Who Are You?

Chapter 11
 

She could see the hurt in my eyes and she hugged me. It felt nice, like I was holding the world in my palm. She released me and then kissed my cheek. Wait, I'm confused.

"Come on. Let's go."
"Where?"
"I don't know. Somewhere. We can change our names, start a life, get married possibly. Maybe have kids-"
"What?!"

As I lay there, it being around 3:00am, I think to myself, Where in my life did I go wrong to deserve this? Sigh.

(Comment, concerns, complaints, compliments? Thanks, loves. And thanks for bearing with me since the last time I posted. Things have been hectic. I'm good now.)
