Oklahoma Heart: Stolen Away

HELP! I need somebody... (Warning some parts could be upsetting to others)

She was running away again. She was back on those streets in New York and she was crying as the rain poured over her. 

No, No why? Why am I doing this again? 

She was yelling at herself internally. She shook her head and stopped running. 

She heard his voice.

"Em, come home."

"But I already went home," she said through her tears " I left you and now I regret it every day because the truth is..."

"You still love me?" He was there than standing behind her in the rain. It was the way he looked that night. He too had tears pouring from his blue eyes and he was holding her. She felt the teardrops falling with the rain and knew this was a dream but she wanted to stay. It was healing for her. 

"I should have never left." 

"You had to," his voice raspy and tired from crying said softly to her ear. "You were still broken and I couldn't fix you and I was broken too." 

"I am so much better now but... are you?"

She tried to spin around to face him but then she felt herself being pulled out of this haven. 

"No please I need to see him. Please I need the closer or the new beginning. Please no" 

but...

 she woke up. Luna was barking out the window next to her bed and the sun was shining in her face.

"Ugh, Luna please stop. They are not going away any time soon sweet girl." She said as she got up and grabbed her dog up and hugged her to her chest. Luna still barked. 

The press had figured out that it wasn't her and Alex in the car yesterday and had been camped out again in front of the apartment when she got home from dropping Alex off at the hotel. 

They had tried to keep the chat lowkey in the car for the rest of the trip. Alex realized that her emotional meter was tapped out and she suspected so was his. They were playful again but still standoffish like new friends trying to figure each other out. When they got to the hotel. He had hopped out of the car and leaned into her window and kissed her a sweet gentle kiss. 

It caught her off guard especially when she found herself kissing him too. 

When he pulled away. She began to ask what that was for but he didn't give her a chance just started backing away and said "I'll get Skylar's clothes cleaned and bring them back with me tomorrow when we come to town so I can get situated."

"Okay." was all she could say as she touched her swollen lips and stared into his eyes before he grinned and turned around opened the door and walked into the hotel.

"What just happened?" she said to herself as she pulled out of the parking lot and headed back home. 

Her phone was attached to her car stereo and she immediately asked Google to call Tess. 

"Well, it's about damn time." 

"Sorry, we had some things to discuss."

"And?"

"and we made out a bit but nothing more," she said quickly with a slightly higher-pitched voice. 

"You're doing the voice thing which means you are lying. Girl don't lie to me I know you too well" Tess replied slightly annoyed. 

"Okay, Okay, we almost but I stopped it. I know that if we did nothing good could come of it because we would just split again. I'm not going back to New York and he is not coming here" Emmalynn said this as if she was uncertain though.
