Always

Chapter Twelve: Misters & Pictures

   “You just have to take the chance June! It’s going to happen one day!” 

   I stare off in space as Brian rants on. 

   “Just take the chance.” 

   “What if I don’t want to.” It wasn’t exactly a question, just a statement. 

   “June…” Brian placed  a hand on the side of my face, his forehead on mine. “I’m not going to be here forever June. Nobody is. I know you’re scared to take the chance, because you’re scared it’ll be a mistake.” 

   Every word he said was true. “I just can’t lose you now...Not ever.” 

   “I know June, I know.” 

   I placed my hands on his sides, pulling him closer to me. “If I ever lost you, I’d never be the same.” I whisper. 

   “Even if you did, I’ll still be here.” I look into his blue eyes, thinking to myself, I love him. 

   “I want you every moment of my life...Always.” 

   He slightly smiles. “Always June.” When our lips met for the first time, I could feel deep down inside me that I never wanted to let him go. But I was so wrong about that.
