“I can’t make you forgive me. I don’t deserve your forgiveness. I can’t change the past. All I can do is give you what you want. If this is what you want, I’ll walk away, Blaire. It’ll kill me but I’ll do it.”

              What else could there be? I’d never be the same. The girl he’d fallen in love with was no more. He’d see that soon enough if he stayed. I didn’t have a past. I didn’t have a foundation. It was all gone. Nothing made sense and I knew it never would. Rush deserved more.

              “Goodbye, Rush,” I said one last time.

              The pain that clouded his eyes was too much. I dropped my gaze from his and studied the blue plaid blanket beneath me.

              I listened as he walked toward the door. His footsteps were muffled on the old faded carpet. Then the door opened and the moonlight poured into the dark room. There was a pause. I wondered if he would say more. I didn’t want him to. Every word he said only made this harder.

              The door closed. I lifted my eyes to see the empty motel room surrounding me. Goodbyes weren’t all they were cracked up to be. I knew that now.

“He wasn’t what sent me running. He was what made me want to stay.”

About the Author

Abbi Glines can be found hanging out with rock stars, taking out her yacht on weekends for a party cruise, sky diving, or surfing in Maui. Okay maybe she needs to keep her imagination focused on her writing only. In the real world, Abbi can be found hauling kids (several who seem to show up that don’t belong to her) to all their social events, hiding under the covers with her MacBook in hopes her husband won’t catch her watching Buffy on Netflix again, and sneaking off to Barnes and Noble to spend hours lost in the yummy goodness of books. If you want to find her then check Twitter first, because she has a severe addiction to tweeting @abbiglines. She also blogs regularly but rarely about anything life changing. She also really enjoys talking about herself in third person. www.abbiglines.com
