Come Back to me:Short Story Read Online Free PDF

closest person to you ,what would you want to do ?  How would you feel?”
    I didn’t answer. I’d probably feel just like Jayse did.
     
    Understanding my silence she smiled. “I know you’re scared. I would be too, but what would scare you more? Him doing something he believes he’s being called to do or keeping him here where he could one day resent you for taking that calling away from him. A man can only take so much before his sanity suffers.”
    Mom looks away and I know then that she’s thinking about my father. He left us when I was a toddler. I wasn’t planned and they were both young. He had a free ride to collage but turned it down to stay with my mother. In those few years together, he blamed her every day for missing out on the life her could've had. He couldn’t handle it and eventually packed up and left. I knew my mother still loved him even though she was angry. She still hadn’t been with another man.
     
    I nodded showing I understood. She patted my hand, standing from the couch. “Think about it sweetheart before you make any decisions.” She kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes, already missing her comfort. “ Now this old lady has to get to bed . I’m pulling a double tomorrow.”
     
     
    I sat on the couch staring for another hour. In that hour I came to a conclusion. Rushing out the door, I made my way over to Jayse’s. All the lights were out but one on the second floor. Knowing his parents were already asleep; I walked around to the back of the house. Jayse had shown me a way to sneak in years ago. I would wait until my mother went to sleep (if she was even there) and sneak over to play whatever new game he got that month. I grabbed the old ladder out from under the shed and leaned it against the house. I took each step slowly and eased onto the bottom story roof. Jayse’s windows sat a few feet away. I tip toed across the shingles not wanting to alert anyone of my presence, then crouched down to knock on his window. I hesitated a moment when my stomach gave a sudden flutter. What if he didn’t want to talk to me?
    Oh well.He would just have to. We had a month. I didn’t want to waste any more of it.
     
    I lightly tapped on the window again. Footsteps made their way over to the window. The curtain pulled back showing a bare chested Jayse, wearing basketball shorts. He raised the window and we sat looking at each other a moment before he spoke.
    “ I was hoping you’d come. If not, I was coming to you.”
    I smiled slightly then climbed for the first time, in my boyfriend’s bedroom window .
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Fourteen: Jayse
     
    I couldn’t form words for the joy I felt when I saw her big blue eyes looking back at me on the other side of my window. I’d paced my room for what seemed like hours waiting for her. I had made a deal with myself,if she showed I would stay. If not? Well, I was still staying. As bad as I wanted to go, I loved AnaLee more.
    I started to tell her as much when she put her lips to mine pressing her body firmly against me. She had done that on occasion but this felt different. It was like the air around us filled with a charge when she kissed me.
     
    She broke away with my face in her hands, holding my gaze. “Go.”  She said.
     
    “What?” I replied not understanding.
     
    “Go. If it’s something you feel you need to do then go,but you better video chat, write , call , text, whatever you can do while half a world away . Most of all-"Her voice dropped to a whisper."- come back to me. Cause I’ll be right here waiting.” Then she kissed me again before I could speak.
     
    She ran her fingers through my hair while letting her tongue slip a little into my mouth. I pulled her hard against me at the feel of her inside my mouth. Ana started  leading us to the bed , I let her until she tried pulling me down with her. She bounced on the mattress in an upright position while I still stood looking down at
