Camp Check

The chase

      I ran after Abbey called her name and telling her to slow down. She finally just fell to her knees in the grass.

      "Abbey are you ok." I asked as I sat next to her.

      "Do I look ok? I cant believe she said that." I couldnt believe it either to be honest.

      "Well if it helps I slapped the shit out of her. And look at me." I grabbed her chin and held her head up. This woman has been through so much.

      "Who cares what one girl says." I say lovingly. I open my arms up for her to lean into. She could use a shoulder to cry on.

      She leans into me and hugs me tight. She starts bawling on my shoulder. I pull back and wipe the tears off her face. She looks into my eyes like she's searching for something. Then she looks at my lips and back to my eyes. I do the same letting her know that I want to kiss her too. She leans in and kisses me. Omg I can never get enough of her kisses. I gently take my hands and put them on her hips, this time knowing how she needs to feel safe. I think she knows that I'm trying beacause she jumps again, but doesnt stop me this time.

      I pull back from the kiss and realized what I'm getting her and me into. I realized how it can ruin her whole life and I start to cry from the realization. I can't do that to her. She's been hurt enough.

      "Jody whats wrong." She asks worriedly.

      "I-I cant be with you Abbey, I'm sorry." I say trying to calm myself down. I can't let her change my mind.

      So I get up and run to the dorms. I hear her behind me calling my name but I can't bring myself to stop and face her. I run down to the basement and into the bathroom and lock the stall door.

      She runs in the bathroom and asks why I cant be with her. I told her because im 17 if someone told then she would lose everything and most likely go to jail. I told her that I can't be the reason that she loses anything, I won't put her through that pain. She told me she didn't care and that she would rather go to jail, and be hurt then not be able to date me.
