What If There Is No Light At The End Of The Tunnel

*Chapter 11*

I whipped my face off with my sleeve and opened to door. Frank was standing there with a black eye. He had bruises here and there. His nose wasn’t broken from the impact. It just bleed.

“I’m… I’m sorry.”; He said, while putting his arms around me. He held me and I didn’t know what to do. He finally let go and kissed me.

“Do you forgive me?”; He asked.

“Of course I do.”

I couldn’t say no. Even though I wanted to.

“Shouldn’t you be home?”

“Yeah. I snuck out to see you.”

“I see. Well, maybe you should go home before you get into anymore trouble.”

“It doesn’t matter to me. Just as long as I get to see you.”

He kissed me again.

“Please go home? For me?”

He looked at me sad and disappointed.

“Fine. I’ll go home.”

He kissed me one more time and started walking down the driveway. I sighed and closed the door behind me on my way in.
