“I just don’t understand, he’s been talking about how much he’s missed you since you’ve been gone. How he couldn’t wait to see you again. Then he goes and treats you like this?” Vic shakes his head.

I’d been at the Fuentes home for about a week. Everybody had been planning their asses off. We knew there was a limited amount of time until the cops tracked me and the girls down. Those stupid druggies must’ve snitched by now, and if I had to leave again I would.
I sighed, “I don’t know either. I guess I really hurt him. So I kind of deserve whatever he dishes out to me you know? I ran out on him.”

“He knew what he got himself into years ago Lee! He knew there’d be times where you’d have to go.” He protested

“Knowing Mike, he probably had some kind of hope that I’d give up all this shit for him. He really does deserve somebody normal to settle down with. I mean the drugs are a thing in the past, and even those could’ve been overcome. Dating a criminal though, that’s a whole different scenario. Then I just leave him. He wanted to be with me for the rest of his life, and I just leave. Fuck!” I exclaimed.

He rubbed my back soothingly. And got up telling me he’d be back in a few. I thought over the plan a bit in my head before I heard the door slam open.


“Get your ass in there asshole! Right fucking now!” Vic growled at Mike who for just a millisecond looked scared.

“Vic don’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to.”

“You both need to talk, and Mike when I say talk I don’t mean make her feel like shit. Leeann talk for you means actually open your mouth and say how you feel. Now stay in here until I say you can come out!” he yelled and slammed the door.

Mike wandered over to the window before I got up with a sigh and made my way over there too.
“Excuse me.” I mumbled while unlocking it and opening it wide enough to shimmy my way through it.

“Where do you think you’re going? Why the hell are you leaving? He said to talk.” He huffed.

I shrugged and closed it back up.
“I figured you didn’t want to talk. I know going out that door wouldn’t be an option, unless I want your angry brother to rip me apart.”

He stared at me for a moment before grabbing my hand, causing a slight shiver to run through my body, and leading me to the bed. He pulled me down with him, and just held me close. “I’m sorry.” He put his finger up when I tried to talk, “No Leeann I’m sorry. Yeah I’m mad you left me, but if I loved you I shouldn’t have talked to you that way I have been. I still do love you by the way. I’ll always love you.” He said it with such an adorable little smile.


I felt a few tears run down my cheeks. “Mike I should’ve called. I should’ve let you know where I was. I shouldn’t have left you. I did though, and I swear I did it all for you. I didn’t want you to get into any kind of trouble for what I’d done. I know you would’ve taken some blame for me, and I just couldn’t let that happen. I love you too Michael. I love you so much it hurts. You were what kept me awake at night. Always running through my mind. You’ve always been the one thing on my mind though. I have you to thank for helping me through all the shit I’ve been through. I wish I could’ve been better for you. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m just so sorry.”

By then I was full on sobbing, and Mike had a few tears of his own. He leaned down and brought his lips to mine. I missed them so much. The kiss wasn’t for long, but it let me know that he still felt about me the same way he had years ago.

We both fell asleep shortly after. Having his arms around me again was something I cherished. It made me feel whole again having him next to me.

If all went according to plan, then I’d be able to be with him like that for the rest of our lives. Things would prove to be harder and harder though, as the days went by.
