"Back Here"
by Krystle Rae
“Jackie!!!”
“Hurry up!”
“The movie starts in like one second!”
“If you don’t hurry we’re gonna be late!!!”
Jackie was waiting in line for some snacks.
“Lets just leave!”
“We don’t need snacks, even though we’re starving to death” I exaggerated.
“Come on lets run!”
Just as we were entering the theater the movie was barely showing all the
credits at the beginning. “Whoa!, That was a close one”
We laughed for no particular reason like we always do. Just as we were walking
to the row we were gonna sit in, I spotted a total hottie!
“Jackie, look at that hot guy over there...” I whispered.
“Where, where?!”
She spotted the hottie and agreed that he was a babe.
“He’s a hottie but who’s that other babe sitting next to him?!”
“He’s a cutie too.” I said, even though he wasn’t at HOT as the other guy.
We have two different tastes in guys, so by then we picked out the one we
wanted, like we were ever gonna get them. Jackie wanted the more bad boy
lookin’ one and of course I wanted the pretty boy, there’s nothing wrong with
that! By this time it was half way through the movie and we hadn’t even paid
the least bit of attention to it! A lousy $10.00 on nothing! We had been looking
down the row at those hot guys the WHOLE time!!!
“I swear I’ve caught him checkin’ you out too!” Jackie said.
“Really?!?” I asked, trying not to sound too desperate.
We were really STARVING!
“Hey Krystle, I’m gonna go get some snacks, stay here - -”
“What?!, I’m not staying here by myself, I’m going with you!”
“Okay, but hurry so we can see the rest of the movie!”
“It’s not like we are watching it anyways!!!” I joked as we walked to the snack
bar.
As we were running back to the movie, I accidentally bumped into someone.
“Oh, I’m sorry - -”
As I looked up I noticed it was that hottie in our row!!! I had no idea what to
say...
“Um... I’m sorry” I laughed.
He laughed, “It’s okay, my name is Christian.”
OH MY GOSH!!! I felt my heart melt! Christian was the most beautiful name I
had ever heard!!! He also had the most sexiest accent you’d ever heard in your
whole lifetime of living!!!
“Hi, my name’s Krystle.”
I was so caught up in how hot Christian was up close, I almost forgot to
introduce Jackie!
“Oh, this is my friend Jackie.” I said, trying to keep cool, while inside I was
jumping up and down like a little girl.
“Well, this is my friend Mark.” He said.
“We better go back if we wanna catch the rest of the movie!” Jackie said.
We all ran inside the theater and sat by each other. I was sitting next to
Christian, trying to contain myself, and Jackie was sitting next to Mark which
seemed to show a lot of interest in her.
“Can I have some of your sour thingys?” I asked Christian.
“Sure!”
While I was about to put one in my mouth, I noticed he was staring at me.
“What, is there something in my teeth??”
“No..” He laughed.
“I just wanted to see the face you make when you eat sour things.”
As soon as I placed that sucker in my mouth he broke out laughing!!
“You have the most cutest sour-thing-in-my-mouth face!!!” He managed to get
out while laughing.
We were both cracking up and Jackie and Mark were staring at us probably
thinking “What the hell is wrong this THEM?!”
When the movie was over we all walked out together. Me and Christian had
been majorly flirting in the theater. We stayed outside for like 5 minutes before
I started to call my mom to come pick us up.
“Krystle, wanna take a walk with me?” He asked sooo sweetly that no girl in
the world would turn him down. The minute he asked that, I hung up the phone,
I think I even hung up on my own mother (sorry mom). As we were walking
outside we started to hold hands.
“I’ve never felt this way about someone I met just an hour ago.”
I knew he knew I was nervous. All the sudden we stopped and he started
kissing my cheeks and slowly made his way towards my lips, while gently
running his hands through my hair. I prayed that kiss would never end. The kiss
was slowly ending and I gazed into his gorgeous blue eyes.
“That was the most sweetest kissed I have ever had” I said, slowly coming
back to reality.
“I know, I know” He said jokingly.
“Shutup” I said, playfully pushing him.
From that moment on, I knew we were gonna be more than just friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Babe, I’ll be right back, okay?” I asked Christian
“Sure.”
I went to the rest room and checked to see if I looked okay. I was having a good
hair day, thank god!!, so my hair looked fine. Me and Christian were alone at
my house. My parents were out of state and they said I was old enough to stay
by myself, don’t worry, I couldn’t believe it either!!!
“Okay.” I said returning to my room where Christian was.
We were just laying on my bed watching Big Daddy. I laid my head on his lap
and he started playing with my hair. We had been going out for about 3 months
already. I looked up and gazed into his eyes, and I softly ran my finger down his
cheek.
“You know I love it when you play with my hair!” I said with a smile on my
face.
“Yeah, that’s why I do it.” He said smiling.
“Do you think I’m pretty?”
“Baby, you are the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen.”
“Really?” I asked, knowing he was just being sweet.
“Yup, and your hair smells good too!!!” He said with a laugh.
“Thanks, I said laughing.
I sat up and gave him a kiss on the nose.

