Sad Romance Historical Fiction

You step closer to me, resting one of your cold thumbs on my cheek.ย 

โ€œIโ€™ll miss you, love. What will you do while I'm away?โ€ย 

Your voice is soft and I press my ear against your chest, your heart thumping.ย 

โ€œI have recently taken a liking to the beauty of the earth. I think I will explore my curiosities until you return, โ€ I say.ย 

You run your fingers through my hair, asking me to tell you more.ย 

โ€œEvery beautiful thing on the earth has it's own secret. Each one of them. If you take a moment to step outside, stop thinking, and take a deep breath, the earth will greet you.โ€ย 

โ€œHow will that sustain my absence?โ€ You question.ย 

โ€œThere's so much to learn and question about the beauty of the earth. I found a book in the cellar filled with flower names and their meanings. Do you know what an aster is, Alvaro?โ€ย 

I pick up my head, looking up at you and you shake your head.ย 

โ€œWhat is an aster, love?โ€ย 

โ€œThey are these beautiful flowers that bloom as the leaves fall from the trees. The name aster means โ€œsymbol of love.โ€ Isnโ€™t that just wonderful Alvaro?โ€ย 

Excitement coats my voice as you pull me in for a hug.ย 

โ€œAbsolutely wonderful Em.โ€ย 

I smile into your chest, โ€œam I saying too much? I wouldn't hope for you to mistake me as an improper woman.โ€ย 

โ€œOf course not, darling. Tell me more, Iโ€™m fascinated.โ€

My smile grows. You always have a way of listening to me go on and on. You probably do think of me as an improper woman. Iโ€™m lucky enough for you to not care.

โ€œI found lilies out in the pasture and picked them for a bouquet. Did you know that different colored lilies signify different things?โ€ย 

โ€œWhat does a...yellow lily signify?โ€ย 

I stop, thinking silently.ย 

โ€œI believe they signify gratitude.โ€ย 

Your voice grows quiet as you squeeze my hand.ย 

โ€œYouโ€™ve got a brilliant mind Em. You realize that, don't you?โ€ย 

I shrug off your compliment.ย 

โ€œThank you Alvaro, but I obtain other's knowledge through books. None of it is my own.โ€ย 

โ€œBut not everyone craves knowledge and words like you do.โ€ย 

โ€œIt is simply a curiosity.โ€ I persist as you shake your head.ย 

โ€œItโ€™s a sh-โ€ย 

โ€œEmmeranne! I expect to see you inside for supper in the next few minutes!โ€ I sigh at my mother's voice and smooth out my skirt.ย 

โ€œWill you be joining us this evening?โ€ I ask.ย 

You shake your head and frown.ย 

โ€œMy mother would like me home for the last few nights.โ€

I nod, and you peck a kiss on my cheek before dropping my hand and hurrying away.ย 

I bite my lip and turn around, hurrying inside.ย 

It's weeks later and everything feels bare without you. I fill my days with books and words, but loneliness pulls me away, distracting my brain from all else.

I fidget with the sheets, waiting for sleep to come, but my brain is crowded with information that doesn't rest, so my eyes are forced open.

An aggressive pounding on our front door gives me the excuse to jump out of bed and stumble down the stairs.ย 

I unlatch the lock and pull the door open to find Alvaroโ€™s mother shaking in her robe.ย 

I usher her inside; the door swinging closed behind her.ย 

โ€œMargaret is everything alright?โ€

I turn to see my mother racing down the stairs, hurrying over to Margaret who had collapsed into an armchair by the fire.ย 

She raises a handkerchief to her puffy and blood-shot eyes.ย 

As mother wraps an arm around her, my eyes fall on the tan paper, clutched in one of Margaret's shaking hands.ย 

I close my eyes, praying my suspicions wrong as my knees grow weak and my heart sinks to the pit of my stomach.ย 

Mother notices the paper too and tenderly unfolds one of Margaret's hands, taking the paper.ย 

Everything seems to slow down, mothers' brown eyes glancing up at me as she bites her lip.ย 

I start to shake my head, wanting to scream as mother hands the paper to me.ย 

โ€œNo, no, no, no, no. Please God, no! Why would you do this?โ€ย 

I swallow down tears as I snatch the paper from mother's outstretched hand and try to get my eyes to read the text.ย

Thatโ€™s as far as I can go before my legs give out and I drop to the floor, curling my knees into my chest.ย 

โ€œWhy did you take him away from me, God?โ€

Mother brings over a second paper, and hands it to me, as if she expects me to be in a state to read it.ย 

I shove it to the side and lay back, slamming my head into the wood floors.ย 

โ€œTake me, God. I want to see him again. Please, I'm begging you. I cant do this alone. Take me too.โ€ย 

I squeeze my hands together until my knuckles ache and plead, calling out for someone to save me from this cruel world youโ€™ve left me in.ย 

I see you. Youโ€™re everywhere I go. In my mirror, delivering newspapers, in the newspaper, in a puddle. I could never get rid of you when you were here either. We stuck to each other like glue. You remember that, don't you? I-I miss that. I miss you.ย 

And I see you know as I stand in your mothers backyard. The same backyard we dreamed of getting married in one day.ย 

I stand under the willow tree in your mothers backyard.

The same willow tree you fell out of the day I told you I loved you.

I hear you in my head as I take out the still unopened letter.ย 

I force myself to read it, trying to keep my hand steady.ย

I fold the letter, holding back tears and start my way home, following your orders.ย 

Your sketch isn't as terrible as you say it to be.ย 

Iโ€™ve seen carnations before with their ruffled petals.ย 

You could've gotten better at drawing if they hadn't sent you away.ย 

We could've learned together.ย 

I push those thoughts away and drag up the stairs shutting myself in my room. Carnations is near the front of my book and I follow your directions, looking specifically for the pink carnation.ย 

As I start the paragraph, I skim for a meaning.ย 

โ€œPink carnations symbolize gratitude.โ€

As I read farther into the paragraph my eyes fall on a note scribbled in your handwriting.ย

wow, so this was super last minute!!(I'm literally typing this at 11:38 PMXD) I was working on this near the beginning of the week and then stopped and didnt work on it for 3 days and then finished it todayXD Here's my notes, as always:) 1. This is pretty short compared to what I've been writing(about 1,300 words) but I think I like it 2. It also reminds me a lot of a previous story from a few months ago called Forget-Me-Not(probably my fav reedsy story I've written) with the death and the flower to remember and all that, but we're gonna i...

lol, whatever you can manage. harry potter could be some random fantasy book if you want to keep it in, cult can be disregarded and youtubers could be changed to just counting them in conversations if you want to keep it in. lol thanks XD And thanks for putting up with my weirdness <33

Have you seen this? She copied! Will you write emails to the big reedsy people with me so they make that stop? https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/bridget-summers/

Reply

what did she copy?

Reply

11:01 Apr 18, 2021

She did a rant in her bio about how everyone said she was copying other stories, but they were really hers and others were copying, but if you look at the only story she has up(good thing she removed the others) there is a comment thread where we're shown that her story is the exact same, word for word, as an older one from three days before. She's also being mean to the people who tell her to stop.

NOO THIS WAS SO SAD!!!! I loved this though, even though it made my stomach drop :,( The colorful historical language was really well written, and added another great layer to the story. Along with the flower note, I just love callbacks. All in all, AMAZING! AND DEPRESSING!!

haha that was my goal ;) so glad you liked it! I liked writing the older worded versions of english words from now, and the flowers were just as fun to research:) Thank you!! And sorry it was sad XD
