"Jacob..."
Rosalynn was worried, Jacob didn't seem quite right.
"I'm fine, I just wanna go home." Jacob shook his head while waving his hand dismissively.
He wanted to return to the home where he and Erica had lived. Maybe all that was happening was just a dream. When he woke up, he and Erica would still be teenagers and he could protect her without hesitation.
He would propose to Erica at an early age, and then hold a wedding even grander than the current one.
Erica once said she wanted a son first, like Rosalynn and Wayne, then a daughter.
They would be so happy... they'd grow old together...
"Mike!" Rosalynn called out.
Mike appeared out of nowhere.
"Follow Jacob, don't let him do anything stupid."
"Yes!" Mike responded, then chased after Jacob.
Jacob didn't seem to notice, or didn't care.
He bought a ticket for the first available flight back to H Country. As he boarded the plane, his phone buzzed with a new notification.
It was an update from Erica, who hadn't posted in a long time.
Jacob's hands shook as he opened it.
Erica was hugging Larkin, passionately kissing under the witness of the guests behind them.
Tears flooded from Jacob's eyes.
He turned off his phone, repeatedly telling himself it wasn't real. When he got home, Erica would be there. She'd always come back to him, like she always did.