“Krystle!!! You have a phone call!! It’s Christian!” My mom yelled from the
kitchen.
“Hello?”
“Hey!, What are you up to?” He asked.
“Nothing.”
“Can you come over, I need to talk to you.” He said.
“Sure.”
Christian sounded different, like he had something on his mind.
“Okay, I’ll see you then.” I was getting a little worried about what he wanted to
talk to me about.
Christian’s house wasn’t too far, so I walked over there. When I got there I
rang the doorbell and he answered the door. He looked soooo hot! I was lucky
to have him.
“Hi!” I said, and gave him a quick hug and kiss and we went up to his room.
“So what do you want to talk about?” I asked
“Well, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and I think we should break
up.” He said looking down.
“What??, Why??, I don’t understand.”
“I just don’t think we were meant to be.” He said.
I could feel that I was gonna start to cry.
“But I love you so much!” I said, tears were streaming down my face.
“I can’t live my life without you, you’re a part of me...”
He wasn’t saying anything.
“I can’t believe, that you of all people, the one person I truly love with all my
heart, could hurt me like this!” I was still crying.
I ran out of his house crying like a baby. I ran home, locked myself in my room
and cried until I eventually cried myself to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day I woke up and realized that it wasn’t a dream, Christian had really
broken up with me. I started to cry and thought about how different my life was
going to be without him in it. I tried to go on with the rest of the day but found
myself thinking of Christian and all the fun times we had. Like, the time when
we went to the carnival and he won me the most adorable teddy bear. At the
end of that night we went to the beach and I laid in his arms as we watched the
stars. That’s where I first told him I loved him and he said he loved me too. I
quickly stopped day dreaming and kept thinking what could have went wrong.
It’s been one week since Christian broke up with me and everyday seems to be
dragging by so slowly. I can’t eat, sleep, or concentrate on school work. I
wonder if he’s as miserable as I am.
~~~~~ 1 week later ~~~~~
I’m a little better, it’s not as bad as it was at the beginning. Someone keeps
calling and hanging up. I have a feeling it could be Christian, but then again why
would he be calling me? One day while I was watching TV I heard a knock at the
door so I answered it. I could not believe it!!! It was Christian!!! He looked like
he hadn’t slept.
“Hi.” He said
“I’ve missed you a lot Krystle.”
As soon as he said that I went up to him and wrapped my arms around him, we
held each other for a while. I started to feel tears run down my cheeks and I
could tell he was crying too. When we let go he wiped his tears away and he
held my face in his hands. I looked at him and started sobbing even more. He
slowly wiped away my tears.
“Baby, don’t cry, I’m here.”
“I can’t live without you.” I said while looking into his eyes.
“I haven’t been the same since that day.” I added.
“Baby, I’ve been a mess, I don’t want you out of my life, you fill me with
happiness and joy when I’m around you.” He said while tears streamed down
his face.
“The real reason I broke up with you was because I was scared to love you. I
was scared I would fall in love with you and you would break up with me or even
worse, not love me back.” He said while looking down.
“Christian, look at me, I love you, I will always love you, you are the person
that I wake up for every morning. I love you with all my heart.” I said holding
his hands.
“Does this mean we are back together?” He asked.
“Of course.” I said smiling.
“There’s the smile I love!” He said while he pulled me closer and kissed me
softly on the lips.
“Baby, I love you so much.” He said as we slowly pulled away from kissing.
“Christian, I love you too.”

~~~~~3 days later~~~~~
“Krystle, phone’s for you!!!”
“Okay mom!”
“Hello?”
“Hey baby!! Are you busy?” He asked
“No, I’m just lying here on my bed.”
“Okay, well I wrote a song for you when we were broken up.” He said waiting
for a reply.
“Awww.. that’s so sweet, can you read me the lyrics?” I asked.
“Sure, here we go, I hope you like it, it’s called “Back Here”...
Baby set me free
From this misery
I can't take it no more
Since your ran away

Don't know what I'm living for
Here I am so alone
And theres nothing in this world I can do
Chorus:
Until you're back here baby
Miss you want you need you so
Until you're back here baby, yeah
Theres a feeling inside I want you to know
You are the one and I can't let you go
So I told you lies

This is where my heart belongs
'cause here I am so alone
And theres nothing in this world I can do
Chorus:
Until you're back here baby
Miss you want you need you so
Until you're back here baby, yeah
Theres a feeling inside I want you to know
You are the one and I can't let you go
And I wonder (wonder)

And I wonder (wonder)
Are you ever coming back in my life
'cause here I am so alone
And theres nothing in this world I can do
Until you're back here baby
Miss you want you need you so
Until you're back here baby, yeah
Theres a feeling inside I want you to know
You are the one and I can't...
