It has been almost a year and I have been with Victoria for a few months now. She became a full time teacher at the school she was working at and flew out with her students to visit Washington for a field trip this month. We decided to move in together so once again I'm on the move. Had a few friends help me out with the boxes and found a bunch of stuff that I didn't even open when I first moved into the city.
I went through those boxes and did some "this is where that thing was!" moments. The last box I went through had nothing but a bunch of styrofoam peanuts and one small black book. It had to have some importance to me being the only thing in a box that size. I took it downstairs to the living room sat on the big brown love seat and opened the book.
THIS DIARY BELONGS TO GAYLE WHITE, it read. I stopped in my tracks in this new discovery that I had found. I slammed it shut before i could read any further. I walked into the kitchen and gave myself a shot of whiskey...and another shot...and another. I looked back down at the book and opened it again. It read:
With nothing ventured there is nothing gained...I fell in love today, never thought it was ever possible but i did. He's a sweet guy and he means the best...I could definitely find myself marrying him one day...still...there is the matter of ME that effects everything. I never told him about anything and he is definitely bound to find out, I just don't want to break his heart...if I told him the truth I don't think he would ever forgive me...I just hope one day he understands.
I didn't bother to read the next page...to be honest I was terrified of the next page. It's been so long and now is when Gayle reenters my life. Why now? I remember the last few moments we shared together and I remember her exact smile and laugh and even touch...what am I doing? I'm with Victoria now and I love her.
"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK," there was someone at the door and the knocks seemed a little urgent. I walked over and three more knocks were heard. I opened the door and it was Alana, in tears. "You said you would be there!" I was in shock when I first saw her, she looked exhausted and she was still crying even you can see it in her that she was holding back her tears.
I wanted to hug her but she was in no mood for any physical contact. She pushed me and cried a little harder, "where were you, when I needed you?!" I was speechless. She began to strike me and I held her and grabbed her close. She was crying even harder now, she pushed and pulled but she finally gave in to my embrace. She held me tight, almost as if she let go she let go of her life and I held her.
"HEY!" I heard from the distance. I looked and it was a fairly big man with a huge anger problem heading my way. Alana shivered in fright, I moved her behind me to protect her and thats when I saw it. The man pulled a pistol from his back and pointed it directly at me.
My heart was racing as he screamed and rushed towards me. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. "BANG!" it was all i heard before the world came crashing down...
