338 Words
Arthur drove very slow. I enjoyed our time together as he held my hand we talked about everything.
He even knew I wanted to wait until I was married so I could give myself to my husband and he felt the same way.
When we got to my home my parents we already inside and were shocked to see me walk into the house.
"Go to your room you will never see that boy again." Papa yelled
"Papa please just listen to me please!" I begged
He looked at me with a look I had never seen before.
Papa was scared?
"Rachel you do not understand. We don't want to lose you." Mama said
"How Mama? How are you going to lose me I'm right here. We are trying to do whatever we can to make this right He knows how important my family is to me."
"NO!" Papa yelled
He left the house without another word
I wanted to go after him but Mama stopped me
"Rachel you need to listen to me very carefully. If you try to do this they won't aloud it and then they will sun us all if he fails."
"Why Mama"
"It's just the way it is. So you need to think is this what you really want."
I couldn't leave my family but my heart was breaking
I walked outside to speak to Arthur and saw him turn to walk away from my father and hit the ground on his knees
I ran to him
"I can't" he said
I began to cry and he stood up.
"I won't take you from your family and your way of life I know how much it means to you."
I loved him in that moment and I never wanted him to go but I couldn't leave my family.
"I know we just met Rachel but I love you and could never make you chose. Please don't cry I can't bare to see you cry."
"I love you too"
He kissed me and then was gone.
I didn't know if I would ever see him again and the pain I felt was like nothing I could ever explain.
