I drew the curtains and saw that the sun hadn't risen yet. Should I watch the sunrise? This would be the second time I'd get to witness it. The first was when you held my hand as you led me through the empty streets of Barcelona. This is nostalgic. Of course, wouldn't it be better if you were here?
As I watched the quiet sky, I heard my phone ring. I'd received an email. It was from you. You asked to meet me at Cafe Kafka at 10:10 am. I replied to confirm and asked if you were back in Barcelona. You emailed back saying that you will arrive in a few hours. This was how our conversations went. No greetings, no goodbyes. Oddly abrupt and straight to the point. It is definitely different when we are together. I guess our similarity is that we choose to be more endearing when in each other's company.
When i looked in the mirror, I saw my resting stoic face. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to be able to see you again. I am just never good at expressing my happiness. I hadn't seen you for a long time. Mainly because of your frequent business trips. I can't help but to feel liberated because when I'm with you something spontaneous always happens. You always catch me off guard. I don't really know what to expect. You free me from this trapped lifestyle and I thank you for that. I looked in the mirror, checking myself again before I left my apartment.

I arrived at the cafe as you instructed and is 10 minutes early. I settled myself on a seat at the corner of the cafe. Everything in here had a nice atmosphere but, something didnt feel right and it made my stomach churn. I was feeling uneasy and I don't know why. The only thing my mind kept focusing on was a soft, barely audible lullaby.
I picked up the morning paper, El Pais. Starting from the back I flicked through the pages to try and get rid of these uncomfortable feelings. The front cover caught my eye. The headline stated that a plane had crashed this morning. I didn't get to read through the rest because my stomach bothered me. I checked the time on my phone. It was 10:09 You should've been here by now.
The moment i watched it turned 10:10 the light bulb above me started flickering and it suddenly blew out. It was as if time stopped for a brief moment. Nobody seemed to notice anything. Maybe the light bulb was old.
*Crash*
I heard the waiter drop a mug. Again, nobody noticed. Everyone was acting normally. What is going on? Is this real or am I just dreaming? The uneasy feeling washed through me and it became stronger which snapped me back to reality. You weren't here yet. I began to feel worried. What if something had happened to you?
I ran out of the cafe and left my belongings
I didnt care because the scariest thing is you no longer being by my side. I don't want to be trapped again.
