Save Your Heart For Someone Who Leaves You Breathless

Chapter 7: I Don't Wanna Say Goodnight

Jack's P.O.V

     We packed up our stuff and started to say good-bye to our Philly friends. I'm really going to miss hem. I became really close with Julia and Brittany which makes leaving harder. I can tell Alex really likes Katie. I want them to work out but we have to finish Spring Fever.

One month later

Brittany's P.O.V

     Katie has been terrible. She has always had problems with depression and being abandoned. I mean her dad left her and her mom when she was a kid. But now everything has gotten worse. She barely leaves her room. She was barely eating but now she's given that up entirely. It's because of Alex. She misses him too much.

Three days later May 13th

Katie's P.O.V

     This is all becoming too much to bare. I miss him. Those few days were the best days of my life. I think I love him. I barely know him and he is consuming my thoughts. I look like skin and bones but I can't bring myself to eat. I don't want to and I just can't. I can barely do anything anymore.

     I grab my guitar and start quietly strumming to Vegas. The thought of him makes me well up with tears and I get chocked up while singing. The end of the song nears and I can see a dark silhouette in the door way.

     "That was pretty good you know." I drop my guitar that instant and run to him. He pulss me into a tight hug. One of the ones where nothing else matters. Where you forget where you are and all that matters is you and him. He picks me up and spins me around kissing me. By now I'm hyserically crying into his shoulder.

     He takes his thumbs and begins to wipe my tears away. He pulls my face into his hands and whispers," You know when people say even when someone cries they can still be beautiful? With you that's true. You're beautiful all the time." He pulls me back into his embrace and whipsers into my hair,"Darling I missed you like hell."

     Alex pulls my face back into his hands and kisses me again. It's a deep passionate kiss that leaves me longing for more. He takes a step back to take in my full apperance. You can see my ribs and my collar and hip bones are sticking out . He lifts up my chin and rests his hands on my hips. "Katie...what the hell happened when I was gone?"

      I start crying again but harder. "I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I couldn't do anything, Alex. I just missed you. I barely knew you and I missed you."

     "I missed you too. It's okay I'm here now. Don't cry I won't be leaving for a long time." He takes my hand and brings me downstairs. I walk into the living room as Alex snakes his arm around my waist. I stop dead in my tracks. Are these people actually in my house?
