Into the Light

I never expected to see him again. Jeremy McAllister. From the day we met, he painted my world with vivid colors. He was my first love, my first everything, until that fateful day when circumstances tore us apart. But that would imply we didn’t have a choice in the matter. If you ask me, we both chose wrong. I’ve spent the past seven years trying to look forward and make a new life for myself, but how do you move on from the one person who owns your heart?

And now, he’s standing across the room. All these years later a chance encounter has brought us together again. He’s a mere ten steps away, yet still out of reach. We share the same space, breathe the same air, but when our eyes meet I know in that moment he is lost to me. The light I once saw is gone. And only resentment remains. I’m determined to reach the boy who once loved me with a passion so bright it rivaled the sun. But the man he’s become is just as determined to push me away, into the darkness.
