Right Behind You
Chapter

As soon as we
pull up to the park, I jump out of the car and start running
towards the beginning of the trail. "You won't make it
very far." My mom shouts from the car when she gets out.
I'm already at the arch in front of the trail, but she knows
how much I hate running.
"I don't care. The sooner I reach him, the
better." I'm able to run about half of the way, before I
stop and walk until I reach the beach. Slowly turning in a
circle, I can't find him anywhere. "Damion!?" A
single tear leaks from my eye. Where is he? I turn around again,
feeling lost. I feel a hand on my shoulder and scream.
"It's okay. I'm here." It's
him. "Why are you crying?" He pulls me in, my head on
his shoulder.
"I was so worried about you." I look up
into his eyes, also swimming. "Oh, Damion. Promise me
something, please?" He nods. "Never - EVER - be afraid
to love me. Please."
Damion laughs. "I think I can do that." He
takes my hand and we walk down to the beach.
As we sit down on the cold sand, he immediately
turns to me. "Did you bring the note?"
"I did. Here you go, my kind sir." He
takes it from me.
"Look at the note on front here." He
points at it, and I nod. It
reads, "If
you need to taLk and damiOn is unaVailablE -- onlY Open in this
sitUation." I remember thinking his hand must've been
shaking when he wrote it.
"See those capital letters?" Oh, that
makes so much more sense. "Put them together." It takes
a minute.
"Damion?" I don't know what to say. So
I sigh.
Then he leans towards me, whispers,
"It's true," and kisses me.
Note: Really short chapter. But whatever. If you want pics of
Seven Bridges, search "seven bridges milwaukee" in
google images. The first bridge begins in an arch, and on one
side of the arch it says "Enter
this wild wood and view the haunts of
nature."
On the other side it reads "May
the God given peace of this lonely solitude rest upon and abide
with thee."
