Wait for Me

Writers block is a pain that most writers go through every so often. Mostly finished with three different stories, my brain decided to shut down any creative idea I had... until just recently. Hopefully the end results will be worth it.

This story deals with several different life events, and I've done my best to treat them with respect. I know depression isn't usually solved by a swift kick in the ass, and those suffering normally have a long recovery time through the help of trained experts and modern medicine. Losing a body part through a traumatic experience is also nothing to treat lightly. Having never gone through either, I researched what I could and wrote my story as respectfully as possible. I'm sure others have had different experiences, but please remember that in the end, this is only a fictional story with fictional characters.

As always, votes and constructive comments are welcome. Please enjoy...

Amanda and Josh.

Josh and Amanda.

If you saw one, you saw the other. And if not, the other was not far away.

Growing up as next-door-neighbors, the two of them were seemingly destined to be together. They were born in the same hospital one day apart, their mothers were long-time friends, their fathers worked for the same company and had served together in the army. And from their first time playing in a playpen together, they were inseparable. If one laughed, so did the other. If one cried, so did the other, even if they were in different rooms - or different houses. It was a connection nobody could explain.

The connection continued as they were enrolled in pre-school. The teachers were told about it, but didn't believe the parents - until on day one, when the kids were put into different rooms. At first all was fine, until Amanda looked around and couldn't find Josh - and began to cry. None of the teachers could console her; the crying continued until Josh was brought into the room, and Amanda stopped crying instantly. From that day forward, the two were kept in the same room.

Starting school was not a problem, as the neighborhood school was small and only had one class for kindergarten, first, and second grades. Everyone hoped that by third grade their compulsion to be together wouldn't be as strong.

Partway through her first grade year, Amanda was told that her mom was going to have a baby, and that she would be a big sister. Amanda was thrilled with the notion, and eagerly awaited the big day. One day at school, she was called to the office. Thinking she was in trouble, Amanda was scared to enter. But when she saw her father Mike smiling through the door, she ran to him.

"Amanda - guess what? You're now officially a big sister to Vicki."

"A sister? Yay! Now Josh and me will have someone else to play with!"

"Well, not for a little while. Vicki's a baby and won't be able to play with you two for some time. But you'll be able to hold her, feed her, show her your dolls, and things like that. How does that sound?"

When they were done talking, Mike gave his daughter a bag of treats to pass out to her classmates at snack time, and Amanda hurried back to her room to tell everyone the news. All her classmates were excited for her... except Josh. He sat at his desk with a sad look on his face. Seeing him, Amanda hurried to his side.

"Josh, what's the matter? Why do you look so sad?"

"Well, now that you have a sister to play with, who's going to play with me?"

"I will. And Vicki will, once she's old enough. Daddy said we can't play with her too much now 'cause she's so little. But when she gets bigger, we all can play together. Ok?"

And so it went.

Josh and Amanda.

Amanda and Josh.

And soon it became Amanda and Josh and Vicki, as the three got along wonderfully. Until they didn't.

By the time Amanda and Josh hit middle school, Amanda was getting tired of having her sister around her and Josh all the time. Any time they went to the park, Vicki tagged along. If they went to the mall to spend time with their friends, Vicki tagged along. If they did anything at all together, Vicki tagged along.

One day, Amanda had had enough. After breakfast one summer day, she asked her mom if, for once, she and Josh could just hang out together with some friends - without Vicki.

"You know how much your sister looks up to you and Josh, don't you? She idolizes the two of you. It would probably break her heart to hear you say you don't want her to be around you."

"I know, mom, but all the time? Doesn't she have friends she can play with, without me being there? My friends are starting to laugh at me, knowing if I'm there, so will Vicki."

"Ok, honey. I'll talk with her. Just be sure that you and Josh find time to spend with her as well."

Several weeks later, Amanda and Josh were heading out to meet up with some of their friends. Amanda had forgotten she'd promised to take Vicki to the park, so when Vicki heard them leave, she began to cry. She jumped on her bike, pedaling furiously to catch up.

"Amanda, wait for me. You promised to take me to the park today. Wait for me, Amanda.

