Home to You

I didn’t want to love Jake Johnson. He was the boy I fell in love with, my brother’s best friend, the man who took my heart. But sometimes love doesn’t listen. Sometimes your heart makes its own choices, pushes boundaries, and picks the exact wrong moment to show its vulnerable head. The night we first kissed was my slap back to reality. The moment I realized he would never see me as more than a little sister. I did the only thing I could think of that would insure it never happened again. I moved away. Now three years later, faced with a betrayal that pushes me to my limits, I’m thrown back into the arms of the man I’d sworn I left for good. The one who’d seen me through everything. They say time heals, but not when you press pause. I knew returning home wouldn’t be easy, I just didn’t realize it would be this hard.
