Running Into Danger

I looked up to see a boy with a bouquet of roses in one hand and a card in the other. Tears were beginning to prick from his eyes. He set the roses beside me and put the card on top of the flowers. He walked back and forth in front of me, running his fingers through his hair.

"You hurt my head too Riley."

"Harry. Why did you follow me?"

"The card explains everything."

I looked over to the card and grabbed it. I starred at it. I'm a bit hesitant to open it. I looked up but Harry was out of sight. I rested my back on my mom's tombstone so I can have better support. I opened the card to see a long letter.

"I'm sorry for hurting you Riley Shawn,
I''m writing this message because I feel really bad, thinking about the way I hurt you makes me really sad. I'm sorry for all the hurt I've caused you and regret the things I've done. I've lost the one girl I've ever loved and it was because of the things I've done. Baby I feel so bad right now, because I've tore your world apart, and now all I can think of is how I broke your heart. These tears that run down my cheeks are filled with sadness and hurt, because I loved you so much. I still do. And now I know that it will never work. I messed up and now I see that you mean the absolute world to me. I know sorry is not enough because I'm such a screw up. But for whatever it's worth I wanted to say, that you cross my mind every single day. The thought of you makes me smile, and I know our love was real, so I'm writing you this letter so that you know how I truly feel. What I really want to say is that I'm truly sorry. I know that you didn't deserve to be hurt like that. I know that you will find someone who will love you and treat you right, they will make you happy and that person won't hurt you like I did. So I'm so sorry for everything I've done. So all I have to say is that I love you and I'm so sorry Riley."

Why are all his letters so perfect? This breaks my heart. His last letter broke my heart too. Both in a positive and negative way. I packed the letter in my bag and looked over to the roses. I picked them up and set them in the pot next to my dad's grave. "Do you think he's sweet for doing this?" I sat facing their graves.

"Love is patient. Love is kind. It just takes time. You'll bicker a lot but if he makes an effort then he's a keeper."

I turned around to see who said that. An older man was behind me. He must run the cemetery. I stood up. "My mother said that all the time."

"Has that young man saved you?"

"Yes."

"Than what are you waiting for missy?"

I turned around and looked at my parent's grave. This was their sign. I didn't know anyone else who said those lines. This was it. "Love is patient. Love is kind. He's always been by my side. I need to be there for him. I don't care if he's hurt me, because every time he's hurt me he's saved me."

I ran out of the gates and looked around to see if his car was still here it wasn't so I ran to his house. I was at the bottom of his driveway. He wasn't home either. Where could he be? I dialed Juliet's number.

"Heeeyyyyyy."

"Juliet. Is Harry back at the party?"

"I don't knooowww." She giggled.

"You're obviously drunk so you won't help me." I hung up. Talking to Juliet when she's in that state won't help me at all. I hung my head down and made my way back home. I walked to my room and changed into pajamas and collapsed on my bed. My phone went off.

From Harry:
I'm glad you made it home safe.

I walked to my window and sneakily pulled the curtain open. He was climbing into his car.

From Harry:
Just because we're not with each other doesn't mean I don't care for you anymore. I still do.

Wait… does he think this is really over? Because it most definitely is not. I'm getting him back whether it takes me days, weeks, months, years. I don't care. He's mine, and I am his.
