Run Away for my Baby

Chapter 16

Ollie

I was leaving for college tomorrow, I was scared, nervous, and excited. I knew I was going to miss Holly and Jamie but I was glad I was going to get away from Alyssa, she had been driving me crazy the last couple of months.

Carley still hadn’t returned and I knew that it had taken toll on both my best friends. Holly was distracting herself by looking after Jamie and spending time with Olivia. Jake was working nine to nine and spending all his free time with his baby girl, I knew that he missed her the most. Jake hadn’t even looked at another girl since she had left and I knew that he would never again.

Now to my little boy, he was looking so much like me, he had the same dark hair and blue eyes that he would be the spitting image of me one day. He had cheeky little smile when he saw either Holly or I that would light up the whole room. His laugh was irresistible and sweet. I loved him so much.

“Ollie have you finished packing?” Mom asked as she walked into my room. Mom and Wes came down the other day to help me get ready for college. Mom instantly fell in love with Holly like I did and Wes enjoyed hanging out with Jamie on the beach, apparently he was teaching Jamie to swim but I knew that Wes loved my son very much.

“Yep almost, just got to pack Jamie,” I really wanted Jamie and Holly to come with me but I knew that a college campus wasn’t a good place for a young baby to be.

Mom laughed, “You can’t take him with you.”

“I know Mom but I’m going to miss him.”

“Yeah I know but you’re going to see him every other weekend, plus it’s only a forty minute drive away, if there’s an emergency you can get here quickly.”

“I just don’t want to leave them on their own.”

“Holly has many people to support her here she won’t be alone and she knows if she needs help she can call you.”

“I’m worry that she’ll realise that I’m not a good father and not let me see Jamie.”

“She’ll never think that, she’s in love with you stupid and you haven’t told her that you feel the same way. You still love her don’t you?”

I’m shocked by what Mom’s saying, “Yes I still love her, Mom. I’ll always love her.”

“Good,” she kissed my forehead. “You’ve made me proud.”

I spent the rest of the day with my family, which included Jamie and Holly, I was going to miss them to death. Holly, Jamie and I sat on the water’s edge watching as the waves moved in and out, Holly’s head rested on my shoulder and Jamie was wrapped in my arms. “I’m going to miss you so much,” I whispered to them as I wrapped an arm around Holly.

“I’m going to miss you more,” she told me back.

“Impossible,” I turned to her. I looked into her beautiful blue eyes and smiled, “Definitely impossible.” I leaned my forehead against hers and slowly lowered my mouth to hers. It was a short, sweet kiss but it warmed me from deep inside. We pulled away briefly before reconnecting our lips again. I bit her bottom lip and she let out a quiet moan which started a reaction within me, my pleasure levels had risen, I wanted her. I could feel my pants tightening as we kissed, I just wanted to take her.

We only pulled away when Jamie started crying and even then it was reluctantly. I didn’t feel guilty for what I had done, I didn’t love Alyssa, and I had never loved her. Alyssa was my go to girl for whenever I wanted sex basically. Yes she was my girlfriend but I never had real feelings for her, like I do for Holly.

Jamie’s crying broke me from my thoughts, “Let’s get him inside.” I pulled Holly up using one hand as the other was holding Jamie. We walked back to the house hand in hand.

As soon as we entered inside Alyssa came skidding around the corner. She threw herself at me when she saw that I was standing in front of her, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”

“Sorry I was outside,” I told her handing Jamie to Holly.

“So I was wondering if we could spend your last night here together,” this shocked me for a moment, I was quick enough to see Holly pale in colour before she walked off. “I thought that we could have sex because we haven’t been together in a while,” almost nine months, “I miss you being inside me, I love you Ollie,”

This statement shocked me, we never talked about our feelings towards each other, I didn’t realise she felt this way about me. I now felt guilty for not feeling the same way about her. “Lyss, I can’t spend the last night with you because my mother is using my bed, me and my brother are taking up the sofas in the sitting room.”

“Oh,” she sighed. “Fine maybe when I come and visit, we can have some fun.”

“Sure,” I lied.

“I’ll see you soon,” she left hurriedly.

I spent the night lying next to Holly but had hardly any sleep as I watch her next to me, I was worried how she would cope on her own but I was going to college for her and Jamie, I just hoped that she would be proud of me.

I left at ten o’clock in the morning, I hugged Olivia, Mike and Tom goodbye, before going to Holy and resting my forehead against hers, “I’ll miss you so much.”

“I miss you already,” she told me back.

“I know, me too,” I kissed her forehead lightly and pulled back to collect Jamie from Mom. I held him so tightly because I didn’t want to let go, I wanted with me for the rest of my life, I loved him so much. “I love you Jamie, I’m always going to be here for you.” I kissed him multiple times before handing him to Holly. I kissed her one last time on the forehead, “Look after him for me.”

“Always,” she whispered back as I climbed into the car with Mum and Wes. They were taking me to the college campus.

The journey there didn’t take too long but the quietness of the car made it feel twice as long as it should have been. When we arrived we found my dorm room which I was sharing with another guy in one of the main dorm buildings. I set all of my stuff on my side of the room and turned back to Mom and Wes.

“Good luck Oliver,” Mom smiled proudly.

“I can’t believe that my brother is going to college before me,” Wes laughed hugging me tightly.

I laughed back, “Look after her for me.”

“Sure brother, for a little while anyway, I need to get back to Jade.”

“I knew but check in on her once in a while.”

“I will Ollie,” Mom hugged me.

“Thank you both, I love you guys.”

“We love you too,” Mom smiled. “Well I guess we’d better leave you to get settled in.”

They left after a few goodbye hugs and promises to visit me soon. I was ready now for college, I just hoped that everything back home was okay.
