Neil and you had been dating for quite some time now, he was a little older than you but had the maturity level of a 13 year old boy. God did you love him, so much, but his immaturity was beginning to become a problem. Besides owning gumshoe video he sat around watching movies all day and playing childish games and pranks. The two of you were in different spots on the highway of life, you were working part time gigs and taking classes down at the community college and he was just strolling through life.

The break up was mutual, both of you agreed it was for the best. When a few months passed and it was the beginning of summer you were shocked to find him with a new girlfriend. Violet, a femme fatale straight from one of the movies Neil watched. You sure felt stupid stuttering over every word and even pulling on a door that said push.

It was late at night, maybe 11 pm, and still you couldn’t stop thinking about him. He looked so happy, THEY looked so happy. After minutes of contemplation you picked up your phone opening messages and pressing on Neil’s contact.
