Life, Friends, Books, Love, and Awesome Coffee

"I can't get my mind off of you." I said. I approached her slowly, and then hugged her.

Sybyla

When Tyler went to take care of the soaking coats I used my cell phone to text Marc.

let me know when you're ready to talk. I wouldn't reccommend it though, I know I'll never be this stupid again, but the "again" is where I have the problem. I do a lot of stupid things. But I love you, don't make that one of the stupid things please.

(Marc Luna)

I punched the punching bag, my fist bloody with pain. I ignored it, took a swig of water when my phone vibrated, meaning I got a text. I read it and shook my head writing back.

***sorry I don't like writing in itallics, the text I'm sending is below***

' when you love, when you hate, when you're early, when your too late. I'll find you through a huge crowd of people because you stand out. God make our arms at our sides because he wanted us to reach out. He put our eyes in the front so we could look forward and not look back and he put our hearts so deep inside so that one special person could find it.... that person it you.... I LOVE YOU'


(Chelsea Luna)

I smiled and hugged him back he stood a good two feet taller.

"Come in!" Chelsea said. I walked inside and sat down on her couch. "Sorry to bother you this
late at night it's just...You don't know how I feel about you. If only I could explain the feeling.."I said .

Sybyla

Tyler was a talker, I felt my cell phone vibrate but felt uneasy about pulling it out in front of him, like if I did, pain would follow.

"Where's the bathroom?" I asked.

"Just down the hall."

"Thanks."

I stood up and once I was out of sight I pulled my cell phone out and I read the message. My heart stuttered and exploded.


Where are you? I'm going to come over. If I can get away from this creep. He's starting to make me nervous.

I pushed send and shoved my cell before I exited the bathroom.

(Chelsea Luna)

"I missed you." I said nd held him again.

(Marc Luna)

'What creep? What are you talking about? I have to leave on my flight in about 7 hrs, hurry I want to see you before I leave'

Sybyla

I didn't care if I made him mad or not, I opened my cell phone and replied to the text,

A guy who pulled me out of the rain when you left, I'm leaving now. I want to go with you.

"I have to go," I said, "thanks for all the help Tyler." I left, forgetting my coat, but not my purse. If I didn't get my coat I had more time.

My cell buzzed when I reached the main floor.

I'm at your place now, please hurry.

I'm on the bus.

(Marc Luna)

I needed to pack my bags and say goodbye. For some reason I felt as if I needed to push her away so that it wouldn't be as painful to me... I reached my door step and opened the door.....

Sybyla

My mind was made up, I was going with him, I'd find some little hole to live in and survive somehow. But it would be possible, with him.

When he opened the door I threw my arms around him, kissed him quickly on the lips and then hugged him tight, never planning on letting him go.

"I'm coming with you," she said, "if you don't mind."

"What?"

"In seven hours when you get on that plane to go back, I'm going with you."

(Marc Luna)

"Syb you can't... Military bases only allow family relitives I mean my sister and my daughters but...." ah shit when was I going to learn to shut my mouth?

She pulled away. "Daughters?"

"Did I foget to tell you I have two twin daughters?" I said wincing...

Sybyla

A sharp pang hit my chest, why didn't he say something? I really didn't care that he did have daughters just that he didn't tell me.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know."

"It's not that big a deal." Slowly my anger faded, there were parts of my history that he didn't know, the man in the lined box under a stone was one of them. "I'm just a little hurt that you didn't say anything..."

I should tell him...I was going to, even though it risked me losing him forever.

(Marc Luna)

"So where's their mom, why isn't she taking care of them, I think it's unfair that she just dumps them on you and then takes off to her little-" She trailed off.

"Syb.... Syb..." I kept saying.

"What?" She said.

"their mom is dead."

"Oh geez, I'm sorry. I just-"

"It's ok, she died a year and a half ago." I finally said.

"So.... what's their name? How old are they?" She wanted to know.

I held her steadily in my arms, her legs were wrapped around my waist.

"Jessica-Lynn and Hayden. Their six. I came back to tell Chelsea that if anything happened to me, I wanted her to take care of them." I finally said.

"Well I have to tell you something too, but I'm not sure you're gonna like it..." She said.

"Tell me." I growled.....

Sybyla

"Well..." I started to pace, "I could be classified as a murderer."

"A what?!"

"A murderer, I killed someone about 3 years ago."

"Why?"

I really didn't want to tell him this part, "because he raped me four years ago."

(Marc Luna)

I heard myself growl deep in my throat, I've never heard a human produce such a sound. I clenched my fists at my sides, he RAPED her? I was glad that she killed him, because if I had gotten ahold of him it would have been much worse.

"So......um...... When do we uh leave?" She asked looking down at her feet.

Sybyla

I waited for his responce as I studied my shoes, "if you still love me after what I just said."

There was a hole in the top of my shoe, just where my big toe was, no wonder my whole foot was sopping wet.
