Deceased
. . .
It
doesn’t matter how many times I say it or how many different names
I give it, it still means the same thing. One of these days I’ll be
nothing but a passing memory, a familiar face in a forgotten photo.
But there's three things I need before this life of mine ends . . .
I
need to tell him I love him more than life itself. I need to
feel the strength of his arms wrapped around me just one more
night. Most of all, I need him to forgive me.
Eight
years ago I broke the heart of the only man I’ve ever loved and
today I’m moving home in hopes that he’ll let me put it back
together. I’m not sure how many breaths I have left, but I’ll use
each and every last one fighting for what I destroyed.
My
name is Laney Jacobs and this is my journey.

Excerpt
My
eyes catch on a formation and I sit up, squinting, trying to figure
out if I found it. I look at Levi and smile. “There, it’s right
there.” Closing one eye—because everyone knows that helps you see
better—I point to the stars and trace my finger around Corona
Borealis.
“No way.” Levi
sits up and leans toward me so the sides of our heads are touching.
“Well, I’ll be damned.” We both turn to look at each other at
the same time and our noses nearly touch. His smile slowly fades as
his eyes drop to my mouth. The air around us grows thick and my heart
hammers inside my chest. I want so badly to grab the back of his neck
and yank him to me, but I refrain, knowing this is a step that he
needs to take. To my dismay, he clears his throat and backs up,
putting space between the two of us. “Um … so … what do you
want?”
“What do you
mean, what do I want?” I ask, still too caught up in the moment to
fully comprehend what he’s talking about.
“You won. So you
get to pick your prize.”
“Hmmm.” I flop
back down on the ground and tap my bottom lip with my finger. What do
I want? “Nothing. I don’t want anything.” I look to the sky and
then back to Levi. He lowers himself to the ground and looks over at
me.
“Nothing?”
“Nope. This is
perfect.” Our eyes stay locked for several seconds, but the
connection is too intense and I have to look away or I’ll
physically melt. “I’m just glad we got to spend some time
together, just you and me. It’s been really nice, Levi. So this is
it. You’ve already given me what I want.” I take a deep
satisfying breath, chancing a quick glance back at him. He’s
grinning from ear to ear, and I swear that his smile alone could
light up the darkest of nights. His features have softened, his eyes
are sparkling with happiness, and I’m glad it’s directed at me.
“Okay.” His
warm voice evaporates into the evening air and I sigh, knowing that
right now, in this very second, everything has changed. We seem to
have found our footing again and some sort of peace, and I can only
hope that it will grow from here.
