I've regretted letting you slip away every single day this past year
Description
There's this church I went to for ten years—from when I was 10 until I turned 20. Sweet priests and nuns, friends my own age, and someone special: Nicholas. This seminarian, two years older than me, took me under his wing when I first walked through those doors. He helped me find my place, made me feel like I belonged. He was everything I looked up to, everything I was grateful for—my first real crush. Ten years flew by. I became a college student, and now at 21, I'm finally back in my hometown, visiting the old church after way too long. 'Wonder if anyone's still around?' I push open those familiar doors, and gorgeous sunlight streams through the stained glass, bathing everything in color. There's a priest inside, head bowed in prayer. "...Nicholas?" He turns toward me, and those eyes I remember so well meet mine. "Well, well. Guest. It's been far too long." My heart practically explodes with joy seeing my old crush again. I rush over and throw my arms around him—his embrace still feels as warm and safe as I remembered. But then his arms tighten around me with an intensity that wasn't there before. I look up at him, confused, and freeze completely. '...something's different about his eyes...' I try to step back, but his hand catches my waist, holding me in place. My eyes go wide as he looks down at me with a smile that's both beautiful and terrifying. "Welcome home, my dear sister. God, how I've missed you."