Wait for me...

Finally hearing her sister crying out, Amanda turned around just in time to see her sister begin to cross the street without looking. Horrified, Amanda could only watch as her sister got hit by a car. The driver saw Vicki at the last moment and slammed on her breaks, but it was too late. The only sound the kids heard was a sickening

thump

, as the car hit Vicki.

As Amanda ran to her stricken sister, Josh ran back to his house, where both his and Amanda's mothers were having coffee. Bursting into his house, he yelled for his mom.

"Mom, Betty, come quick. Vicki was hit by a car down the street. Someone already called the police, and Amanda's with Vicki. Hurry!"

Running down the street, both moms could see Amanda holding her little sister, crying her eyes out.

"Vicki, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave without you. I forgot I promised you. I'm sorry, sis. Please don't die. Please, Vicki. Talk to me. I'm so, so sorry."

By now a crowd had formed around the accident scene. The driver of the car was in hysterics, saying she didn't have time to stop; that she didn't even see the little girl until it was too late. Someone else tried to help Amanda, but she wouldn't let anyone close until her mom got there.

"I didn't even know she was coming after us, mom. I'm sorry. I didn't hear her yelling for me until it was too late. She won't answer me, mom. Vicki won't open her eyes. I killed her. I killed my baby sister. I'm so sorry..."

Just then the police arrived, followed shortly by the EMTs. While one officer got everyone out of the way, the other began to question the driver and the other witnesses. When one of the medics tried to move Amanda out of the way, she began to yell at them to leave her and her sister alone.

"Amanda, let go of Vicki and come here. You need to let them help your sister."

"But mom, what if I killed her? It's all my fault."

"Don't worry, miss. Your sister isn't dead, just unconscious. But you need to let me treat her, ok? I need to see what's going on."

Finally letting go of her sister, Amanda hugged her mother tight, crying all the while. Josh and his mom stood off to the side, with Josh too scared to say anything. Soon, the medic told Betty that they needed to take Vicki to the hospital, and she could ride along.

"Betty, just go. I'll take Josh and Amanda home with me. Call us if we can do anything. I'll call Mike to let him know what's going on."

"Thanks, Sue.

"Amanda, I'm sure Vicki will be fine. Go with Sue and Josh. I'll call when I know something. And don't worry, sweetheart. You didn't kill your sister."

Still softly sobbing, Amanda hugged her mom one more time, leaned over to give her sister a kiss on the cheek, and went home with Josh and his mom.

Several anxious hours later, Sue's phone rang.

"Hi, Betty. Ok...ok...yes, I can do that...that's good to hear...anything else I can do...ok, we'll see you soon.

"Amanda, your mom said Vicki will be fine. She got a good knock to her head, so the doctors are keeping her in the hospital overnight. She also has lots of scrapes and bruises, and her left arm is broken, so she's going to be in some pain for a while. But she'll be fine. The doctor said you can see her for a little while, so let's go to the hospital. Josh, you can ride with us, but because you aren't officially family, you can't go in, so pack something to read while we're there."

Arriving at the hospital, they were quickly ushered to Vicki's room, where her mom and dad were watching over her. She was bandaged and bruised, and her arm was already in a cast. Seeing her, Amanda burst into tears; coming over, her mom tried to comfort her.

"Vicki looks worse than she really is. The nurse said the bruises will fade in several days, and the scrapes will as well. However, her arm will be in a cast for most of the summer, so we'll have to be careful with that. If you want to talk to her, go ahead. She's asleep now, but I'm sure she'll know you're here."

Tenderly kissing her sister's forehead, Amanda held her right hand gently.

"Oh sis, I'm so sorry for not waiting for you. I promise that once you're feeling better, I'll take you to the park and we'll play there, along with Josh. Pinky swear."

And so it went. Soon Vicki was back on her feet, and the summer quickly passed, with the three spending lots of time together. And after Betty spoke to Vicki, Amanda and Josh spent some time together, with their friends, and without Vicki.

*****

Soon the two entered high school, and as how things usually go, their relationship began to change. The first change that became apparent was the romantic feelings that began to spring up between Josh and Amanda. No longer just best friends, they began to officially date - something that lasted all four years of high school. As well, their interests in life beyond high school began to show.

