Chapter 5: Somewhere Only We Know

A long hum pounded loudly against her ears. She got up and looked at the screen, flashing a face she missed. Flashing a face she had dreamed about. Flashing a face she had wished to see. Flashing a face that she had missed for what seemed like an eternity. Flashing a face that made her gasp.

Where have you gone

She didn't know if she gasped in surprise. Didn't know of she gasped in fury. Didn't know if she gasped at the sheer complexity that had become the distance between her head and her heart. She couldn't know. Meet me. It told her. She let it fall to the ground, next to her feet, feeling the antenna graze her foot as she rushed out the door. She rushed for the place that held their first moments together. She rushed for the place that housed her heartbreak. She rushed for the place that could rebirth the Jude that wasn't so broken.

I need something to rely on

He paced the docks, his feet rumbling against the salty rocks. He looked at a fraying knot of a fisherman that had docked earlier. He wondered how much earlier. He wondered where he had been when the knot was tied.

Sat by the river

He wondered where she had been when the knot was tied. He wondered where they had been when the knot frayed. He wondered if he had untied the knot he had tried to so hard to secure. He wondered if he had frayed it beyond repair. All that he had done, all the distance he put between them, all the times he walked away or pushed her away or shooed her away, if it all just withered away a bond that love couldn't fix. He wondered if he had ruined it for himself. He wondered if he had ruined it for her.

I'm getting tired and

She saw a man's frantic pacing stop as he hands slowly cradled a fisherman's knot his fingers grazing over the loose ties. She held a breath, stopping it from passing through slack jaw and open lips. She held a breath, stopping her thoughts from passing through her mind and roaming to pollute her heart. She held a breath and hastened her pace. The man's back spun to met her. To reveal that face. That face she dreamed of. That face she cried to see. That face she wished for. His face.

I need somewhere to begin

Pattering steps wavered through his ears, clomping through his thoughts and stomping through his worries. He spun around to see someone running.

Faster.

He saw miles between them. He saw heartbreak between them. He saw his actions between them. He saw all the things that were between them, all the things that pushed her away but seemed to bring her closer. She was far away but merely feet before him.

Faster.

Her distance was closing. His breaths were numbing. Her pants rang out to his racing pulse. He steadied it to the time of her steps. Faster. There she was, he could reach out and touch her.

Faster.

She was in his arms, her feet had stopped running and is heart knew no longer what to do.

So why don't we go

She opened her cherry lips that matched the crimson in her flushed cheeks. She whispered a small hello. A small hello that lasted hours. A small hello that said too many things. A small hello to Tommy Quincy.

Somewhere

His pursed lips cracked open, returning the hello but longing to brush against hers. His head dipped slightly. His eyes met her gaze. His lips trailed along her, sweeping a thousand fiery kisses on her all at once. She wound her hands around his back, bringing his closer. Bringing him back. Making him new. Making her whole.

Only we know.
