Anna:

I probably only got 3 hours of sleep when my alarm went off. Half of the nerves are because I want to see her so badly. The other half is what if she gets pissed that I'm there. I shook all the thoughts away and took my bag downstairs. My mom had just walked in the door when I got downstairs.

"I just cleaned out the back quick. Are you ready to head out?"

"More than ready."

She smiled at me and held the door open for me. I put my stuff in the back and we were off. Thankfully where we live the airport isn't that far away so it was a quick drive. She pulled up close to the entrance and I gave her a quick hug before getting out. "Call me when you get there!"

"I will mom, love you, and thank you again!"

She drove off and I check my watch. 10 minutes until my plane takes off...CRAP! Thankfully my bag has wheels! I booked it and made it last minute...Literally...Now for a  3-hour nap and I would be there.

Ag: (3 hours later)

My mind was so full of thoughts that my head started to pound. I couldn't shake it...The voice was just always there. What was wrong with me? I pressed my fingers on my temples.

(KNOCK KNOCK)

"Just give me some time!"

(KNOCK KNOCK)

"Leave me alone please!" I wanted to cry even more. Why was either mom or dad so eager to come in?!

(KNOCK KNOCK)

I jumped up and swung my door open, "I SAID... Anna..."

I couldn't believe that she was here my words were gone. 

"Are you happy to see me?"

I could see she was scanning my face. She lifted her hands to my face. "Baby what's wrong?"

I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her. All at once, my tears started to flow. There was no stopping it.

Anna:

I knew something wasn't right! When she put me down I took her hand and sat her on the bed. I went behind and just wrapped my arms around her neck. "You have got to speak to me."

"I can't..."

"Why?" I almost cried with her. Seeing the one you love the most incomplete pain feels like your heart just jumped off a bridge.

She wiped her face, "Anyway your here and that's all that matters." She kissed on the cheek. "I'm going to go clean up, you don't need to see me like this."

As she walked away I grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm here because you're like this. I promise you won't be going through whatever this is alone."  

She sighed and rested her forehead on me, "Come here..." I went with her into the bathroom. She closed the door and put me on the counter. I let my legs wrap around her as she kissed up and down my neck. My hands went under her shirt and grabbed her sides. 

She smiled as we kissed and I was glad her spirits seemed to be lifted, but then we stopped.

I looked into her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Her head dropped, "I really should be getting into the shower."

"Could I join?" I was playing with the laces on her shorts. 

"Not this time bubs, but there will be plenty of more times."

She opened the door and I was out. I grabbed my bag and laid it by the window. Before I leave this will be figured out... I love her too much to let her push me away.
