First and Last Love

        Asher and I have been dating for three months today, November 15. What a lovely day. We've had this date planned for a week and watching the clock tick down the final minutes until seven o'clock, fills me with an excitement I can't even begin to describe.

        Glancing at my red lace dress that ends just above my knee one more time in the mirror, I race down stairs to answer the door where my prince charming awaits. Knowing nothing can ruin this night for us. With a deep breath I open the door to reveal my stunning prince charming. With one last glance at the room, making sure I have everything; I take a step out into the wintery night.

        Now I’m not one who knows much about cars, but believe me when I say this Asher has a junk yard miracle of a car. It's amazing it still runs, but he's saving up money to get a new, safer car. Although his car may not be much, that doesn't stop me from loving Asher any less.

       Climbing into his small silver car, I let out a small sigh, anxious for this night to begin. Asher on the other hand was nervous for some reason. It's probably because the roads slightly icy and his car has no traction what so ever. I'm not worried though, I know Asher will keep me safe. Trying to ease the tension in the air I turn on the radio, smiling when I hear the beginning of Asher and mines song.

        “Asher, it's our song.” A smile spreads across my face as I look at him.

        “I know Mia. It's a beautiful song just like you.” Asher says taking his eyes off the road for a second to glance at me. It was a second to long though, as soon as he glanced at me the car went over some black ice. Panicking Asher hits the breaks causing the car to start to spin out of control, into the other lane. Before he could get the car back under control, two blinding lights come around the corner, and a horn starts blaring. Right before the car crashes into the truck, Asher reaches over and uses his body to shield mine.

        A horrendous crushing noise is heard as my vision starts to get blurry. As my vision fades to black the last thing I hear is the radio repeating one line of our song, not even the gods above, can separate the two of us. Nothing can come between, you and I.

        I don't remember much after that. It was three months ago, my therapist says I have to let it go, but I can't seem to forget him. They way he smiled, the way he bit his lip when he was nervous, or even the small bounce in his step he had when he was excited. Those are the small things I cling on to, the only memories I have left of him. He died that night, at 7:24 pm. I don't know why he left me, or even where he is now for that matter; but what I do know is that I miss him terribly, and nothing can bring him back to me.

        My therapist says I’m depressed and have to get out more. I listened to her advice but I don't think she'll like the way I took it. I'm no longer the shy girl who stays in all night reading a book. You'll most likely find me out getting drunk at a party, it's the easiest way to forget the pain. No one needs to know though.

        My therapist also says I need to listen to Asher and mines song. Every time I do that though I can't help remember the accident. How Asher died and I got away without a scratch. It's not fair, none of this is fair. Life isn't fair.

        Shaking off my haunting thoughts I finish getting ready, about to go out to a party that is happening down the road. I don't really care who's there though, as long as there's booze. That's all I need to have a good time now. It's the easiest way to live. If you would even call this living. Gosh I need some booze my thoughts are just so horrible tonight.

        The best thing about these parties is that they never play slow songs. I mean it's not like it's some cheesy high school dance that Asher and I used to love some much. He was into all that stuff. Homecoming king and queen, winter ball, pep rallies, you name it and we were there. We're the power couple of the school... at least we were. Everything has changed now ever since he died.

        Walking into the party, I take a deep breathe, smiling once I smelt the familiar stench of booze and vomit. A smell that every good party has. Around my fifth drink, I started to let lose and have a good time. Asher almost completely fading from my mind. Of course no matter how much I drank he never left my mind completely. That was the best quality about Asher though. He was someone you could never forget.

        Being more then slightly drunk, my mind was working at a slower pace and taking longer to realize things. As I finally recognized the song that was playing, my cup slowly slipped out of my hand, crashing to the floor as tears flooded my tear ducts. Stumbling across the room, I push my way towards the door the air suddenly becoming to thick to breathe.

        Finally making my way outside I stumble into the road collapsing into a sobbing pile. Hearing a horn honking I look up to be met with two blinding lights as the line from our song echos into the night air. Not even the gods above, can separate the two of us. Nothing can come between, you and I.

                                                                          The End.
