I’m holding you back
One time my mom caught Hayes and I kissing under the fort.
It was the weekend; sun was just setting. The tv was too loud to hear her come through the door, she was bringing in groceries. She was calling my name, but I couldn’t hear. She’d pull the sheets off and saw us kissing. She didn’t yell though; she didn’t say anything to us at all, except she told Hayes to go home, and he did. Once he left, she didn’t talk to me either, I was confused if I had done something wrong.
Later on, I figured out why she reacted that way, she told me the secret before she died. That secret is the one thing that keeps me from ever loving Hayes in such a way, even though I can’t help but love him in that way.
Later that night, I stayed in the fort, working on the letter I’d give Hayes
