was surprised that he would be interested in such a thing.
“Thank you again,” I said as I opened the door. He had quickly raced around the front of the car as I was about to head down my pathway.
“Wait!” he said. “I want to give you my number in the city, just in case you need me.”
“Um, okay, but I never go to the city,” I told him.
“You might in the future,” he said as he grabbed my hand, put the piece of paper in my palm and folded my fingers around it. I shivered, unsure as to why.
“Thank you,” I squeezed my hand into a fist. Hayden quickly hugged me, kissed my forehead and was gone. I stood there staring at the road as he sped away. Why did I have to meet you now? I love Adam, this isn’t fair.
“Adam,” I gasped, turning and running into the house.
“Is that you Nat?” my mother yelled from the living room.
“Yes, mom it’s me. I went out, are you happy?” She appeared in the hall.
“Did you have fun?”
“Well my ride got drunk so I had to come home with a stranger. I felt like such an inconvenience but other than that, well the party was loud and full of hicks, so no, I did not have a good time. But thanks for making me go,” I said, feeling the rage I had been suppressing earlier start to bubble. She just frowned as she began to turn away from me.
“Sorry Mom. I know you were only trying to be helpful,” I said, feeling bad for taking it out on her. She didn’t deserve it.
“I’m just going to grab some water and go to bed?” I said apologetically.
“Of course, I’m sorry the party wasn’t better. I should have known the kids around here would be just as boring as the adults,” she said smiling. I couldn’t help but laugh with her. She didn’t fit in here either, which made me sad, thinking we’ll probably be moving again soon. I’m sure my father wouldn’t stay here long. After I grabbed a mug of water I said “Good night mum,” giving her a quick hug before I ran up the stairs. I threw open my door and quickly closed it behind me. I turned on my lamp.
“Where are you?” I was starting to feel nervous. I couldn’t see him. I didn’t sense him here with me.
“Please, you promised me you would be here!” I demanded. “Adam, I need you,” I begged. He must have seen Hayden drop me off. Was he angry with me? The pain of losing Adam made my throat feel like it was closing. I was having trouble breathing as I looked out my window, towards the river where we first met. The love I felt for Adam was not normal, it was beyond strange. It was an actual physical need. I felt like I had to have him as much as I had to have air. If he was gone then I wouldn’t be able to keep living. I was determined to end my life that night by the frozen river. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here now. I was living on borrowed time. Time he gave me to be with him. He can’t just leave me. The devil is waiting out there for me if he leaves me now.
“Please don’t lead me to him,” I whispered. That’s when I felt Adam’s arms around me. I grasped him tightly as tears began streaming down my face. I turned to look at him. He gently wiped my tears away. He kissed me so sweetly. He was my world, how could he not respond when I called him.
“I’m here now,” he apologized, kissing my eyes, my cheeks and my mouth.
“I’m so sorry. I was jealous of how quickly you were attracted to him. I’m sorry. You belong to me, but I don’t own you,” he said, again feverishly kissing me.
“I wasn’t attracted to him. I missed you,” I tried to explain to him as well as to myself.
“I should not have told you to go. You should not have met Hayden tonight,” he said, as he looked out the window.
“How do you know him?” I asked, feeling nervous.
“He has changed your destiny, he has changed our destiny,” he said quietly, looking away from me again. I grabbed his face with both my hands, looking him in the eye.
“You cannot leave me!” I said
“Thank you again,” I said as I opened the door. He had quickly raced around the front of the car as I was about to head down my pathway.
“Wait!” he said. “I want to give you my number in the city, just in case you need me.”