Josh found out he loved to run, so he was on both the cross country and track teams. Running long distances gave him a peace of mind he never knew before, and soon began to look forward to his running regime. But he also found out he was very good at it. Along with running with his teammates, he also found a love for running marathons, and became one of the top marathoners in the country in his age class. As well, he won the state cross country championships in both his junior and senior years; his senior year, his winning time was the second best in the country, which, along with his marathon times, got him an invitation to the Olympic Trials marathon. He had no illusions of actually making the team, but knew he'd do his best. He time was his personal best, but was still many minutes behind the second alternate. Buoyed with that, Josh decided to work even harder during his college years to hopefully make the team four years later. He also spent lots of time with his studies, as he wanted to snag an appointment to West Point. He was the type of student that needed to work hard to get good grades, so he took the time needed to keep his 4.0 GPA.

Amanda, on the other hand, began to gravitate towards math and science. She was the type of student who didn't have to work hard for her good grades, but did so anyway. She was also someone who disliked sports of any kind, and couldn't figure out why Josh would spend so much time running instead of spending it with her. He tried to tell her why he felt the way he did, but he could never come up with the right words of explanation. He was also miffed that she never came to any of his cross-country or track meets. So many of his friends had their SO in attendance, but not him. His consolation was that Vicki almost never missed a meet. Somehow, he could always hear her voice yelling for him above the noise of the crowd. So as the years rolled by, he spent more time running and studying, and Amanda got lost in her world of STEM.

As their senior year was coming to a close, Amanda and Josh were talking one night.

"Josh, can I ask you a serious question?"

"Yeah, sure. You can ask me anything. What's up?"

Amanda hesitated for a moment, and then pulled herself onto Josh's lap, smiling at him.

"I was thinking, with our 18

th

birthdays just around the corner, and prom right after..."

"Ok, what is going through your devious mind?"

"Well, I was thinking of what to get you for your birthday and graduation, and I finally came up with the perfect thing... me. I want to give you my virginity for your, and my, birthday. And do it the night of prom. I know that's such a high school trope, but it's something I've been thinking about for some time. I love you, but I worry about what will happen once we graduate. I'm going to Stanford and you're going to West Point, so we'll be on opposite ends of the country. And who knows how often we'll be able to get together after this. So, this is what I want for my birthday present and my graduation present. You."

Josh was quiet for a while, looking at the face of his loving girlfriend. It was true that after graduation they'd be heading in different directions, and who knew when they'd be together after that. And knowing that this was something he'd been hoping for, he smiled back at her.

"Sweetie, I'd love nothing more. So what's your plan?"

Hugging him excitedly, Amanda began to explain.

"I've already taken care of everything. Mom accidently saw me searching on line for different hotels nearby, and asked me what was going on. I had to be honest with her, because she always knows when I'm lying. We had a long talk about it, with her making sure I was certain about this, and all the consequences involved. Once I convinced her I was positive, she helped my make the plans. However, she had a better idea. Instead of going to a motel, she suggested we use the family cabin. It's only an hour's drive from here, and that way we'll be sure to have all the privacy we want. I told her I loved her idea, so she'll make sure the cabin is ready. I'm sure that by now your mom knows all about it as well. So what do you think?"

"As long as you're certain about this..."

"I am. I know we're going our separate ways soon, and I want to give myself to you before we do."

So the stage was set. Amazingly, both sets of parents were ok with the plan. They all figured the two would try the hotel bit, so the use of the cabin sat better with everyone. However, sometimes good plans fall apart at the last minute.

The weather forecast for Prom Saturday was supposed to be clear and warm - perfect for their getaway. However, at the last minute, a large storm front blew through, with drenching rains and heavy winds. As Amanda was waking up Saturday morning, her mom gave her the bad news.

"Sweetheart, I just heard the storm washed out part of the road to the cabin, and there are several large trees blocking it as well. The county said the road would be open later this week, but for now, there's no way for you and Josh to get to the cabin. I'm sorry. But how about you push back your present to him for a week, and go up next weekend. That way, you can leave early Saturday morning and have another full day up there."

