"I want to show you off to everyone, my sweet Adelaide," Isaiah's text read. "You can't, Isaiah, you're not here." Tears pricked at my eyes as I sent a text back. Long distance hurts so much. Why did he have to live so far away? My phone went off, bringing me out of my thoughts. "What if I was?" I shook my head as I read the text, refusing to let him fill me with false hope. "You're so far away, love." As I typed I began sobbing. "What if I was closer than you think?" -------------------------- A/N: DISCLAIMER: This book is not suitable for anyone who is under the age of 15, or anyone who has severe depression and/or anxiety.
