HOLDING ON
BY HL MILLER
Micah
Being drafted to the NFL should be the best moment of my life.
It mostly is. But as I hold up my new jersey on stage, the cameras don’t capture the one thing missing from my new life.
My girlfriend Abby is back in L.A., still finishing school at SCU, still everything I want.
But I’m halfway across the country, and late-night calls and stolen weekends aren’t enough.
I want her here. I want us to work. But how do I ask her to give up her future for mine?
Abby
Micah was made for this—the lights, the stadiums, the headlines. But no one warns you how lonely it is to be left behind. I love him, but while he’s chasing his dream, I’m still figuring out mine. Everyone says long distance is just another challenge, but what if love isn’t enough?
He’s fighting to bring me closer.
I’m scared we’re falling apart.
And neither of us is sure we’re playing for the same future.
Immerse yourself in Holding On , a heartfelt short story about love, distance, and the struggle to make it work.
