Holding Morgan in my arms all night was the best feeling in the world. I wasn't even focusing on my cracked ribs.
The next morning we got up and took a shower together but she didn't want to hurt me so no shower sex which I'm sad about.
I went put on a pot of coffee and she joined me outside on the porch. "I see why you like coming out here. It's so peaceful and nice." She smiled.
"Yeah, it is nice out here. Listen before mom gets up and comes out here I think we need to talk Morgan." I said.
"Ok, what's up Trace?" She said looking at me.
"You know with Jessa in a coma and mom still needing someone here I cant come back to myrtle with you."
"I understand that and kinda figured it as well." She said.
"In fact, I'm not sure when I'll be back and I'm seriously thinking of having my truck shipped back here and giving up my apartment," I said.
She looked over at me and tears filled her eyes. "Does that mean you are moving back here permanently?"
"I'm not sure what else to do but I need my truck and some of my stuff and I don't really have another choice," I said.
"Are you breaking up with me? You let me travel all this way to just break up Trace?" She said wiping a tear off her face.
"That's not what I want to do Morgan. I love you so much but it's not fair on you to keep on waiting when I have no idea what's going to happen." I said looking at the floor.
"This is unreal! I travel all this way for you to just break up with me. I thought you loved me Trace. I thought we had a future together." She whispered.
"That's what I want. That's the only thing I want is to be with you but it's impossible with me here and no real-time to even know when I'll be back. What if Jessa never gets better? What then? Keep you waiting?" I said.
She puts her face in her hands and cries and I can't stand watching her break down. Then she stands up and paces... "See this is why I never wanted a boyfriend or get attached because I didn't want to feel this pain and heartache Trace."
I didn't have anything to say. I feel like this is for the best even though my heart is breaking too.
"What you have nothing to say? You just decided this and I have to deal with it? No trying to work it out and make this long-distance thing work? I even gave up sex for you and you have no idea how many guys I've had to turn down lately. Proudly saying I have a boyfriend. Well, fuck that." She said.
I stand up and walk over to her wanting to pull her in my arms.
"Don't touch me Trace. I would hate to shove you and hurt you. I'm pissed and if I knew where I was I would already leave." She said wiping her eyes and nose.
"Please Morgan I'm sorry. If Jessa wakes up and mom is better I'll be back to Myrtle in a heartbeat." I said.
"That won't work. I'm not going off of what if and it doesn't matter you already broke up with me. Do you need me to drive you to the hospital to see your sister? Because I'm leaving afterward." She said.
"No I don't need a ride and I don't want you to leave like this, please. I love you Morgan this is tearing my heart out even having to do this." I said.
"Yeah, you seem really broken up about it Trace. You already had this figured out before I got here, didn't you? And you wanted to sleep with me last night and now I know why. Just one last bang huh?" She cried.
Mom walked out on the porch at that moment and when she saw Morgan's face she rushed over to her. "Morgan honey what is the matter?"
"Ask your son Carly. I come all this way and he just broke up with me. It was lovely to meet you but I have to get out of here." She said walking back in the house and to the bedroom.
I tried to explain to mom and she just gave me dirty looks and I know I'm making a mistake and may regret it for the rest of my life but I can't leave her hanging.
When I walked into the bedroom she was texting someone and I didn't say anything.
"I have a place to go to so I'm packing up and leaving Trace. I really hope your sister gets better and that your mom keeps recovering and you can be a great tattoo artist but this is goodbye." She said.
"I understand and I know right now you hate me but I will always love you Morgan and I'm very sorry." I choked out.
"Uhuh sure. I'm not going to act out or scream or hit you because my momma raised me better than that but at this moment I just can't look at you. Good thing I met Jacoby on the plane he's going to let me stay with him tonight and I'm going back home in the morning." She said.
"Please don't go with someone you don't even know and met on a plane. He could hurt you or anything." He said.
"No one will ever hurt me as much as you have. Bye Trace have a great life." She said picking up her backpack and slinging it over her shoulder and walking out the room.
I watched her hug my mom bye and give me one more glance before she walked out and got in her rental car and drove down the road and out of sight.
I knew at that moment I had fucked up severely.
