Chapter 2: Emiley
#2 of Secrets Within
Samii looked at me with painful eyes before I could step out of the car. I did not care. I just wanted to hold his hand and be with him like this forever. I squeezed his hand and contemplated whether to hug him with my other hand. Samii once again snarled and pulled out of my death grip. My hand reached out for him but he was already out of the car. I got out of my side still facing the car. Suddenly I felt his arms pulling me towards him. I gasped but didn't move. I just closed my eyes and held onto his hands as if he might just run away again now that I was out of the hospital.
He leaned down while my eyes were still closed and kissed my neck lightly. I shuddered at the touch of his lips on my neck. He chuckled lightly before I felt him tense again. He grabbed my hand and untangled himself from me. He led me up to the door like I didn't live here. We stood there, looking up at the door and the mail-filled mailbox. "How long was I in the hospital?" He squeezed my hand. "About a week." I looked up at him in shock. I didn't want to ask the obvious questions that still floated in my head. Reading my mind he said, "I'll tell you everything later."
I patted my pockets remembering that I had my key in my pants. I looked down and almost panicked. Samii laughed when I looked up at him. "What's so funny?!" "He pulled out the key I had given him ten years ago and unlocked the door. I stared at the tiny key I had my parents make me when Samii was still living a few blocks away. I gave it to him to sneak into my house when my parents left or in the middle of the night. "You kept that?" I couldn't believe he would still have it. "Of course, I knew one day I was going to have to see you again before my broken heart killed me, so I kept it hoping one day that would come." Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. I couldn't help it any longer. I pounced on him and hugged as hard as I could as tears came running down my face fast.
He stumbled backwards trying to hold us both up. I sobbed in his jacket as he hugged me tighter. He put a hand on my head and let his fingers slide down, swimming in my hair. "Don't ever leave me again!" He gasped at my sudden outburst. "I loved you so much and I still do! So please... Don't ever leave me!" I heard him whimper as tears fell from his eyes and hit my head. "I won't. I will never leave even if my life depends on it." He flinched at the last few words. He started to pull away but I just held him tighter. We stayed there for a while until I was about to fall asleep from crying and using all of my energy to hold onto him. I started to collapse but Samii caught me and carried me once again. He struggled but opened the door and walked inside. He put me down on the couch and I slowly let sleep take over my senses.
