"You should go talk him, Summer." My best friend Harper is currently begging me to talk to my ex-best friend and boyfriend. I don't have words for what she is asking me to do, because i haven't spoke to him in ten years. Ten years? I am at my first high school class reunion. We graduated ten years ago, Class of 2019. I pickup a shot from the bar I lean against and throw it down immediately.
"I can't Harper. Ten years of complete silence leaves me with nothing to say to him." Her shoulders drop, but she raises an eyebrow. Harper has cooked up a new idea. Next thing I know is that her hands are on my shoulders and she is pushing me forward. Quite quick may I add. But then I realize where we are going and before I can think of what to do next, I crash into him. Who is him? You may also ask. Him is Ethan Hagen. We became best friends in seventh grade and never left each others side until the end of senior year in high school. Ethan is my first love and seems like my last. He has had me swooning over his forest eyes, light brown hair, and tan skin forever. Not only are his looks gold, but his personality is just something else. It's hard to find someone so incredibly hot that is honest, trustworthy, kind, charming, and humorous. But I let him go. College separated us physically across the country. I became a music photographer while Ethan took on being an architect. We lost all contact eventually, and haven't spoken or seen one another since the day I left for university —— "Summer?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts to lock eyes with Ethan.
"H-h-hey? Um sorry for running into you, i gotta go." Pressure in my throat builds up like that feeling when you're about to cry. I quickly walk away and out the doors of the bar. Someone follows me out though. I wipe my eyes real quick and turn around. My blue eyes connect with a pair of brown ones.
"Summer?" It's Ethan's voice. Ten years won't break the memory of his voice.
"Yeah?" I whisper although I don't mean too. I need to sound confident not heartbroken. I clear my throat and try again. "Yes?"
"I never forgot about you." He whispers.
