In Your Shadow I can Shine

In Your Shadow I can Shine

I opened my eyes, everything was dark and cold, I couldn´t breathe very well, it was so heavy to
be alone at the streets in the midle of the winter, but I didn´t have another place to go. Since I
broke up tonight with Tom everything in my life seems to slowly go. I loved him, but he wasn´t in
love with me. What else can I say, he was my world but I was just another girl for him. Good
birthday the one if got.
I saw a car, it was an Audi, I recognized it inmediatly, it was the Bill´s car, it stopped in
front of me, then Bill went out of it.

-"Constanze, what are you doing here? Are you crazy? I´ve been searchig for you everywhere,
you can die with this cold"

-"..."

-"Are you going to tell me anything?"

I looked up into his eyes, they where beautiful, I hugged him and started to cry.

-"Oh! Constanze, don´t be mad, everything is going t be okay, I will solve all this problem
of Tom and you"

-"Bill, don´t worry about it, Tom wasn´t for me, I have to tell you I don´t care about him
anymore" I lied.

-"Constanze, I know you love him, and even if you don´t tell me, I know ´cause you..."

Bill stopped talking, I raised my head and saw tears from his eyes.

-"Bill! What´s happening?" I started to worry

-"Nothing, I just wanted to say that you are for him"

In that moment everything came to my mind, all the moments Bill and I had, all the details,
all the songs, all the dances,  he loved me and I was starting to think I loved him too. No
more thoughts of Tom  in that moments, I took a little breathe of
the cold winter air and then I kissed him. Our kiss grew stronger but Bill stopped

-"Yeah Bill"

-"You kiss me because..."

-"I love you Bill, I didn´t saw it before but now everything is clear, you were the one
who took care of me, who was always by my side and who always made feel like I was
a princess"

-"Constanze I love you, but what about Tom?"

-"You saw how he treat me tonight, what do you think is going to happen with Tom?"

Suddenly Bill kissed me again.

-"Constanze" said Bill, "please, tell that this is truth, tell me that finally we are together,
tell me that you love me, that you really love me"

-"Bill I love you, more than everything, and I want to be with you"

Then we got into his audi and went to his apartment.

At the moment we arrived Tom was there with one blonde and beauty girl, they were on the sofa,
kissing. When I saw them my heart broke in one million pieces but them when I felt the arm of
Bill arround my hip, I felt like everything was so perfect.
We just went upstairs to Bill´s room and start talking, then we started kissing and finally
we felt asleep on the arms of each other.

The next day someone knocked the door. Shouts started.

-"Bill!, Bill! Open the door right now, Bill!"

We stood up and Bill opened the door then Tom got into and hit Bill on the stomach, I shouted
Bill was on the floor, and Tam was very angry, he started shouting at him

-"How could you?"

Bill on the floor answered

-"What?"

-"You are know with Constanze"

I couldn´t stay quiet, I shouted to Tom.

-"Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

-"Constanze get out of here in this moment" Tom answered

-"I won´t go until you give me an explanation"

-"COnstanze you know my feeling about you, and then he comes and take you without any explanation
or right"

I started crying, I couldn´t believe that after all the things he made to me, he comes and wants
the things be like nothing happened

-"COnstanze? What is happening to you?" Tom asked worried

-"Tom can´t beleive that you´ve forgotten what you did to me last night"

-"COnstanze I made mistakes..."

-"Yeah and me too, That´s why I´m with Bill now, he love me and I love him"

Bill stood up and hug me, Tom went out of the room, he was really ungry, but nothing else
cared me, only Bill and I.

After some minutes Bil went to left me in my old house, the one where Tom and I lived, I was kinda of
scare so I asked to Bill to enter ´cause I didn´t wanted to be left alone, but he didn´t wanted, he
told to stay there, he was going to talk with Tom...


                                                                            &&&

After Bill left me alone, he went to see Tom, he found him lying and crying on the floor, Bill stood up
in front of him waiting for an explanation.
Tom stood up at apologized him.
Bill accepted the apologize but he wanted to know what happened to him.

-"Tom, Can you explain me?"

-"What? The drama that happened minutes ago, well is just that, Constanze is mine, and you came and
kissed her like nothing between her and I happened"

-"Tom, can´t beleive that you´re thinking like that, after cheating her with another girls,
how could you?"

-"Bill, I was a little drunked and she cheated me with you, so what´s the problem?"

-"Tom she didn´t cheat you, you made her feel bad and know she wants to be with me"

-"Bill, you´re my brother and I love you, but you have to know that the one that
is good with the girls is me, and Constanze it´s mine"

-"Tom!" Bill started crying he couldn´t beleive what Tom was saying, he was all his life the
one that has to be alone, he was upset.

-"Bill, you have to know that only in my shadow you can shine"

That sentence broke the heart of Bill, nad made he leave the building and run far away.
Meanwhile Tom was going to our house, where I was just crying alone on the sofa.

                                                                          &&&

Tom arrived and got into the house, he saw me, and went to hug me, I thought it was Bill so I
just hugged him, then his voice breaks my depression making me feel worst.

-"Constanze? Bill told me that you were angry but seeing how you´re hugging me I think it was a
lie"

-"Tom?..." I shouted surprised "go and left me alone I don´t want anything of you"

-"Really?"

Then he started kissing me, at first I tried to get out, but his lips were so mazing,
I couldn´t stop. The he asks me

-"Are we back again?"

I answered

-"No! Now I´m with Bill, he loves me and I love him, is him the one that I want"

I stood up and went out of the house, took out my cell phone and tryed to call Bill, it
was strange he didn´t answered. I was getting worried. I went inside and asked to Tom:

-"Could you take me to Bill´s house?"

-"Of course!"

We drove to Bill´s apartment, but there wasn´t anything, I shouted and searched but nothing.
I was afraid, I didn´t know where he was. I was thinking the worst.

-"Constanze?" Tom whispered.

Tom noticed a note on the table of the living room, I was scared.
I took it on my hands and started reading...

..."Sorry I´m writting this, I don´t have other election, but hope you and Tom be happy
together, I know that our feeling are strong, but I am not the one for you, when I turn into
that kind of perfect guy for you, maybe I return but by now I leave you with Tom, he will
protect and take care of you. Never forget that ... I LOVE YOU!"

Reading those last lines, tears aterted to run trough my cheeks, I couldn´t beleive it, he
runaway, I couldn´t do anything, now he was gone, and I didn´t knew when he was going to
return.
Tom hugged me and took me to home, maybe this was the last time I could feel love, happiness,
and the sensation of him by my side...

                                                                     THE END
