Looking down at the now worn stained letter I never let out of my sight tears formed in my eyes. Reading the words I had now memorized.
Dear Shay,
I love you and I know how much this is going to hurt you but, I had to go I had to leave you behind. I know you wont understand why I had to go but I had to protect you. they couldn't hurt you I love you too much. I hope you find love again Shay... I'm so sorry I hurt you.....
Love,
Kayla.
Folding it he put it back into the pocket of his black Levi's. Running his fingers through his black curly hair he looked around at were he sat at the bus station. He knew the police were after him he was a 16 year old runaway searching for his girlfriend. She'd disappeared two months ago right after they'd made love for the first time. He had woken up alone a note the only thing she left besides the promise ring he'd bought her. Tears filled his eyes as he angrily wiped them away. He couldn't break down and cry again. Standing he went into the men's room and looking at himself in the mirror. Hazel eyes mostly green, light brown skin, longish black curly hair... Dark circles forming under his tired eyes. Pulling out his cell phone he dialed his moms cell number and she picked up almost immediately.
" Shay?" She sniffed trying to cover up the fact she was crying. his chest tightened at the sound of her voice.
" Hey mom."
" Oh God Shay! Where are you? when are you coming home?"
" I can't tell you that mom and I don't know yet."
" why are you doing this?"
" You know why." Holding back tears he took a deep breathe.
" She's gone Shay! They found her body."
He froze fear and panic threatening to chock him.
" Don't say that!" Tears spilled from his eyes and his shoulders shook with sobs.
" She's gone Shay! There's nothing left to say."
He screamed punching the mirror and stared at his distorted image. picking up a shard of glass he pressed it against his wrist watching his blood pool and spill from his wrist.
" If she's dead I have nothing to live for."
" No! Shay please don't cut yourself over that girl."
" too late mom." He watched his blood spill down the drain he could feel his heart beating thinking maybe he'd cut too deep. Taking off his shirt he pressed It against his wrist. he couldn't risk dying when she was still out there. He missed her so much. Thinking back to there first time she'd talked him into it they'd been dating for two years by then.
" Why are you so afraid?" she questioned taking his hand and pulling him towards her
" I'm not afraid Kay." smiling down at her. He was 6'1" and she was 5'6" curvy, wavy auburn hair, light skinned with bright green eyes.
" Then why wont you?"
" I like the way we are now. I love you for you and I'm not asking you to loose your virginity for me."
" I'm offering myself to you Shay. I know you want to." He leaned down kissing her gently smiling against her lips.
" I do...."
He kissed her deepening it with each stroke of his lips picking her up he carried her upstairs in a frenzy of passion and love......
"Shay!" He jumped as his moms voice pierced his memory.
" Shit!"
" what was-." He hung up gathering his stuff he ran out they probably knew where he was by now. He needed to keep moving and get as far away from the bus station as possible. putting on his hoodie he pulled the Hood up just as a squad car rounded the corner. letting It pass he took off in a full sprint for ten minutes before continuing in a jog. squad cars we passing him and he needed to get off the street they'd be searching for him in no time and if he couldn't get far enough he'd be caught quickly. Kayla needed him and he didn't have time to deal with his 'loving' mother. Hiding out in a park he called Kayla's phone knowing it'd go straight to voice mail. He just wanted to hear her voice again hell he was the only reason her phone was still on.
" Hey this is Kayla!"
" And Shay!" they laughed at his addition.
" You've reached Kayla's phone" he said he knew he was smiling like an idiot and she punched him.
"ouch! I'm hit!" she giggled.
"give me the phone Shay!"laughing.
"this is Kayla leave your name and number at the tone and if it's you Shay leave a message!"
Beep. tears drenched his face as he spoke into the phone knowing she couldn't and wouldn't hear it.
" hey baby I miss you so much." He clears his throat sniffing." I'm coming for you I promise I love you so much.. God i miss you I pray for you every night. I Love you Kay." sniffing and trying to stop crying he hung up. He hated crying but he missed her so much it hurt to the deepest part of his soul.
" Are you okay young man?"
Looking up he seen a man around sixty standing in front of him.
" No."
" was that your girlfriend?"
"Yes sir."
" What's wrong?"
" She went missing two months ago. I'm trying to find her."
" Well she's picked a good man to love her then. Whens the last time you ate?"
He touched his hand to his stomach and right on time it growled.
" Um I think two days ago."
" Let me buy you a hot meal and you probably need some rest and care. Your wrist is still bleeding, come on."
