Into
Your
Arms—Chapter
One
We laid there still in the darkness. I was
wrapped in his arms with his hands tangled in
mine.
The only sound you could hear was the
heavy breathing of us both trying to hold back the
tears.
“Meliah,” I heard his voice crack and
wanted him not to cry.
“Adam,” I whispered so I
wouldn’t breakdown.
“I love you.” He
whispered back.
“I know,” I said with tears
starting to spill out, “I love you too.”
“Maybe after the four years are over
we can start again.” I could hear
the hope in his voice.
“I’d like that.”
“I can stop by to see you sometimes,
too. We can talk on the phone. I’ll write to you.” I knew he wanted to make this work. And
for once I wasn’t so sure it would.
“Just promise me one thing.”
“Anything.”
“Promise me you won’t forget
me.”
“Meliah, I would never. I can’t forget
someone I already pictured my whole life with. It’ll work
out, I promise that also.”
I sighed before responding, “Adam, I
don’t know if we’re meant to be
together-“
“We are meant to be together. I
don’t care if you’re minutes away or miles. This will
end up working out.” He said
interrupting me.
“Okay, Adam. But look, if
we’re meant to be together it will happen.”
“Do you not want this to work
out?” He asked with pain in his voice.
“Of course I do. I just don’t
know if it will.”
Instead of reassuring me he squeezed me
tighter. I held on hoping maybe if I latched on long enough that
I’d never have to let go.
“This isn’t goodbye, more like
a see you later. Okay?”
“Okay then, see you later.” He gave me one final kiss, one that he
made sure I’d remember.
When I got into my old Chevy pick-up truck
I checked myself in the mirror.
My mascara flooded down my face and my
brown eyes were bloodshot.
“Oh, Adam.”
I whispered before blowing my nose.
When I got home I sprinted to my room and
silently closed the door.
I needed to be alone if only for an
hour.
Adam and I agreed on having one of those
break-ups that don’t hurt.
Well I mean, of course it’ll hurt
still but the ones that give you closure instead of
“it’s over.”
After a year and three months neither one
of us wanted to end it badly.
Especially since we were both crazy in
love with each other.
We would still be together if he
wasn’t going to school all the way across the
country.
The tears splurged out of my eyes and fell
down rapidly.
All I really wanted right now was to
take a dive into him and stay there forever.
But god only knows forever doesn’t
exist.
Thanks anyone who reads this. (: Sorry if
it’s bad. It gets better later on in the story, I swear.
Feedback please?
