Alexa's pov

I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob.

I messed everything up so bad.

Jacob stuck true to his word and got me a job.

It was with a really great law firm.

The only problem was it was back home.

I called my realtor and told her to take my house off the market.

I was coming back home.

I called the firm and told them I would take the job.

I wanted to fix things with Jacob.

I should have told him my fears instead of just running away like a coward.

I know it's not going to be easy.

I hurt him.

This was all on me.

If I had talked to him maybe we could have worked this all out.

I didn't know how everyone would take me coming back home.

I left everyone behind without a word.

My family, my friends, would they forgive me?

My phone rang which made me jump.

I wondered who would be calling me.

"Hello."

"I just wanted to make sure you got the job."

"Jacob, um yea I got the job so I am heading back home. Thank you for that."

I wanted to say so much more, but I didn't want to do it over a phone.

"Your welcome from time to time we will run into each other because our firm works closely with this firm. I thought I should tell you this so you weren't shocked."

He thought I wouldn't take the job because I could run into him.

Man, I truly messed everything up.

"Jacob, I have no problem working with you."

"Could have fooled me when you quit."

I had to word this very carefully.

I was on thin ice when it came to him.

"Jacob, I had to quit."

"Oh, yea I forgot you had to run away just to get away from me."

"Can we talk when I get home?"

I was holding my breath praying that he would say yes.

"I don't think there's anything else to say. Good luck with the new job Alexa."

"Jacob I'm sorry."

"What exactly are you sorry for?"

"Everything. I got scared and ran I should have talked to you. I know you don't trust me, but one day I hope you can forgive me."

He was so quiet that I thought he had hung up.

"I forgive you but right now I just can't be around you. Goodbye Alexa."

"Bye Jacob.

I would give him time, and earn back his trust.

At least he didn't hate me.

That was a start.

Now I needed to get back home and get my life back.
