The girl

The moon shined down on Elizabeth as she walked down the beach. The wind billowing in her hair. "Where is he?"she thought. Nick was late as usual. She reminisced the summer that seemed to pass before her eyes and closed them as she held her belly and walked, waiting for her muse to show. "Hey!" someone yelled. It was him at last! "Where have you been?" she asked. "At Mike's place he got the new Fable game on xbox 360!" He panted. "I have been waiting for you for an hour!" She replied sourly. "Well, maybe you should not be walking it makes it hard to find you." She turned her face towards the pale moonlight and he remembered.. "so.. how many more months again?" He asked. "seven more months" She said and held her belly, she knew this was coming. "Ok so how are we going to handle this? The kid will have two parents on the other side of the world, I mean I am leaving for Afghanistan and you are leaving for California in a few days.. What shall we do?" Asked Nick matter of factly. "Yeah about that.. I was wondering why dont we get married? I mean it is the right thing to do then when you are there if anything happens to you over there then your child will be taken care of by the government." "Yeah you would like that wouldn't you? not on my schedule" he mumbled "What? nick, I cant hear you". "Ok we let's walk on" He said. Elizabeth followed him her deep brown hair glistening in the moonlight and her pale eyes twinkling. Nick looked down at her regretting his decision. Remembering that night they met her swimming and he being the life guard making something up to save her. " Hey Elizabeth why don't we go over by that dock? Can just sit under it and enjoy each others company" "OK" she replied. she went under first, Nick held his breath as he went and thumbed his pocket knife remembering its sharpness. Elizabeth lied down basking in her delight of being with the one she loved- first love and glorified in his height and his bright blue eyes and jet black hair. "What is wrong?" she asked "nothing" he gushed. "so what is your plan Nick?" "My plan.. I don't know" He thumbed his knife again and took it out. He started playing with it "Nick, be careful" "oh, I am trust me" he coolly replied touching the tip, it drew blood. "Nick what did I tell you! Oh gosh come here!" She got up and he stabbed her. She stepped back and drew breath and dropped to the ground. He picked up his pocket knife and stabbed her again- his moment of truth- no girl was going to tie him down. He stabbed her thirty times before he had enough.
Nick woke up panting. It was the first day of summer. He was a lifeguard and it was his first day of work. He shrugged off his nightmare and got dressed. When he got to work he saw a beautiful dark haired girl swimming in the ocean and wished he could talk to her.
