Our Messed Up Lives

13 Stay

That night I anxiously awaited Em to arrive. When she finally did I let her in and pushed her to the wall, cupped her face, and kissed her lips.

"I missed you."

She smiled. "I missed you too."

I held her hand and I walked her to my room. I let go of her hand and walked to my bed and laid on it, with my hands crossed behind my bed. "So what are we going to do tonight. Watch a movie?"

She shrugged and walked over to my bed and sat down. I leaned up on one elbow. "You alright?"

"Yeah." She said looking unsure, "I'm fine."

I didn't believe her but I just let it slide. "Come here." I said opening my arms. She scooted over and laid her head down on my chest. I brushed my fingers through her hair. "Baby what's wrong?"

She began to sob. "I don't know, anymore."

"If it help I don't either. I know I like you. And that's enough for me."

"I shouldn't be here. I should go."

"Why?" I asked.

"It's just going to be to hard next time."

"What is?"

She looked up at me. "Saying goodbye."

"What's happening?"

"My dad got a job in another town."

My eyes widened. "What are you saying"

"I'm moving.... tomorrow." She started to shake.

I kissed her head. "It's going to be alright."

"No it won't." She started to scream into my chest.

"I'll find a way to get to you if you ever need me, Em. You know that."

She sighed. "I just need to go. Please."

" No. I want you to stay." I pulled her in and began kissing her passionately waiting for her to take the cue I wanted everything about her. And when she did. We were one.
