~Present~ *Paisley POV*
So far Keylee had done everything but tie me down.
“I’ll kill him!” I kept yelling but she kept saying she couldn’t let me do that, someone is going to get a beat down!
“Paisley you can’t kill him, it’s illegal.”
“Illegal my ass!”
“Do you sleep through Criminal Minds?”
“Only sometimes, just the season wher-” I was cut off by my phone ringing. Yes I was actually going to answer now. We see what accidentally not answering your phone does. Actually my phone is on vibrate right now. So I could have missed a couple texts
2 missed calls- Aiden
5 texts- Aiden
We need to talk. Soon - Two hours ago
Don’t ignore me. - One hour and a half ago
1st missed call
Paisley answer the phone. - One hour ago
Ok now you’re makin’ me feel possessive. - One hour ago
2nd missed call
Well I guess you’ll talk to me when you’re ready, I’ll be awake.
“Keylee look at this.” I moved to sit beside her.
She looked at me, green eyes full of honesty, “Paisley go call him, you’ll regret it if you don’t.”
I nodded and slipped out the backdoor. Dialing the familiar number I waited. Not long, it only rang twice.
“Hey.”
There was a thankful sigh on the other end. “I didn’t think you’d call me.” You could tell he was outside by the birds chirping in the background.
“I’ll always call you back.”
“I shouldn’t have walked away in the alley.”
“Aiden you need time to.”
“Why didn’t you follow me out?”
“Why didn’t you look back?”
“I thought you were behind me.”
“I thought you’d come back.”
“You cried didn’t you?”
I was silent.
“Geez Paisley, you never break down.”
“I know. Sometimes you just can’t help it. Everyone needs a good cry and everyone needs their moments, sometimes it happens at once.”
“.....What happened to me being your comfort zone?”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone knew when times got tough on you, you ran to me. When you and Shain argued, you ran to me. When Tucker dropped you like a hot potato, I was your comfort zone. When everything fell apart, I was the one you called, not Shain. It used to seem that you wanted me to keep you safe from the big bad world and now I don’t. It’s like you hide all the bad things again. There’s a reason the word ‘Faith’ is on the ring, I know you want to remember her but you need to remember one thing.”
Drawing a deep breath, “what’s that?”
“Your problems are my problems to.”
“I can’t run to everyone else when I cross a bridge.”
