Forget Me Not
Urgent
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
I muffled myself under my bedspread looking at my clock, it was ten in the morning the next day. Andy’s leaving today, heck he’s probably already left.
“Sonny, come out” Misty’s voice came from the other side of my door
“No, let me die alone” I said
It was silent. I heard the door open. I saw a black figure in front of my curtains.
“If you open those I swear to god—
She yanked the curtains open, the light shed brightly in my eyes blinding me. I pulled the covers over my head.
“I’m tired of this shit” Misty said yanking up my sheets rolling me onto the floor, I scrambled up.
“HEY! WHAT THE FUCK?!” I cursed
“WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING IS THAT YOU’RE STILL HERE, NOT EVEN GOING AFTER HIM” Misty said sternly
“EXCUSE ME? But aren’t you the one that told me to let him go if he wanted to go?” I challenged
“And you actually believed me?” she pressed
I sighed and looked down at the floor.
“I can’t” I said
“and why not?!” Misty said
“BECAUSE!” I yelled “HE never wants to see me again! He made that clear!” I said
“Fuck that! He’s a liar, there is no way he want’s nothing to do with you. Go after him! tell him you love him! KISS HIM!” she said
“I can’t” I looked down again
“YES YOU CAN, AND YOU WILL” she said, she opened one of my drawers and dug through it. She grabbed a shirt and threw it to me.
“What are you-
“Shut up and get dressed, I can’t see you like this anymore” Misty said walking passed me, she went into my closet
She threw a pair of skinnies at me. She took my arm and yanked me into my bathroom.
“Sit” she demanded pointing at my counter. I sat on the counter. She opened one of my drawers with make up.
As I was still holding the clothes she did my make up. She did it nicely and quickly. I changed, the Misty took my hand and led me down the hallway. We walked passed Tate who was on the couch. Misty grabbed her keys on the hook.
“By e Tate” Misty said
“Yeah whatever” Tate said
Once Misty got me in the car, she asked me where Andy was staying. I told her where to go. I leaned my head on the window gazing out. I was biting my lip furiously. We pulled up to Andy’s house about ten minutes later. Misty put the car in park. She had her sunglasses on and she turned to me.
“Well go on” she said raising her brow
“Thank you Misty” I said leaning across the armrest and hugged her
“Yeah yeah” she said
I opened the car door and got out, I closed it behind me as I ran up the sidewalk to their front door. I hesitated, I looked behind me, Misty made a movement with her hand telling me to go. I turned back around and faced the door again. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. It was quiet. Nothing answered. I knocked again. I saw the handle move and the door swung open.
“Oh it’s you” Amy Andy’s mother was standing in the doorway holding the door open
“Is Andy here?” I asked
“No” she crossed her arms
“Well did he leave yet? Where is he?” I asked
“Why do you need to know?” she asked
“Because! I need to tell him something important” I snapped
She sighed and looked at me
“He left in a cab heading for the airport about twenty minutes ago” she said
“what airline?” I asked
“United” she said
“Thank you” I said, she didn’t even look at me, so I turned on my heel and ran back to the car and climbed in.
“He headed for the airport about twenty minutes ago” I said putting my seatbelt on, it takes thirty minutes to get there
“I’ll make it there in twenty” Misty re ashured me
She stepped on the gas and we were off. About ten minutes into the drive I started to get antsy. I was biting my nails and tapping my foot.
“Stop biting your nails, it’s gross” Misty told me
“You’re quite bossy today” I said
“Shit isn’t going to get done if there’s no one bossing people around” she said
I smiled at her. The twenty minutes seemed like an eternity. We finally pulled up to the airport, Misty pulled over. There were many other people dropping their friends and family off. I got out of the car and shut the door, Misty rolled the window down.
“I’ll just keep driving around until you come out” she said “They’ll give me a ticket if I wait here” she said
“Ok” I nodded my head
“Go get him” she smiled
I was about to run off but Misty stopped me
“Wait” she said, I looked at her. “You can’t get through security without a boarding pass” she said
“Then what am I supposed to do?” I asked
“Got to the teller and tell them you need a special pass” she said
“Ok” I nodded my head
I turned and face the building. I skipped inside. Once inside I searched for the tellers, I waited in line impatiently. Surprisingly they didn’t give me any trouble and gave me the pass, all I had to show them was my I.D. Once that was done I searched for the terminal United would be in. I saw signs, I followed them. I wanted to run but I think security would have been a little pissed if I did that. So I walked extremely fast. There was a long wide hallway, it was a bridge that planes went under. It had a bit of an incline so I picked up my speed since I didn’t see any security people around. My heart stopped when I made it to a long line of people. There must have been a hundred people all crammed into three lines trying to get through security. I stood on my toes to see if I could see Andy. I couldn’t see him. It was finally my turn and the TSA held out her hand for my pass and I.D., she examined it and stamped it handing it to me.
“Thank you” I said
I took my shoes off and put them in the bin to go through the X ray. The TSA motioned for me to go through the metal detector. I walked through without any problems. I folded the pass and put it in my pocket with my I.D. I ran around the lady in front of me who was taking forever to get all her shit together. I grabbed my shoes and slipped them on. I ran up the escalator, I made my way through the people standing on it. They were irritated but I didn’t care. I made it to the top, I need to find gate B28. It was to the left.
“The gate B28 heading for Los Angeles is now closing” I heard over the intercom
SHIT. I started to run. I ran passed Gate6, then Gate10. Gate15. Gate20. Gate25. I was so close. I saw it, the gate, I sprinted across the walkway. The door was closed. NO. This can’t happen. I ran up to the counter by the door.
“Please you need to stop that plane” I said
“Excuse me maim, but we can’t do that” the woman said smiling the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.
“Please?! There is someone I need to see, please!” I begged
“No, we’re on a strict schedule” she said
“You don’t understand!” I said raising my voice
“Don’t make me have to call security and have you removed” she said
I glanced out the giant window behind her. I saw the plane backing out and turning away.
“Fine” I said turning around. I stopped in my tracks.
Andy. He was standing just twenty feet away. He was looking at me peculiarly with a huge duffel bag over his shoulder.
“Sonny?” he said confused
“Andy!” I breathed walking to him. He met me halfway. He was towering over me with the duffel bag still over his shoulder.
“What are you doing here?” he asked
“I—uh I had to see you, t- to tell you something” I said
He gave me a serious look and bent down to the side and set his bag down. He stood straight again. He looked me over in my eyes. I couldn’t find my words.
“I-should have told you yesterday” I said
I looked down then back up at him. I sighed.
“Andy I lov-
I was cut of suddenly by Andy’s urgent lips. His eyes were closed, I closed my eyes finally to mold into the kiss. His hands came and cupped my face. His lips were soft and gentle as he molded them to mine. I stood up on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck and forced mine against his. He pulled away resting his forehead on mine. He took a breath, one of his hands clasped the back of my neck and head, he pulled my lips to his once more. His other arm wrapped around my back and pulled me against him. Our lips started to move, barely parting and kissing one another’s. I pulled away, I needed to breath. Andy was looking down at me, his eyes searched mine as his hand was still holding the back of my neck.
“I think…I’ve fallen in love with you again” he said
I muffled myself under my bedspread looking at my clock, it was ten in the morning the next day. Andy’s leaving today, heck he’s probably already left.
“Sonny, come out” Misty’s voice came from the other side of my door
“No, let me die alone” I said
