Happily Never After COMPLETED

chapter 18

Mike

*5 and a half days later*

I got my things and said goodbye to my parents. I got in my car plugged in my phone and put my phone on shuffle. I turned on my car and drove away.

I can't wait to get Chris. I haven't been apart for him for this long and I'm dying.

I came back to reality to the song Miles away by Memphis May Fire ft Kellin Quinn

I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied. She looks at me and says, "Really, baby, I will be just fine,"
But then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry. And that is when I ask myself:

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me too. So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

Really, I'm so thankful for the people I meet, the places I've been and the things I've seen, but when she's not here it doesn't feel like I'm living my dream. I know they say that no one is perfect, but I swear she's perfect for me and that makes it so much harder to leave.

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me too. So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away. Please be strong, be strong for me. I need you to show me how to change the inside of me. For my heart, for their sake. Be strong, be strong for me!

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, so alone?

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, 'cause I left my heart at home?
She needs me, but I know they need me too. So, God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

I started to tear up because how badly I missed Chris and where he's at and everything that's been going on in our lives.

"Breathe Michael." I said to myself and started the 38 hour drive back home.

*back at home*
it's about 6 am so I drove home and put my stuff inside and left.
I drove to the hospital and went to the receptionist to get him and they gave me his room number

"Floor 13 Room 6." she said happily
"Thanks." I muttered and jogged to the elevator and hit 13.
I got up there and told them my information and filled out paperwork and then he was released to me.

I walked into the room and he was staring at the ceiling.
"Fuck you I'm not taking anymore medicine you piece of shit." he said obviously pissed.
"Chris?, it's me." I said calmly
he shot up and smiled and I ran up to him and jumped into his arms.
he hugged me and held me close.
"I've missed you so much." he whispered into my ear.
"I missed you too, let's go home." I said and got off and we got his things and he changed and we left.
