If He Had Been With Me Summary Novels & Stories

It wasn’t as if I had suddenly grown a second head or something. “Come with me.” He said, pulling me along.

“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.

It felt like he was finally paying attention, like maybe he was ready to be a part of this. "You didn’t have to come with me," I said, glancing up at him. "I could've managed alone." Kai shrugged, his hands casually shoved in his pockets as he walked alongside me. "I wanted to," he said, his voice surprisingly soft. "It's... my child too."

“Don’t you want to go and see how your friends are?” “Ahh,” I said and blinked and he laughed at the startled expression in my eyes. Rarely anything starled me. But I had realized nothing was the same when I was with him. So it didn’t really surprise me that I had almost forgotten the most important people in my life. It made me slightly guilty. My brain, body and everything else acted differently in the presence of Mateo freaking Storm. “Come on, let’s go, and if you are a good girl, maybe I will show you-” he shrugged as he walked towards the door.

However, the fear that always crippled me never came. Maybe because I had braced myself for it, or maybe because I was too excited to even care. I was going to be with him. In a sense that I was going to be by his side, from now till… I don’t know. Till they decide to kick me out of their den.

It would be a bonus if I had him on my side. “I know it’s my fault you are in this predicament.” if I didn’t invite you to my table, you would not have been shot . I didn’t miss the fact that he had not answered my question directly. “I touched his arm , hey it’s not your fault I wanted to be with you, nobody could have predicted what would happen. and hopefully when I am all healed up, you make it up to me I said winking at him playfully. He laughed, before walking towards a big looking door.

I sighed, knowing how the silly one could see right through me. "Kinda. But not exactly." I mumbled. "I am in all ears." I spent a good minute in silence, then started telling him about what happened before I came to meet him. I told him about the conversation I had with Ma and how it ended. Finally, I asked him what he would do if he were Bright.

I couldn’t imagine how useless I would have been for anyone or anything if he had actually dumped me. Ugh. I couldn’t even think about that without feeling a little jolt of panic running through my system. I was so glad that we had worked things out. I knew there was still a lot to handle going forward, but I had every confidence that we could do it, as long as we were both still there and committed and willing.

And he walked right past me **

I tried to clarify but he walked away with Alex in his arms. What have I done?
