His Salvation

Flake

???'s POV

Voicemail. Again

I still don't understand why he's so upset!! Okay, yes I stood him up again but that's not entirely true! I WAS at the will reading...but I was too afraid to walk inside the lawyers office.

I'm a fucking coward.

"So let me get this straight...you went but then chickened out at the very last second?"

"Yes."

"Even though he's mourning and needed you by his side?"

I bite my lip and my best friend Abby looks at me like I'm the dumbest person on earth.

"How could you? He needed you!!"

"He needed Jenna.." I say quietly.

"YOU ARE JENNA!" She screams and I bury my face in my palms. When I created that fake profile it was only to meet people and be myself without others judging me or stressing me out. How was I supposed to predict that I'd meet the man of my dreams and fall in love? Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to reveal the truth but at the same time I don't want to lose him.

But if I don't come clean, I might lose him anyway.

This is fucking stressful.

"What are you gonna do? He must be steaming mad if he's not answering you at all."

I slumped down in my room and cried my eyes out on the bed. Like the food friend she is, she just walked over and held me the whole time. I can't believe I let things get so out of hand. Now here I was, with a choice to make.

"Let me just ask this...do you love him?"

I nodded my head fast, without any doubt or hesitation. Kaden has my heart.

"Then you need to try to make this right and tell him the truth."

I took a deep breath and stared into her eyes before nodding again. I lifted up my phone and went to my messages. I needed to do the right thing and fast before I lost the courage to do so. I selected his name and smiled at the adorable contact picture he took just for me to use. With a tear running down my face, I typed in the text message that would hopefully win him back.

Baby, please answer me. I know you're upset but I need you to know that I did show up. You were wearing the black Nike hoodie and matching joggers I suggested you buy when you were at the mall. I got nervous and ran away when you needed me. Please understand, you are the love of my life! I want to get married and start a family and just be with you. I'm so sorry baby, I really am. Call me back please? I miss you and I love you Kaden Smith.

I took a final look before pressing send.

I plopped back down in my pillow and curled up into a ball as Abby rubbed the small of my back.

"How about we order a pizza to get your mind off things?"

I whimpered a small yes before she got out her phone to order dominos off the app.

No amount of food could distract me from my one and only though.
