Love Notes and Long Distance

"Alright on the count of three we tell each other our decisions for college alright," my boyfriend said, holding my hands.

"Alright babe. 1,2," I began.

He pecked my lips softly before we both whispered, "3."

"University of South Carolina," he said.

"University of Northern Texas," I said.

We both stared at one another. Texas and South Carolina were a bit far apart. In separate time zones, only an hour but still, we'd have to adjust. I loosened my grip and put my head on my arms. I didn't know what I was going to do without him. That he was my first love and I needed him.

"That's not that bad, we can still talk all the time and there's breaks where I can see you in person. There's skype , you'll only be what, an hour behind me? That's no that bad," Alex whispered picking up my chin.

"What about those times where I just have to let emotions out. I won't have you there to hug me and just let me cry. Alex, what's this going to happen between us," I asked.

"Nothing is. After these four years we'll move back up to Baltimore, get that apartment that we've talked about."

"What if you find someone better than me?"

"No one can be better than you because you are perfect."

He took my hand and pulled me up the stairs to my bedroom. We sat on my bed for hours just listening to Blink 182 and sharing our memories. High school was coming to an end and we had made our decisions. Ever since Alex said the name of his future college I had a pang of regret in my stomach. That had been my first choice but my scholarship was better.

I curled up with him at some point as we both drifted into sleep. I still couldn't help but wonder what would happen when he found someone better than me.

Notes

I had an idea because all anyone talks about at my college is their long distance partner so here you go. I still have plans to finish my many started stories and I can use this website on my laptop again!!! (sorry, not laptop savvy it took me some tries to figure it out). Also, I'm seeing All Time Low this week and it really made my already shitty week better. Also, Friday marks the first day of Fall Break and I'm stoked cause I'm homesick like crazy.

Anyway, leave a like and a comment :)
