Chapter Thirty-three

I slid into Joey's arms once again as Justin announced that they were going to sing a borrowed song for us. I looked up at them questioningly. The music for "How did I Fall in Love With you" started and I smiled.

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends, like sister and brother
We understood, we'd never be, alone
Those days are gone
Now I want you so much
The night is long
And I need your touch
Don't know what to say
Never meant to feel this way
Don't wanna be, alone tonight
What can I do to make you mine
Falling so hard  so fast this time
What did I say
What did you do
How did I fall In love with you
I hear your voice and I start to tremble
Brings back the child that I resemble
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't wanna be, alone tonight
What can I do to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say
What did you do
How did I fall in love with you
Oh I wanna say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just want you to know
I don't wanna live this life
Don't wanna say good-bye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life
What can I do to make you mine
Fallin so hard so fast this time
What did I say, What did you do
How did I fall in love with you
What can I do to make you mine
Falling so hard, so fast this time
Everything's changed we never knew
How did I fall in love with you.

I looked into Joey's eyes and saw the love that I had been missing all these months. Though I knew that I hadn't been missing it, he had been loving me like I was loving him, all along. He had, months before  given me a new hope, a new chance at life and we had almost thrown it all away. I loved this man with every fiber of my being. Maybe I always had. He pulled me close to him and slowly lowered his head to mine kissing me softly and whispering my name. The sound of my name on his lips was the sweetest sound I'd ever heard.
I knew then that with all of my struggles, all of my journeys and all of my battles I had finally found
The way home.

THE END
