Letting Go:

"I don't wanna think I made a mistake, I don't wanna think you left me all alone in the dark to sing to you. But most of all I don't want to remember that I was the one that made you do it, me."

"Oh, so now you're happy? Where are you going looking like that, anyway?" Milla asked apologetically.
"To a friend's." I smiled.
"But we only ever hang out Saturdays." Milla sulked.
"I promised. And besides, you always have me to yourself…little miss selfish." I teased as I hugged her.
"I hope you never leave, what'll I do?" she said, putting her head on my shoulder.
"I'll be back. Tell Mickey you're sorry, that you were just upset. He loves you, he'll understand." I said as I grabbed the keys and my bag.
"Be careful…and…have fun." She said as I walked out the door.

I'm nervous as I walk up to his door, he'll be mad, he'll be hurt. Every step I take up those steps feels heavier than the last. Knock, Knock. I stand there for a little longer then knock again, but no one answers. I try the knob and it's actually open.
"Jamie? Jamie…" I call.
I walk towards the back of the house to his room. He's there, still in bed, but he's awake staring at the ceiling. As I step in I slip off my shoes and lay next to him, my head on his shoulder.
"It was me, I did it. I got scared, so I ran. I'll take full blame, every ounce of it." I said quietly, waiting for his eyes to meet mine.
"…I was upset because I thought it was a dream. But then I saw the bed still had your smell and your warmth, so I was hurt…because I didn't know what I'd done to make you go. And I laid here emptying my brain, not knowing why you left. I thought, maybe she's showering, maybe she got hungry…but you weren't there either. Then I thought maybe she realized she wasted her time and that I wasn't worth the wait. And I realized, yeah, I was too sudden…I scared her." He said as he smoothed my hair; looking down at me.
I rolled so that I was above him, straddling his waist; I held his face in my too small hands. "I scared myself, you did nothing."
"But I thought you'd come back, hoped." He smirked sheepish.
"I'll always come back." I said as I ducked to kiss him.
He smiled into the kiss and then hugged me till I had to surface for air. We laid in bed till the sun started to go down, filling the room with its orange glow. We filled each other in on what had been missed and also just laid in silence, holding hands.
He moved his head so that our foreheads were touching, "This is how I know we're meant to be, cause I'd be elated just holding your hand for the rest of eternity…till we turned to stone, and even then my love would show through more than those living in flesh and blood." He said with his special crooked smile.
I closed my eyes and smiled, "I'll love you, even when we're gone. That's the one thing that won't go."

The phone rang to ruin our silence, "Hello," he said, "how many times should I tell you that I want nothing to do with him?! He doesn't even exist to me anymore…yeah that means I don't need his fucking money, I don't want it!... Well then tell him, that's exactly what I've been wanting!... There's no chance in Hell!" he yelled into the receiver then slammed it down.
He sat at the edge of the bed his head in his hands trying to calm his breathing.
"…He finally regrets?" I asked disgusted as I sat beside him.
"After all these years he chooses to believe in God, and now…now he's capable of regret. I hope he burns in Hell." He said, the hate deep in his throat.
"Just don't let it ruin you like it did me…I'm just barely surfacing." I mumbled as I stroked his cheek.
"No, you saved me before I let it ruin me completely." He said as he held my hand to his face and kissed it.
"By the way, my sister is pretty jealous that I've been stolen from her. And she's very selfish, almost always gets her way." I teased as I laid my head against him.
"Well then it's war, because I always get my way… But, I guess I'll compromise since she is family. I'll let you go home at night, how's that?" he joked.
"No complaints here, but I have a feeling she will." I laughed.
"Let's go eat, I've been laying in bed all day in shock so now I'm starved." He said as he threw me over his shoulder and grabbed my shoes.
"Uh… don't you think you should get some clothes on too?" I almost screamed as he slapped my butt.
"Do I have to?" he said with an impish grin.
"I might just die of a jealously attacks, yes!" I said loudly.
"Oh, that I want to see, no clothes for me." He grinned from ear to ear.
"Jamie!" I scowled, "I'll dress you myself." I half threatened.
"Okay, and if your hands wonder that's fine too." He chuckled as he fell to the floor like a ragdoll.
"Jamie!" I complained as I pulled at him on the floor.
"Fine! You're no fun." He joked as he kissed me; setting me on the bed as he found clothes and got dressed.


I thought I'd show another side to the main characters. And I realized I made Milla look like a complete bitch, I thought I'd show the actual Milla and clear up that her actions were out of jealousy.
