You Came

I run until my ankle burns, and even then, I don't stop.

I have to get back to Lucian. I have to get away from Kieran. Those are the only thoughts in my mind, the only things that matter to me right now.

I have no idea what Lucian is going to say, but I have to go back and tell him something I haven't wanted to admit to myself until now. If he doesn't feel the same way and he doesn't want me, then I'll have said it, and that's the most important thing.

Whatever happens, going back with Kieran is not an option, not with the future I'll be signing our baby up to. I could take it if it was just me, but with the baby involved, it is a different case altogether.

No, I ran because I couldn't take it anymore. No one deserves to feel like they're in the way, like they don't belong. And especially not by their own mate.

I deserve better than that. It's about time I admitted that to myself.
