This wasn't right. It wasn't. I couldn't just run away. I had my family still. My father and my sisters. They would always wonder what happened to me and even if I found a way to tell them, they would never be able to fully let me go.
And I would never stop missing them.
I would spend the rest of my life away from them. I would be hurting them.
Slowly I pulled my arm from Butch's. He looked away from the window and watched me calmly. Something on my face must have alerted him because his eyes grew grim and his mouth turned down at the edges. I stared up at him, trying to find the words.
"Don't," He said harshly. "Don't try to back out of this. We're staying together."
"I-I can't Butch," I said softly and as the words left my mouth I knew them to be true. I couldn't run away. I couldn't board that plane. "I just can't."
"No," He gritted out and his hand reached out to grab mine. "I just got you back, you can't leave again."
Tears sprung to my eyes. I didn't want to leave him. "I'm not leaving you. You can stay here with me."
"I'll go to jail for the rest of my life," He told me but I shook my head.
"No, I could figure something out. I know a lot of lawyers. Good lawyers. I even know the judges. I could talk to them and figure something out." I pleaded.
"It won't work," He grabbed my face now, gently, but with an urgency I rarely saw him display. "Come with me."
"I don't want to always be running away. I can't pretend to be someone else," I felt my voice crack and despite the crowded airport no one noticed our display. "I can't leave my family."
"That was the whole reason you moved to the city in the first place," He argued right back. "You were running away."
"I've grown up since then," I smiled. I'd grown up so much and all thanks to him. He had made me someone stronger. I was so full of indecision and mistakes but somehow I was stronger. I was much stronger. "I'm tired of running. It's time I start learning from my mistakes."
"Will you go back to him?" He asked viciously.
"No," I said honestly and with conviction. "I will go back to no one but you."
