Jack POV:
Lily's message grounds me, she is right how stupid of me to suggest going with her when I haven't even meet her, but I know she needs the support and I want to be there for her. Since that day at the ballpark, I can't stop thinking about her. All I think about is her smile, the easiness with which she carried herself, and counting down the hours to be able to talk to her again. I think I am losing my mind, like I opened the floodgates that day.
I text her back, because I want her to know I am there for her.
You're right. please keep me posted
I am here for you, always.
I know
Its Thursday morning and I have not been able to sleep, beside the text from Lily that she arrived to South Carolina, I have not heard anything and it is driving me bonkers. I am back from the road games and I'm driving myself crazier by the minute. Being at home is not helping, when I want to be with her, console her and just hug her. These emotions have me feeling like I have whiplash and completely out of my element. These weren't even feeling I had with Sam and that is the part that scares me, though I know I can't ignore it anymore.
It's Friday and I am getting out of the shower when I hear my phone ping. When I pick it up I see a text from Lily, thank goodness. I open it faster than I knew I could.
Hi.
Hi? Just Hi? I feel my heart rate starting to pick up in panic. She has never just said Hi, not Lily. My Lily always has a quirky question or comment that makes me smile, not a Hi that makes me panic.
Hey.
On my way back, just wanted to let you know.
Good news, hope all went well?
I wait for a response that never comes in.
**Sorry for the short chapter, I felt stuck on what I could do for this chapter**
