.I'm at a loss, Glenn."I sat on the old stump of one of the willow trees we had lost in a fire awhile back.I had made my way back to 'our' spot somehow.I hung my head in my hands, and if I weren’t so pissed, I probably would've cried.How do you choose between two futures? On the one hand, I had a full ride scholarship to play ball in Arizona, but on the other hand, I had this amazing girl that I would do anything to have as my own, possibly for forever.Knowing she would most likely never return to Arizona is what was causing the biggest conundrum of them all."Bro, I can't tell you what to do.I know how hard you've worked to get to where you are, but I see the way you look at that girl.Unfortunately, you have to either make a decision, or let her know that you can do both if needed.You can always come back and visit, and she can visit you.She's goin' into her senior year, yeah?""Yeah." I whispered."Well see, if y'all can make it through one more year, y'all will be golden.That's the only advice I got.""Thanks, man.I'm just not sure how to feel about it all, ya know?""I hear ya."My head snapped up when I heard rustlin' in the grass beside me.I turned my head in the direction of her house, and caught sight of her beautiful, mascara-ridden face.Shock shot across her face and I jumped up, makin' my way over to her."Glenn, I'll talk to you later."I hung up before he could respond and I ran to Kayla's fragile frame, standing a few feet away from me.I pulled her deeply into my embrace.I wanted to make sure she felt protected with me, regardless of the situation.My fingers pushed through her long russet tendrils, pulling her head into my chest.I needed her to understand how I felt about her, even when words were failing me."Are you okay?" I whispered into the top of her head so softly I wasn't even sure if she had heard me.She shook her head in my chest and I could feel the tears soaking through my shirt.I wanted to take all of her pain away.I wanted to be the one person she could always count on, but even that seemed impossible at the moment.There wasn't anything I could say to make this situation better or even tolerable.I needed her to know how I felt about her, but I wasn't willing to put it all out there, when she had made no attempt to let me know that was what she wanted to hear."What is she doing here?"It felt like an eternity before she finally pulled back away from me enough to answer."She wants me to come home." Her voice was strained, and I could tell that she had been yelling."Are you fuckin' kidding me? How the hell could she possibly think that you would go?"I was livid now.I wanted to storm into her grandparent's house and ring that bitch's neck.Woman or not, she deserved it.I was beyond pleasantries at this point.Her mother deserved everything that was about to come her way."Trust me, I don't want to go, but what other choice do I have? She told me that my grandparents called and asked her to take me back.She said that they practically begged." The tears were now falling endlessly down her puffy cheeks.I cradled her face in my capable hands, wiping the tears away with the pads of my thumbs."I don't believe that for one fuckin' second, Kayla.I know your grandparents, and I know that they would never agree to this if they knew the entire story.Were they around while you two were talkin'?""No of course not.Momma said they called her out here and then asked her not to wake them while we talked.She wants me to leave right now.She all but packed my bags for me.She's waitin' inside for me, but I told her I needed to say good-bye to someone first."My hands fell to my sides in anger, exhaustion, defeat, I'm not quite sure.A million different things were floating through my mind at that moment, and not letting her go was at the top of that list."What about, us?" I pointed between the two of us.I knew I sounded selfish, but something this good, can't be wrong or this short lived, right?"I'm so sorry Madison.Believe me, if there was another option, I would take it in an instant.The feelings I feel for you, are somthin' I've never felt before.It doesn't matter though.I'm not wanted here."My hands pushed back through the sides of her hair, as I pulled her mouth to mine.I put every last ounce of emotion I had left in me, into that kiss.Her lips were soft and inviting and I wasn't about to turn down that invitation.My tongue swiped along her lower lip and she immediately granted me entrance.She tasted sweet and salty from her tears.I deepened the kiss, pulling her up into my arms.I reached down and gently wrapped her legs around my waist.I slowly walked us over to the small patch of grass that was hidden by a small shed.I pushed her back up against the shed, with more force than intended.It must not have fazed her, because she was grappling with my shirt as she deepened our fervent kiss.We abandoned all caution and stood in that moment, just she and I.I had to have this girl, feel her, and love her, even if it was only for a night.I needed this more than I needed air to breathe at the moment.Nothing could ruin this moment with her.Nothing!Chapter 19KaylaHis hot tender kisses touched me in places I had never felt before.Every ounce of me was a live wire, as electricity sparked with every touch.The pain in my leg no longer existed and all I could think about was Madison and his tender touch.My back was still pressed firmly against the wooden structure, and at one point, I worried about splinters, but now, now I welcomed any splinters I could get.They would serve as a reminder of the most magical night I would ever have
