Rose waited outside her car.
She waited for him.
She waited until the bell rang.
And that's when she saw him.
He looked over.
He blinked.
He strolled her way.
"Get inside."
She motioned to the car.
He looked over his shoulder,
Staring at the crowded high schools,

"Rose..."

"No, Brandon.
I don't love you anymore.
I can't love you.

Her fists tightened, then loosened,

"I guess this is it." He mumbled finally.
She nodded.
"Believe me, I truly am sorry.
For everything."
He apologized.

And calmly walked away,
From her life,
And from her heart...
