first text message since i realized that i had my answer to his question

11:34 p.m
c//hey

11:38
me//hi

11:39
c//i am super bored what's up

11:42
me//idk where are you. if it's in class then it's the weird lighted tiles that blink creepily, if you're outside it's the sky. if you're in your car than it's the roof.

11:43
c//haha very funny (sarcasm intended)

11:44
me//i know i am so funny

11:45
c//how's work and school

11:45
me//good actually. i have enough money for my plane tickets now so i quit my extra jobs. just studying for our exams and working part time at elliot's restaurant

me//how's it going with you

11:48
c//good. i have my tickets too. i just can't believe that we won't see each other even though we're switching countries. is there any way that you can stay an extra day or anything!!

c//staying forever would be better too, just saying

11:49
me//bought everything, got my school coverage finalized, talked it over with my parents so no. i can't. everything is done, it's too late

11:50
c//same here

11:51
me//it is just so weird how after all this effort to stay away from you, when i finally am ready to see you again we can't make anything work

11:52
c//ya i know

11:52
me//maybe in summertime?

11:52
c//i don't even know. i just want you to stay here for good with us

11:53
me//i know. i am sorry. i just need time

11:54
c//if you do ever decide to come back, we might be going off to different post secondary schools or employments and never see each other again.

c//i want to graduate with you

c//fix things

c//but we've forfeited all of that

11:55
me//remember when you told me that i only had one life? that i had to choose between elliot and london and you and my family and friends in canada? i had made my choice a long time ago. even before i came here

11:59
c//and?

11:59
me//i choose you. i choose my true home

me//i ran away from my problems and feelings and i shouldn't have. i never talk to anyone-ever-about my emotions and all that sappy stuff. then i was stuck in a hurricane of it all and with all these problems and drama and everything

me//i didn't know what to do

me//i opened up my true feelings and it only hurt me ten times worse. i felt like an idiot even though i didn't do anything intentional. then when i found out about what happened, i couldn't think straight. i couldn't face myself or you so i ran away. i know i have to go back eventually, because you are where i only ever want to be, but i don't know if i am ready yet. and as much as you think you are, i don't think you're ready to see me yet either-to hear the truth

12:09
c//maybe i am not but time is not on our side. i get it okay, you've never let anyone inside those walls that you've built around yourself but hey, first time for everything right?

12:10
me//yea. it sucks i can't see you in london. or you can't see me in canada.

12:11
c//yup

12:17
me//well it's late and i have got a test tomorrow. night.

12:18
c//haha right, it's only afternoon for me. sweet dreams bree
