Chris signed the deal with Mr. Collins the next day and left the country. He wanted to escape the country so much because he cannot erase the love he has for Tristin. And as of the moment, Tristin’s laugh is still echoing in his mind and her smiles are still vivid images that he could picture out.

Chris arrived around 5 in the morning in France. He decided that to erase Tristin’s memories, he needed to go back to the place where they first met. He will recollect each moment they spent together and when he’s done recollecting, he will forget all about it and move on. At least once in his life, he gave appreciation to each memory he had with Tristin.

Chris went to the bus terminal and went to one of the buses. The moment he sat, he fell asleep immediately.

He woke up and realized that he has arrived already. He took off from the bus and went to house where he used to live every summer. Each corner of the house reminds him of Tristin and it hurts him terribly. The whole day, he just browsed the photos he had with her and the places they used to go.

Chris went to the town to eat dinner. He was exhausted that day and he felt miserably lonely. He thought this would help him but it looks as if it just worsens the problem. After eating, he bought six glasses of beer and brought it home. When he arrived, he opened the bottle of beer and drunk it. His mind was still full of Tristin and he cannot put it out. He hated it and he hated himself for loving her infatuatedly. He got drunk after drinking three glasses and he dozed off. He just slept at the couch.

Chris spent one year in the house and he looked filthy. His clothes were dirty and his face was unshaven. He looked rugged and needed a shower. He was always drunk and his eyes are dried out of tears.

Chris decided to go back to the city and go back to his life, but there is one place he didn’t visit yet, and it is the most memorable place. The swing.

Chris walked to the hill and found the swing still good and well kept. He sat and played with it. He is drunk, filthy and undeniably still in love with Tristin. He can no longer stop himself and he cried so hard while sitting on it. He was sitting on the swing for two hours already and still, he couldn’t get over her. He sat there until he is ready to move on with his life.
