Novelas y relatos de If He Had Been With Me

I needed him to hold me, to tell me everything was going to be okay. But he was gone and I don’t even know how I would cope up from this life without him by my side anymore.

Just tired. He turned back to face me. "I knew enough to understand that if they found you, you would disappear. So I took you." "And my mother?" His jaw tightened. "She was supposed to come with us." The past tense landed hard. "But she didn't." "No." "Why?"

He was hard. Did that mean that he liked me too? Did he feel what I felt? Fuck, if I had known how deep I would fall the moment I felt him, I would have avoided it.

“If I have to. As long as I know that you’re with me…” And for the first time since all of this began, I didn’t feel like I was standing alone in the fire. I felt like I had someone willing to walk into it with me.

He was just staring at me, so I was confused and debating to myself whether I should turn around and leave or not. "What... Do you have anything else to say?" I asked him again. Honestly, I was expecting us to be civil to each other, or at least friends. "I'll come with you," he said, but I immediately shook my head. Why would he go with me when he was with Lianne earlier, right? "No, Liro, it's okay." I told him. "Maybe Lianne is waiting for you," I added.

What would happen to me now? What a great mistake I had made. My life would have been better, if only I hadn't fallen for him. ***

With Caden by my side, I felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing I was no longer alone in this battle. I love him. Fuck.

Enjoying my home and being happy, because despite so many things, we are together. He and I can handle all these trials, because we have each other. He's had me before I knew it and I... I've always had him. Always.

And why did I want him beside me so badly right now? Had I already become that dependent on him? And if I had, what would I do if he threw me away?

And I was going to be th ere. But so did he. And I needed him as well. Whatever the future held, I wished to experience it with him by my side.
