I think i told my story wrong. She doesn't have any feelings at all towards her ex. I mean, we should all know that it takes time after you get out of a relationship to start a new one. The main reason she said she doesn't want a relationship is b/c she's trying to get into NC State, and right now, her gpa is just short of the requirement for admission. She told me she wants to focus really hard on school.

The wind rises electric. She's soft and warm and almost weightless. Her perfume is sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes. I tell her that everything will be all right; that I'll save her from whatever she's scared and take her far far away. I tell her that I love her. The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
