It started some time around midnight. The room was packed, you could lose yourself in there, i thought to myself. making my way across the room, the band began to play some song about forgetting yourself for awhile. i sat at the bar and ordered another gin and tonic. high school reunions remind me of high school, full of braggers and gossipers, nothing ever changes. i thought maybe i would regret not coming out tonight, but i am now having doubts about that. i silently agreed with myself to leave soon.
That's when i saw her smile, the piano playing some melancholy soundtrack. she looks different, but exactly the same. The dress proved it. White sleek,long with bright psychedelic flowers at the bottom. It was like looking at a garden on LSD. She looked at me and gave a look, one that meant both I'm sorry and nothing has changed. i grabbed for my smokes and knocked my drink over in the process. it spilled on me, and by the time i dried myself up a bit, i saw her leaving. i know she wanted me to see her leave, and who she was leaving with. I twitched as if electrically shocked. my chest began to hurt and my eyes started to burn. i rushed out the door on the opposite side of the building and hurried a smoke into my mouth. as i stood smoking she drove right by me, without a single glance. Exhaling a deep sigh, i put the smoke out and got into my car.
it felt like i was driving for hours, drifting in and out of my own conscious movement. i finally decided to pull over and i stepped into the bar. i parked beside the building got out and walked towards the entrance. The guy headed in held the door for me. i caught the door with my right hand, and caught his face with my left. i swing a hook and hit him in the side of the head. while he was disoriented, and threw him down to the ground, he tried to get back up but i kicked his nose in. That definitely dissuaded him.
The girl with him, the one in the beautiful white dress screamed in horror, than fury. “What the fuck are you doing here nick? you psycho! stop stalking me, I'm sorry about what happened between us, but you cant keep doing this!” She began to howl in misery. i stared at her while i pointed a gun to her mans head.
“if i cant have you, no one can.”
I shot him twice, her four times, and myself once.
