"Thanks for coming" I slurred as I opened the familiar door of that navy pickup truck.
"You know I will always be there for you, no matter what has happened between us. Now get in, it's pouring" the sweet, gentle voice I had always known commanded. I obliged and we rode into the night. The highway seemed to go on forever, as I laid my head against the cold, moist window. It's been a long night, a really fucking long night. Where do I even go from here? Why did Adam come back for me? I did him so wrong, we haven't even spoken in months but I didn't know who I was supposed to call! Everything was happening so fast and all at once and in that moment I guess I knew he would be the only one to actually help me, the only person who would be true to me, no matter what happened in the past I knew he would always be there. Does he even want me anymore? Is there even a hope for us anymore?
I slowly open my eyes, and we are in his drive way. "Adam..." I half cried.
"Shh... we don't need to talk about it and considering the state you are in I don't think you even can right now. All you need to know is I'm here for you Eloise, I always have been. We can go inside, you get your rest, everything else will be sorted out in the morning, okay?" I shook my head in agreement, there was no point in talking about anything tonight when I can barely walk or speak. I opened the car door to get out and I just fell over onto the passenger door, and then all of the sudden I was in his arms halfway to the house, and then in another flash he was tucking me in bed and holding me, a feeling that felt so familiar and comforting, home. He is my home. As I was almost completely immersed in sleep, I felt a soft kiss against my cheek and the words "I love you" fall from his lips. Did I dream that? Or is this real?
