One Summer With You

Chapter 28

I stood up, gave him one last look. It was hard cause I couldn't see his beautiful face that clearly. He stood up with me.
" why? You know what? Don't say... Just leave, and please don't come back". I said as I ran away from him. Me running was something I needed. It felt good. Him left behind me.

I locked all the doors when I got home. Turned the lights off and sat in my room. I hugged a pillow and cried. I cried cause I let myself fall for him. Let myself treat him like I did. I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up to a rainy day. I had a faded memory from last night. Jakes face with agony, me turning away and running. Leaving him and his pain without doing a thing. Then I remembered why, and I closed my eyes. Just do I could think of something better.

When I took a shower and got dressed I walked downstairs. I made myself a sandwich. Sat alone and ate, like every summer I have spent here. It was relaxing. Yet, I wanted to talk to someone. Jeramy!

" hey, it's me... Can you talk?". I asked as I stared at the window. Small water drops, falling as if they had a competition.
" Lisa, your voice.. What's wrong?". He sounded worried, what a good friend he was. He was so kind. Even though when he had no time.
" I- don't tell anyone". I said, if anyone knew I could kiss the thing I had goodbye.
" sure Lisa, just tell". So I did. Everything, but not me and Jake sharing a bed.
He understood, he told me how good I was and how strong I was. For not crying all day. And he was sorry for not being able to visit me.

After the phone call I felt better. It was almost as if I had a bad dream. I looked around and there is nothing here. Nothing that reminded me of Jake.
