Deluge (1/1)
Deluge

        The rain was cold. The deluge unforgiving.

        He bent back his head and looked up at the dark gray sky. He barely noticed as the cold drops covered him, mixing with the tears in his eyes… the tears on his face.

        If only it would never stop.

        If only it could rain forever.

        Maybe then the pain would stop.

        Swept away in the torrent.

        Drowned by the unrelenting flood.

        It was too much to ask for. He knew that even as the wish formed. The rain would end, just as everything else did. There was nothing in the world that you could truly count on, except death. Death was the only thing that never betrayed you. Even though you didn’t know when it may arrive, you could cling to the certainty that it would.

        He laughed at himself somewhat bitterly. Just when was it that death had become his only friend?

        A moment sprang to mind, but it was too neat. Too logical. In a way, it was a copout. It would be like saying, ‘This is it. This is the moment that changed everything. The moment that ruined my life.’

        That wouldn’t be fair. Not to him, and not to her. That moment might have been the end. It might have been what destroyed him. What had him praying for everything to just be over, but to really know the cause of his pain, you had to go back.

        Back to the side of the road, or even to the dock.

        Maybe back to the carnival, or even to that moment in Kindergarten when he had first seen her.

        When was it enough?

        What was it that could truly describe what she meant to him?

        What could explain how completely she had destroyed him?

        It was a tough question. One that he had struggled with often.

        Where had it begun?

        Where would it end?

        He had to admit that it had begun the moment that he had first laid eyes on her. Because if he had never known her, he never would have loved her.

        The path that had led him here, to this night, to the dark, to the rain, could have started at any number of points during their long and turbulent relationship.

        It might have been the carnival, or the dock, or the side of the road…

        It could have been by the fire, or in the boat house, or on the boat…

        It might have been the storm, or the party, or the rave…

        The ski lodge…

        The prom…

        It might have been when he went one way… and she went another…

        Or it might have been that moment, not even an hour ago, walking through the town that had been their childhood home. It might have been stopping by that church and looking inside.

        It might have been seeing her there.

        Seeing her with him.

        It had been bright inside. Almost sunny. And most of the light had been coming from her. It had been shining from her face, from her eyes. The brightness was in such sharp contrast to the darkness and the rain in which he stood, to the darkness in his heart, that he’d had to turn away.

        He’d had to get away. Get to a place where no one could find him. Where no one would recognize the pain…

        That was what had brought him here, to the edge of the creek, to the dock.

        The pain.

        And a simple, terrifying truth.

        In that moment, as he had gazed into that brightly lit church, he had recognized something. Something that terrified him.

        Hurt him.

        Destroyed him.

        There were no tomorrows.

        Not for them.

        Not for him.

        There were only yesterdays.

That's so heart-wrenchingly sad. :(

Good job sweetie. You are such an amazing writer, I know I said this before, but you just cram so much into such a small amount of time and space it astounds me. Please post more fics soon!
