Curling up into a ball, I let out a loud cry. My boyfriend had been gone for weeks doing something for work. I had no idea when or even IF he was coming back.

"It'll be okay, I promise I'll be back soon." He smiled softly as he brushed my hair behind my ear.

I pouted at him but he still kept his smile, "I swear it."

I replayed his words in my head as tears rolled down my cheeks and onto my shirt. Soon he said, soon was way long ago. He would never lie to me, let alone abandon me. But something felt wrong, I just couldn't pinpoint it. All I could do was sit on the floor and weep like a child. Being without him was something I couldn't handle. I was completely losing myself. The more I thought about it, the louder my cries became. I soon couldn't hear my thoughts over my sobs; I was giving myself a headache. I felt dizzy and sick, ready to throw up. My heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest and I was going to die here by myself. Here without his warm embrace or his calming voice.

I couldn't lose him, he was my everything. My life completely turned around after I met him; I can't go back to my old life. Between the feeling of overwhelming sadness and being completely lost, it didn't seem like an option anymore. He constantly encouraged me to do my best and I've accomplished so much thanks to him. I just wanted him to come back and tell me everything was going to be okay like he always did when I was sad. He was so good at making me feel better; something I couldn't do by myself. Continuing to sob and recall memories, I felt the floorboards under me slightly move. I quickly look over to the space next to me. It was dark but I could make out a familiar silhouette crouched down beside me. Tears still streamed down my face, my throat feeling too small and dry to let out anything but a single whimper. I didn't know if I was just hallucinating from the dizziness or if he was truly there but I threw myself at him, wanting to wrap my arms around him. I completely melted when I felt the feeling of his windbreaker against my wet cheek. He stayed silent, allowing me to get all of my tears out before he spoke.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here, you're okay." He laid his cheek on top of my head.

I could tell his cheek was wet as well. Knowing I made him cry, I cried harder into his chest.

"I- I'm-" I struggled to get my words out.

"Shhh, I know, I know. Just take some deep breaths and tell me what's wrong when you're ready." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him.

My chest rose and fell quickly as I attempted to catch my breath.

"I- I thought...I thought you were gone..." I finally got out.

He squeezed me harder and I felt his cheek tighten.

"Baby, no...I told you I would be back. I know it took longer than I had said but I would never abandon you," he sounded hurt but soft.

I didn't reply. Not because I didn't want to, but because I had no more words. It was silent again, except for the rain that had just started to fall.

I know this was kind of short but I hope you liked it anyway!!
