Still There (optional)
“I will always be here for you. No matter what.” His words rang in your head as you stood there in your wedding dress. It had been 3 years. You wondered where he was and if he had meant those words. Your mom walks in and before you can voice your feelings, she knows. She knows exactly how you feel and what you’re about to say. She hands you her phone. “It’s in there. You do what you need to do.” You call the number and hold your breath while it rings. Once he picks up and you hear his voice you’re flooded with emotions. “Is she okay? Did something happen?” Your breath hitches and he lets out a small gasp. You’re the first to talk. “Did you mean it?” He laughs and you’ve never been more happy because he knows exactly what you mean. It isn’t like it is with your fiancé. You don’t have to explain, he just knows. Even after all these years. “Of course. Those words will always be true.” And you smile. You look at your mom and she’s crying. You realize you haven’t smiled this big since you left. “Well then, where are you?” He can hear the smile in your voice. “I’m already on my away.”
