And if he had been sick, she would really
worry.
He just thought that Summer would never
leave him.
But, now, he was in the hospital, and he
couldn’t even hear her voice.
Summer had deleted him from her phone.
But the texts were still there.
He would listen to her voicemails, “Honey,
come pick me up after work, mwah!”
“We should go see the Northern Lights in
Iceland this year?”
“Ethan, Happy Birthday, don’t work tonight!
く
And don’t be mean about the cake I made!”
Her voice sounded so close.
Playful, sweet, and also mad.
He ignored all the fights, and when she kept
asking him if he loved her.
After losing her, he realized that he wasn’t
tired of her.
Summer was a part of him, like oxygen, he
needed her.
Later, he had accidentally seen Summer at
the same hospital, in the OB/GYN.
Summer was getting her prenatal check up.
く
Chad was there with her.
He was there to take care of her.
Ethan had wanted to say something, but he
was too afraid to do it.
He left in shame.
The second time he saw her was three years
later.
His company was in trouble and he was
looking for funding.
He walked past the Time Square billboard,
and he saw her jewelry ad.
She was a good designer.
He was stuck, and she had left him behind.
Ethan saw her standing below her ad, wearing
a red dress, and taking photos with the
reporters.
She was so pretty.
And he looked like a mess, he could never
catch up to her
ay
Ethan looked at her with tears in his eyes.
The third time he saw her, was at the
amusement park.
The weather was beautiful.
Chad was holding Summer, and a little girl.
く
They were wearing matching outfits.
The little girl called Chad “Uncle Chad“.
Then she suddenly called him “Daddy“.
Chad seemed shocked. He asked her again,
“Zoey, what did you call me? Say it again,
quick!”
The little girl was shy, but with Summer’s
encouragement, she hugged Chad, “I called
you daddy. Daddy, daddy, daddy! Do you not
want to be my daddy?”
Chad looked like he was going to cry.
And Ethan was watching from a distance,
green with envy.

At that time, his company had collapsed.
And Tiffany was like a tumor in his life.
He was jealous, jealous that Chad had
Summer.
And he was so sorry.
If he hadn’t been so greedy, the one holding
Summer would’ve been him.
They’d have kids, they’d have matching
outfits.
If only time travel was a real thing.
He would have gone back to before he had
hurt Summer.
[七]]]
She would still be his Summer.
But everything was just wishful thinking.
Then, Tiffany was bothering him again.
This time, Tiffany threw his old phone down
from the 15th floor.
The phone broke apart.
Ethan lost it.
His phone had all the voicemails from
Summer!
He couldn’t get rid of them.
Whenever he couldn’t sleep, he would listen
to her voice.
But Tiffany destroyed it!
He then lost all his control-
He pushed Tiffany down the stairs.
“Go to hell”
He said that to Tiffany.
He also said that to himself.
As he was falling, he heard the wind rushing
through his ears.
Summer, if I’m not here, would you think
about me?
No, forget about me.
