Okay forgive me if this isn't too good. But just be gentle......Part
6......
I freeze and tense up. No no, no one cant get this close. I feel the need to shove him away. I need air, I can't...not now. The phone's ringing again and I hear myself saying let it go. The machine picks up and it's none other then my grandmother......
"ELIZABETH!!! Where are you? I heard about your mother....I'm so sorry Lizzie. Lizzie? Lizzie pick up the phone. We need to talk about grandpa and I moving in," I hear her sigh, "Alright then, call me back." Beep.
Tears are streaming down my face and I hug max closer, burying my face into his chest and he holds onto me tighter. I don't ever want him to let me go, with him I'm at least protected.
"Liz?"
Max breaks the silence and I look up, thinking I see a flash of pain in his eyes.
"Where's your dad?"
"LA."
"Will he be coming back?"
"Probably."
"Probably?"
"I don't know Max, he left. Let's just not talk about this right now. Just hold me a little longer?"
He smiles gently and he pulls me onto his lap, cradling me. I snuggle up against him and drift off to sleep as he sings softly in my ear.
~It's a little short, I know. Sorry, but my creative burst is on vacation. More soon....tell me what ya think! Eden.~
