When You Reach Me Novels & Stories

And just before the door shut completely— My phone vibrated in my pocket. Unknown sender. One line. You just went where they can’t reach you. The door sealed. The floor dropped. And the city disappeared above me.

Sent back one transmission. Three words. I will come.

In my mind eye, I saw everything I had, everything I worked for flush down the drain. The pain on Raze's face at this fact seemed to stick in my brain and it was the only thing I was seeing in my mind's eye. I fell at my own feet and I crawled to where the phone was. I picked it up to see that whoever this person was, they were very impatient, "meet me at the cliff by 9 pm this night, tell no one or who ever you tell will join the moon goddess before the day runs out. Come alone as well." Is the added message and I struggle to swallow.

Waiting for me. My phone buzzed again. One word. Hurry.

“Reach for her.” Everything in me goes still.

I was trying to reach myself. And this time— I waited to see what would answer.

I'm on my way to you. *****************************************

"Try it, and you'd see. It won't hurt to try." "When such a time reachs, then I'll reach out to you so don't forget your promise." Promise. Why did I remember that after all these years. I do have someone I can turn to, someone who I can reach out to. I have to go back. I have to reach for that hand. I have to take that hand and not let go. I'll reach out for that hand, I'll grab it, it's just a little further.

“So how do we get back to him? Tell him we’re interested in what he has to say, did he leave a phone number?” “Hold on a sec.” He got up and went in search of the letter, read through it, “yes, just one.” Aine sent up a prayer for guidance and blew out a breath, “Alright. Let’s give him a call.” She had chosen not to say a word, but Bryan had left the call on loudspeaker so she could hear all that was being said. His voice hadn’t really changed and it took her to a time and place that she had truly forgotten once ever truly existed.

I need to heal more nowadays. Okay, I'm done with the depressing stuff. And I'd like to say that I'm shocked at my actions right now. Usually, anyone who asks me this would get a cold shoulder from me, but you got an answer, and in the shortest amount of time possible. We've known each other ( will I call is talking via email knowing each other?) for less than two weeks. Huge achievement on your part.
