Falling for My Best Friend, Part 5
When I heard James say that he loved me, I couldn't believe my ears. I wanted it to be true. I was also so afraid that I'd wake up to hear that it had all been a mistake again.
That was the second best night of my life. We were really going to be together.
I wanted every second with him I could get. He was going to be on the road again, and I was so busy with school.
When I'd asked him if we could wait to tell our parents, he didn't want to do it, but he'd agreed to wait until I had my apartment and we were free to do as we pleased.
That day came and went, but I still wasn't ready.
Why wasn't I ready? He asked the me the same thing. He thought I was embarrassed of him. It was the opposite. I was afraid he'd decide what he'd have to go through wasn't worth it. I was afraid he'd walk away from me.
Then it happened. My biggest fear came true. Only it wasn't our parents that caused it. It was me.
I'd lost him.
That was when I decided no matter what I had to do, I'd prove my love to him. I'd prove I was ready to fight for us.
We were going to be together, and nothing was going to stand in our way.
When the knock came at the door, I hadn't thought twice about answering it. When I swung the door opened, everything changed.
The one person I never expected to be standing there was looking down at me, and I knew I was in a world of trouble.
