2019 aka now

Sabrina's pov

Two years. It has been two years since I last saw him.

In these two years, there hasn't been one day when I didn't think of him. There hasn't been a day I didn't think of all the time we spent together.

Two long years.

I missed him. I missed my best friend.

My life changed a lot these two years. Changed for the worse. Whereas before I always had Adam to take away all my pain, now I was all alone. I was alone everytime my mom treated me poorly and I was alone everytime I cried myself to sleep.

My mother wanted me to leave. And frankly speaking, I wanted the same too.

I wanted the leave. Move out. And although now I was finally ready, before I didn't have the means to.

And as I couldn't move out, it led me to face long punishments where I was locked up and wouldn't get food for a day, where I wasn't allowed to talk to Jay for a month. Atleast none of them ever hit me. If she did, I don't know what I would do.

Dad still barely talked to me. Only acknowledging me when it was highly necessary. Sometimes I could see guilt in his eyes. But maybe it was just a mirage. Maybe I was just mistaken. The man who didn't bother to care about my existence, who didn't bother to stop his wife from verbally abusing me, would never feel guilty for the situation I am in now, would he?

No. No he wouldn't.

Although I barely remembered anything about her, I always wished Shirley was alive. If she was, then I wouldn't have to go through all this.

After finishing my high school, I completed my english course and started looking for a job. After trying for months, I finally got my first teaching job in a school nearby, or more specifically the school that I used to go to.

And within these two years, I still didn't find a true friend. Someone whom I could completely trust.

I had acquaintances though, people whom I spend my spare time with, trying to fill the void that was created in my heart, by him leaving.

In these two years, Adam and I became distant. More distant than I ever thought we would be. At first we talked everyday. He was my one constant in life. And I was his.

But then everything changed. Daily calls turned to once a week. And from week it changed to once a month. And after that, it completely stopped.

He stopped responding. And I stopped trying

I didn't want to. I wanted to talk to him. But I couldn't. I wanted to tell him how much I love him and how much I miss him. I wanted to tell him to come back. But I couldn't. I couldn't do that to him. I knew what he was going through. Mr.Black was the only parent he ever had. His mother died while giving birth to him and after that Mr.Black raised him alone. His death had shocked him. And he needed answers to know who gruesomely murdered him when he was residing in a hotel. And I needed to give him the time to find those answers.

And I was currently giving him that. The last time we talked was six months ago.

My mom laughed at me, telling me that I was a fool to believe he will be back. But I knew, that my Adam wont break his promise. That my Adam would be back. For me

"Amanda I'll be leaving now," I told my colleague.

"Okay. Don't forget to send me the notes for the class,"she replied.

I nodded .

As I was about to leave, I stopped. I didn't know why but I had a sudden urge to just stay here for a while. I turned around and watched my safe haven. My school.

I kept staring at all the students. Some were laughing together with their "girl" or "boy" groups. Two students, who looked like they were a couple were standing at a secluded corner. Many were playing around.

All these reminded me of my time here, as a student. All these reminded me of my time with Adam.

Slowly, I let my eyelids drop and I stood there reminiscing all those memories. They were all fresh in my brain.

Suddenly a pair or arms wrapped themselves around me from behind. I could feel a warm breathe on my shoulder. A strong smell of men's cologne entered my nostrils.

And that was it. That scent. I knew it. I knew it so well.

I didn't open my eyes but slowly a tear drop made its way down my cheeks and I murmured,

"Adam"
