It had been six days since I had last seen Heath in person. I texted him the night that my Aunt told me I couldn't see him anymore, and this was the conversation:
From Heath:
How did everything go with ur aunt? Hopefully nothing too bad. I'm real sorry😪 it's my fault

From Allie😘:
Heath it's not ur fault. It's mine. I shouldn't have let things move as fast as they did. I'm sorry. I can't see u anymore😭

H-
Call me....now

Heath's POV:
I was heartbroken. I couldn't LIVE not being able to see her. I was so in love with this beautiful, smart, witty girl. In just the few days that we had met, I was intrigued by her. She made me happy, genuinely happy. Which is something I haven't been in a really long time.

I called her immediately after I received the news.

"Hello," I heard her say. She had been crying, I heard it in her sad tone. I heard her choke and tears came to my eyes. I couldn't let my babygirl be this sad.

"Allie, don't cry, baby," I said. A tear rolled down my cheek.

I heard her sob on the other line. I couldn't take it.

"Calm down, Allie, it's okay...." my voice trailed off.
"Maybe," I took a breath.
"Maybe it's for the best."

"Heath it's my Aunt! She won't let me see you anymore! Do you really think this is what I want?!" Her voice rose.

"God no! Allie don't you ever say that, alright?!" I rose my voice to show I was serious.

No answer.

"I don't wanna lose you either," I said softly.

She sniffed.
"I can't do it, Heath. I can't see you without her finding out. She'll be on my tail 24/7 from now on. I know it."

I nodded, although she couldn't hear that.

"Baby I don't want you getting in any more trouble because of me. Maybe this is a sign, ya know? Maybe it's not,"
I sighed.
"Maybe it's not meant to be like we thought."

She cried.
"I love you," she whispered.

I started crying, really crying.
"I love you too, Allie."

And then she hung up.

Allie's POV:
I was right about Tiffany. She was constantly on my ass about EVERYTHING.

"What are you eating?"
"What are you wearing?"
"Where are you going?"
THAT was the big one. She asked that question at least 15 times a day.

"Where are you going?"
"UPSTAIRS, Aunt Tiff."

"Where are you going?"
"Bathroom."

"Where are you going?"
"To get food from the fridge."

It was so exhausting.

Heath and I hadn't talked since that night. I was scared I would become even more attached to him than I already was.
My heart longed for him. My mind was racing with thoughts about him. My lips wanted his lips. Everything about me wanted him. And nothing but him.

Don't get me wrong, my Aunt tried to cheer me up.
"Wanna go shopping?"
"Already went."

"How bout a movie?"
"No thanks."

Then she snapped.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GONNA PLEASE YOU, ALLIE??"

So I snapped back.
"HEATH!"
And with that, my plan was formed.

I was gonna get a job. Get a decent job, make some money, find a place to rent. I just wanted out of that hellhole.

After about 1 month, I had earned enough money working at a retail shop called 'Just For You' to find a place to rent.

Heath and I still hadn't talked since that night. I was really nervous to text him, but I honestly had nothing to lose. He and I both hated small talk, so I got straight to the point.

To: Heath

Heath's POV:
I practically sped just to get to Allie. I hadn't seen her in about a month and a half, and all I wanted was to wrap her up in a tight hug and tell her how much I missed her.

I rang the doorbell once I arrived at her house. You should have SEEN the look on her Aunt's face when she saw me.

"Did Allie not tell you? You're not welcome here anymore-"

I pushed past her before she could finish. I hurried up to Allie's room and found her sitting contently on her bed with all of her suitcases already packed.

She smiled when she saw me.
"Hey baby," she said softly.

I ran to her and picked her up and spun her around. She laughed musically, god I had missed that beautiful smile of hers.

When I put her down, I grabbed her waist and pulled her towards me. I leaned in, and right before my lips met hers, I whispered:
"I'm never leaving you again."
