I'm Gonna Make You Miss Me (Sam Hunt)

Chapter 4- Help Me, Please

~Leila's POV~

I stormed off out of Sam's house. I didn't want to be around him. I didn't know what to do. I could go back home, but I didn't know if that would help. I knew if I called a friend all they would want to do was to beat the shit out of Sam. Even though, that would be nice to do,  it's not right. I still have feelings for him. Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe that is all this is. Just a mistake. Possibly this is just a phase and it's Sam's way of coping with what life has thrown at him. But then again, it may not be. It may be the truth. Maybe Sam really doesn't care. Part of me felt that he cared but didn't know how to show it. I mean, learning your a soon to be father is a lot to take in and I can't imagine it being easy for anyone. He as dreams, just like I do. Who knows if that's going to happen now. He's always wanted to become a country singer, and raising a newborn baby plus accomplishing your dream would never be an easy thing to do. But then another part of me, honestly felt that his dream meant more to him than what his future child and I did. 

I finally made up my mind on what I wanted to do. I was going to go back home. When I say go back home, I mean go back to my parent's house. The town I was born in, the town I grew up in, the town where my mother and father said everything was going to be okay when I got my heart broken, or when I was nervous for going off to college. I needed that now. I needed my mom and dad to just tell me everything was going to be okay. Mom and Dad would be really excited to hear that I'm coming back for a few weeks. I have plenty of money saved up where I can get there and stay there and be financially comfortable, I have a few weeks vacation that I can take from work, and I'm way ahead on college classes, so my instructor would probably be more than happy to know that I'm taking a few weeks away. That's one nice thing about being good friends with your instructor. She's more like a second mother to me. A mother away from home, type thing I guess She's always given advice when I needed it, and she's always been more than happy to help me out as much as possible when I needed it for school. She was great and I honestly loved her like a mother. 

I made all the phone calls that needed to be made. I decided to call my parents last, because in a way, I wanted it to be a surprise but I also wanted to just call and let them know what was going on. I was anxious. It was about a 4 hour trip and I would be leaving in the morning, that is if my parents are okay with guests coming in for the next few weeks. 

I had finally made it back to my apartment. I stopped off at the local coffee shop and ordered a pumpkin spice espresso on my way back. I was in desperate need of some comfort food right now and what better way then a pumpkin spice espresso? Once I had gotten back in my apartment, I pulled my laptop from the counter and sat down on the couch in the living room. I checked my financial status, and just as I had though, I was good to go. I then started to plan out my trip to my parents. I knew where to go, but I wanted to plan everything step by step just to make sure there weren't going to be any issues. I got everything figured out then decided to call my mom to make sure it was okay that I came and visited.

-Phone call (L-Leah, M- Leah's Mom)

M- Hey, honey! How are you?

L- Uhm, I could be better. I was calling to ask you something.

M- Of course! What is it?

L- Well, I was wondering if it was okay if I drove out and came back home for a few weeks. I have time off from both school and work. I thought maybe I could spend some time with you guys and some old friends, but I also need to tell you and dad something but it's something that needs to be said in person; not over the phone. 

M- Yes! Please, do so! We would be glad to see you again, sweetie! Call before you leave in the morning, alright?

L- Alright, Mom. Thank you.

M- You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow, love you. 

L- I love you too.

-End of phone call-

I sighed as I ended the call.  I knew this wasn't going to help everything, but it was a good start. I just need a little while away from here and a little bit of time to get my mind off everything. Plus, it's been almost a year since I last saw my parents. 

It was almost as if I was excited for tomorrow. I knew it was weird to feel that emotion with every thing that has went on the past few days, but it's true.
