Their Story (Part Three)

Well, I got a job. Graduation was tough, though. Kate and I were both the top of the class so we had to sit very close to each other and make a speech together. I nearly fell apart right there. After that I never saw here again. She got an internship with Scope Aquatechs, and then I was job searching. I doubt that I'll ever see her again. I need to forget about her, but it's been two months since I saw her, and I'm going crazy. I keep picturing her pretty face in my head and her voice is ringing in my ears. 1

I stopped sleeping for a while because she was always there. In my dreams, her sweet smile and the kindness she always bestowed on me. The dreams always ended the same way though; she slipped through my fingers. There were times in my dreams when I stopped her from running, but then she turned to dust when I touched her. The first time I smelled her sweet shampoo and now I can barely make it through the stupid shampoo section now. I'm very lost without her. I need her to function. I've withdrawn from friends, from everything. I think it'll help when I start my job. I was lucky to grab this spot though. It pays very well, and it's not that hard either. I work in marine animals in the zoo, I just monitor their health. I'm not going to stay there though, I am going to keep searching for different job openings, but for now, this will be good. I hope. It'll only be better if I could have Kate with me.2

I got an internship! Guess with what company! Scope Aquatechs! They have produced many a great divers and marine biologists. I am excited. It was a tough road getting there though. I tried so hard to focus on my studies, but he just came into my thoughts. There was very little I could do. I thought that I was doing a pretty good job, well until graduation that is. I thought that I was at the top alone, but then I found out that HE was up at the top as well. I had to sit next to him practically the entire time. That was difficult. The smell of him and the way that he just sat there so cooly I should have known that he would have forgotten me so quickly. While we sat there I tried to figure out what he smelled of. It wasn't cologne, but it was nice and heavenly. I can still feel the smell tickling my nose. I don't know what I'm going to do. I fell hard for someone who didn't even care anymore. Maybe I'll meet someone at work.4

Other than the fact that my heart was completely crushed everything else is wonderful in my life. I'm getting a good internship and I've maintained a well paying job at the library, and they are just tranferring me, so I will keep the same pay which is good. I have no college debts. Just I feel dead inside. I hope this feeling passes. I just can't, I don't even know. I wish that he was here. I just had to go and screw everything up!5
