She looked up at the skies, begging for her tears to stop welling up and stop trying to fall. Next to her was the boy she thought she'd always love, always stay with. He was lying on the grass next to her but she was sitting, her arms around her legs as she pulled her knees closer to her dress. Then there was the sound of his phone, the ringing echoed in her ears.

"Why aren't you picking up the phone?" she whispered softly.
"Um..." he tried to find the words as his phone rang loudly, the only sound in the silent, cool night.
"It's her isn't it?" she asked as the ringing mocked her, made her wish for her to be everything the girl he loved now was.
"I-," he tried again, but the ringing stopped, and he stopped as well.
"Call her back, it's alright with me," she said as she avoided his brown-eyed gaze.
"Are you sure, Liz, I don't have-," he started.
"Dan, just go, just... go call her back," she finally managed to say as he got up from the ground and walked a little bit away, just so that she was out of ear shot.

She didn't want to cry, he knew that. He saw the green eyes of hers glistening in the moonlight, but he didn't want to believe that he hurt her. She didn't want him to believe that either. But if only, if only he knew, if only he knew that she had loved him for real, had a whole future set ahead and all of the plans included him. But he didn't, and now, she'd never tell...

He was walking back, across the cool green grass lawn as she continued to look up at the pitch black night that was set aflame by the twinkling stars. It was a romantic scene, the trees that arched gracefully and the boy and girl there. But all love was gone, only two friends trying to hold onto their friendship as best as possible only to fail.

"You have to go, don't you?" she asked.
"I'm sorry Liz, I'll make it up to you," he promised with sorrow.
"No, I understand, you have to watch her, go on, I'll be fine," she said in a monotone voice, a dead voice.
"But-," he started.
"No, I totally get it, just go," she said as he walked towards his car and when she heard the engine in the distant, she broke down and cried.

There were tears in her eyes, every day afterwards. She walked with a shadow over her emotions. She didn't know what to say anymore, or what to do. She looked straight ahead the next day, and saw him. His arm around the girl's shoulders and she remember, it used to be me. She walked away, at least, thats what everyone thought. Each step was another piece her heart was being ripped away, each second of living without him was another stab. She didn't know what to do and he looked at her later. He looked into her eyes, and the two of them saw the same thing. They both saw Elizabeth with tears in her eyes and the ghost of the happy girl she used to be.

She walked away, far away and she hoped to never come back, but misery followed and as she walked she cried, the tears she told herself she'd hold in fell, and she cried till tears were no longer in her green eyes. Till she told herself she'd hold it all in till it was time to cry again... and she didn't know what to do, so lost and so confused...