Saddened, but pragmatic, Amanda realized Plan B would probably be a much better plan, so called Josh and told him the news. They still had a great time with their friends at the dance and the post-prom party, but never stopped looking forward to what will be.

The next Saturday, the kids were up early to finish packing. The cabin was stocked with food, water, and soft drinks, so all they needed to pack were their backpacks with some clothes and other essentials. They left early to get a jump on the weekend traffic, and soon found themselves pulling up to a beautiful 'cabin in the woods'. It sat on about one acre of land, on several hundred feet of lakefront. A hot tub overlooked the dock and lake; there were two big ensuite bedrooms, a nice living room with a stone fireplace, and a small but very workable kitchen. And it was perfect for their plans.

After unpacking, Josh went outside to get the hot tub ready. As he was turning the jets on, he heard a whispered 'Josh, turn around'.

Turning, he gasped aloud, as Amanda was standing there, totally naked. Her long, blonde hair was pulled back in a pony tail, and she stood before him, watching his eyes take in her nubile body. His eyes began to wander, moving from her smiling face down to her breasts, which stood proudly from her chest, nipples erect with excitement. Slowly his eyes moved south, gazing over her tight stomach and stopping on her shapely legs. Her thighs were slightly spread, showing him her growing excitement, as her pussy was wet with anticipation. She smiled as she noticed his erection tenting his swim suit; she took several steps toward him until her breasts were brushing up against his chest.

"One of us is over dressed, and I know it's not me."

She gave him a quick kiss, and then entered the hot tub. Dropping his suit on the ground, Josh quickly joined her. They sat quietly for a while - legs touching, arms touching, lips touching - until Amanda slid over and sat on Josh's lap, trapping his erection between them. A soft, loving kiss was soon followed by a series of ever hotter kisses, until they were making out with a passion not felt before. Josh slid his hands down her back until he began to fondle Amanda's soft ass cheeks. At the same time, Amanda pulled herself tighter to Josh, pushing her breasts into his chest even harder. Finally, she whispered,

"Fuck me, Josh. Right here in the hot tub. Fuck me for the first time. Fuck me until you cum in me. Make me cum as much as you can. Then take me inside and make love with me for the rest of the day."

Moving her hand to his hard dick, Amanda rose up and then slowly sank down as Josh filled her pussy with his dick. When their hips met, both moaned loudly.

"Oh baby. You feel so good in me. You're so big and I'm so full. Full of my loves dick. Oh god, fuck me Josh."

Putting his hands on her hips, Josh began to raise and lower Amanda on his dick. They started slowly, but began to move faster and faster as they got used to one another. Suddenly Amanda cried out, reaching her first orgasm with her lover. Slowing, Josh looked at her, making sure she was alright.

"Don't stop, Josh. Keep going. Keep fucking me. Keep fucking me until you fill me with your cum."

Picking up the pace, Josh lowered his head to her chest, taking one nipple, then the other, into his mouth, sucking hard. Amanda moaned at the increased lustful feelings coursing through her body, and came again. This time, Josh didn't slow down, allowing her orgasm to continue until he grunted and shot several ropes of cum deep inside Amanda.

Sated for the time being, Amanda hugged Josh and they began to make out once again. After his dick softened and slipped out of her pussy, she suggested they head inside to continue in one of the bedrooms.

The rest of the day was spent making love any way they could. They both were virgins, but not unaware of what to do and how to do it. Both would later admit to each other to watching many hours of porn to get ready for this occasion. They realized they both enjoyed oral sex, both giving and receiving. Amanda loved being on top, allowing Josh to play with her tits and ass. Josh loved getting behind her, allowing him to play with her tits, pussy, and ass, all while fucking her. And they both realized that even with all the different positions they enjoyed, missionary was their favorite, as they could look in the other's eyes as they orgasmed.

The only time they got dressed all weekend was to take a dip in the lake. Knowing there were others around, they decided they really needed to wear their swim suits. Amanda kicked Josh out of the room as she put hers on, because she wanted to surprise him. And surprise him she did.
