Deceased

It
doesn’t matter how many times I say it or how many different names I give it,
it still means the same thing. One of these days I’ll be nothing but a passing
memory, a familiar face in a forgotten photo. But there's three things I need
before this life of mine ends . . .
I
need to tell him I love him more than life itself.
I
need to feel the strength of his arms wrapped around me just one more night.
Most
of all, I need him to forgive me.
Eight
years ago I broke the heart of the only man I’ve ever loved and today I’m
moving home in hopes that he’ll let me put it back together. I’m not sure how
many breaths I have left, but I’ll use each and every last one fighting for
what I destroyed.
My
name is Laney Jacobs and this is my journey.
Excerpt
My eyes catch on a
formation and I sit up, squinting, trying to figure out if I found it. I look
at Levi and smile. “There, it’s right there.” Closing one eye—because everyone
knows that helps you see better—I point to the stars and trace my finger around
Corona Borealis.
“No way.” Levi sits up and leans toward me so the sides of our heads are
touching. “Well, I’ll be damned.” We both turn to look at each other at the same
time and our noses nearly touch. His smile slowly fades as his eyes drop to my
mouth. The air around us grows thick and my heart hammers inside my chest. I
want so badly to grab the back of his neck and yank him to me, but I refrain,
knowing this is a step that he needs to take.
To my dismay, he clears his
throat and backs up, putting space between the two of us. “Um … so … what do
you want?”
“What do you mean, what do I want?” I ask, still too caught up in the moment to
fully comprehend what he’s talking about.
“You won. So you get to pick your prize.”
“Hmmm.” I flop back down on the ground and tap my bottom lip with my finger.
What do I want? “Nothing. I don’t want anything.” I look to the sky and then
back to Levi. He lowers himself to the ground and looks over at me.
“Nothing?”
“Nope. This is perfect.” Our eyes stay locked for several seconds, but the
connection is too intense and I have to look away or I’ll physically melt. “I’m
just glad we got to spend some time together, just you and me. It’s been really
nice, Levi. So this is it. You’ve already given me what I want.” I take a deep
satisfying breath, chancing a quick glance back at him. He’s grinning from ear
to ear, and I swear that his smile alone could light up the darkest of nights.
His features have softened, his eyes are sparkling with happiness, and I’m glad
it’s directed at me.
“Okay.” His warm voice evaporates into the evening air and I sigh, knowing that
right now, in this very second, everything has changed. We seem to have found
our footing again and some sort of peace, and I can only hope that it will grow
from here.
