[ voice msg: ā sent: december 2, 2015 ; 10PMĀ ]: okay, holden. i guess i should say this. /i forgive you/ but along with that, i will forget everything we had and every memory we created together. i'll forget everything we started this day, a year ago. i'll never be a part of your life ever again, not as a friend or even an ex-girlfriend. i'll be a complete stranger. and from now on, i have never been a part of your life either. i hope you're happy, though. take care of yourself. love, iris.
Ā Ā Ā Ā There was nothing better than change. Some are scared of it, frightened by what certain possibilities change could hold. How the future could alter as a result. But not Holden. No, Holden wasnāt scared of change ā Rather, he intended to embrace it. Although some change had brought upon more bad than he had hoped ā He has never felt anything but content with his decisions, something that he supposed most people just didnāt understand.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā AĀ simple change he had made within the past few months though was a new cell phone, since the one he had previously was well used and practically falling apart. It also contained messages that he didnāt want to see ā But didnāt want to delete either. Although, even after months of owning his new phone, something urged him to rummage through his things and check his old one. Maybe to relive the past, recall the memories, he wasnāt sure. But there he was, turning on the device that almost felt like he hadnāt used in ages.Ā

Ā Ā Ā Ā Once the screen had lit up, he noticed a notification pop up. That was odd. It was from a number that he was unfamiliar with and it had been sent so long ago. Who could it be? But once he had pressed play, he knew exactly who it was from. That voice. He could never forget it. He pictured her face as her words echoed through his room. And once it had ended, Holden leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and whispering softly to himself as he realized that closure was what he had wanted all along.Ā āThank you, Iris. Iāll miss you.āĀ
