’t you take the easy way out.”

there was a slight edge to her voice. your eyes were watering, but you tried to blink the tears away.

“there is no easy way. no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.”

you yelled back at her.

“would you stop thinking about what everybody wants? what do you want.”
