He Came Back Running Novels & Stories

But when he saw me, a flicker of hope sparked in his eyes. "Penelope, I've missed you so much." I stepped back cautiously, realizing he was still wearing the same clothes from a month ago. "So, you just got out of detention, huh?" He nodded enthusiastically and took a step forward, as if waiting for me to say something encouraging. "Yes! From the moment I got out, all I could think about was seeing you. "I missed you every single second while I was there. All I wanted was to be close to you and hold you…"

I was confused, stared back at him and he said with a small laugh. “ You didn't run and I forgot.” He said with a laugh, the animal grew closer and I felt its tail scraping against the back of my leg and I winched from pain. “ Ow.” I yelled, the tears stung my eyes. “ Just continue running.” He said with rapid breaths, his palms tightly fixed on mine. He pulled me, looking back at me to make sure that I held tightly. We got into a safe zone and he held my shoulders and asked, “ Are you okay? Did it hurt you?” I shook my head, looking back at the night.. to see if the animal was there.

As he was trying to run, he noticed the men were going in different directions instead of coming his way. That was when he noticed the snake and why they ran. He quickly ran back into the forest. …

“You said—” My breath hitched as I kept running. “Please… just...” My voice dropped into a whisper. “Come back.”

Real life. I hesitated at the threshold. Then I heard it. “Ari!” A tiny voice. High-pitched. Familiar. Kota. He was already running—bare feet slapping against the tile, curls bouncing, arms wide like he was trying to fly. I dropped to my knees just in time to catch him. He wrapped his arms around my neck, tight and trembling. “You came back,” he whispered, voice small and fierce. “You came back for me.” “I did,” I said, holding him close. “I’m here.”

“So we could go on a run together. I happen to already like running with you.” He eyed me. “Sure. I’ll wait for you.” That sounded sarcastic but I hurried back to the house and wore a shirt. By the time I got back, he had gone far. I knew he wouldn’t wait. Jerk! I hurried up to him, running as fast as I could until I was breathless. I eventually caught up with him and he barely spared me a glance. “Do you like this better now?” I asked, gesturing at my shirt.

The truth was simple and immediate — he hadn't gone to " fix things." He had gone back to where it all began. Benjamin was never running from them. He had been running to them instead.

"It's frost, not snow." "Elara." "I'm fine," I said again, gentler. I caught his hand and held it between both of mine. His fingers were ice. "You came back so fast. You must have run the horses half to death." "I would have run myself to death." He sank down beside me and wrapped an arm around my back, pulling me hard against his side. His whole body was trembling. "When the runner reached us, I thought—" "I know." "I left you."
