Love Endures (To Kill A Mockingbird Fanfic)

Chapter Three

Scout's POV

"Dill, you're here!" I cried, and ran to him. All of a sudden, we were kissing.

I linked my arms through his neck, and smiled through our kiss. I opened my eyes to look at him, and he was gone.

I jumped off my bed in such a fit. I didn't know what to do. It's bad enough in my dreams, having him leave. But I don't think if he ever came back, and didn't stay, that I could handle it.

I have to face facts: he's gone to live his life, I should start living mine.

About fifteen seconds later, I heard a knock at the door.

"Jem, would you get the door? I have to go to the bathroom." I called out, and walked off. I went to the toilet, washed my hands, and walked out of the bathroom.

I yelled, "Jem, who's at the door...?"

I cut myself off, because I could see it for myself, but I didn't thinking could believe it.

It was Dill.
