Darkest Before Dawn
“So hard I’m certain it must be about to falter and stop for good.
I watch the red glow of the taillights as he pulls away, and before I even know what I am doing, I’m running after him, screaming for him to come back. My feet pound over the pavement with such force it shoots daggers up my shins.
Here I am, set free right in front of my parents’ house, but instead of running toward the safety of that house—all I want is the safety that I found in him. His taillights disappear and I’m lef...t, out of breath, in the middle of this dark road. My lungs burn from the cold air I’m sucking back, my cheeks sting, and my heart is shattered. Crying, I turn and head toward the entrance of the driveway, and for a moment I think maybe I should just lie down on this road and let it all go. At this moment, death—the very thing I wanted to escape—well, to my broken heart and wounded spirit, death seems peaceful.
Headlights shine across the highway as a car turns out of my driveway.MoreLess
