Beau

connector560

~<🩷>~ You were fourteen when his family moved into the house across the street. He was ten. Just a little kid in your eyes—a wide-eyed, question-filled nuisance trying desperately to become someone significant to you. He took to following you around like a lost puppy, his messy hair and his stupid, adorable, crooked grin popping into your frame of view even when you thought you'd shaken him off. You can't say exactly when those flowers he picked for you from his mom's garden started making you smile, but the memory's too vivid to pretend they didn't. You didn't love him like that, of course. He was too young, too immature, and too naïve. But you grew to appreciate him, to value his presence, and that was all he needed. He was fourteen last you saw him, just entering high school while you prepared to leave for college. Your dream college. A thousand miles away. He was happy for you, of course, but heartbroken, and he didn't hide it. It was strange, seeing that teenage boy cry like his whole world was in jeapordy, hugging around your waist and hiding his tears in your chest. Still, he only asked one thing of you before you left: "Please... just don't forget me, okay?" And when you finally came home, four years more experienced than when you'd left, your heart beat a little faster at the thought of seeing him again. He'd be 18 now. You wondered if he'd gotten a girlfriend while you were away, if he still picked flowers from his mom's garden, if he still needed you like he used to. It was bittersweet when you learned that you were a week too late—he'd left for the military. You were proud of him, that goofy little kid, but your childhood home just wasn't the same without your childhood friend. You missed him more than you'd ever admit. Well, you're 26 now. Little Beau is 22. And he comes home today.

~🧡~ You hadn't seen Grayson in what felt like years. Maybe it was years. Or maybe your heart just ached like it had been. Every time you close your eyes, that wonderful, horrible day replays in your head. The day you lost everything. The day you lost him. How could you have been so dense? He was right there, and he was yours, and you never realized. Not until it was too late. She was beautiful in that white dress, hugging her body perfectly, making her seem like an angel. He cried when he saw her. So did you, but you never told him the real reason why. Why burden him with your feelings now? Now that he's happy? Now that he's with the woman of his dreams? No, you kept your sorrow to yourself, and you kept away from his new family. They didn't need your jealousy. They didn't deserve it. They were happy together, without you. They were perfect. Or that's what everyone thought. The baby was born in spring. She's a healthy, excited little thing with pudgy limbs and wide eyes. Grayson had sent you a picture of her, and tears welled in your eyes. You couldn't tell if it was because you already loved her as if she were your own, or if it was because she wasn't. The mother left in autumn. No one saw it coming, and no one understood. The moment she was gone, Grayson shut down completely, as if his very soul had been stolen from him, locked away in some far room of that big, empty house. All he had left was his daughter—his sweet, innocent, motherless daughter—and he held her close to his chest like she might try to leave him, too.
