Only in Your Dreams

I have been desperately, pathetically, feel-nothing-unless-she’s-in-the-room in love with Melody Woods for fourteen years. I’d already been struggling hard since the day she left town, but seeing her that night fucking 

My life started with the first four-leaf clover Mel Woods ever handed me, and it ended the day she left town.

I lie here both withering under the weight of her distrust and wondering how it is she’s even more beautiful than she was back then. How I had the stomach to walk away from her that night. Whether she’ll ever forgive me, and if I’ll ever manage to forgive myself.

“Now, be a good girl for Doctor Zac, yeah? I’ll make everything feel good.”

“Can you stop something from happening when you don’t realize it’s happening in the first place?”

“You—” I struggle for the right words. “You’re hitting on me. You realize that, right?”

“I’ve been hitting on you all weekend. Thanks for finally noticing.”

“Frankly, it’s a miracle you haven’t driven me half insane by now.”

“And now you know how it feels,” Zac says, voice rising. He shoves up the sleeves of his shirt. “To be driven out of my mind insane every time you’re around. To want something so fucking bad and know you can never have it.”

“I don’t understand how you’re single.”

“I’ve never been single. I’ve been yours.”

I force myself to stop thinking about the day she’ll move out of town again. Leaving me as empty as I felt the last time she left.

 Better than it ever would have been ten years ago, if I hadn’t lost my head and left her behind.

Maybe we weren’t meant to be back then, meant to kiss back then. Maybe we were supposed to wait for these very raindrops in this very parking lot.
