Christmas break...
I talked with my father and he let me and Joe come a day or two early.Frank is going to see his father and our mother,so he didn't come with me and Joe.
Aceline is going to Italy with Klaus and,honestly,I'm really happy for them.Adrien?I don't know.He's been gone for two months and...I'm waiting.I'm just waiting.
As Joe drifted off to sleep next to me,I tried calling him again.The operator lady and I became besties thanks to Adrien.I miss him,still.Even more than I did before.
Even the slightest thought of him is enough to bring tears to my eyes and pain to my heart.Two months and I have never tried the way I am about to try.I called his father,Gresill.
"My son's little whore.Why are you calling me?"I sighed."I don't believe you.I don't believe that he actually left me.And you can't say what you said to me because you don't even know me."
"I say I know enough.What the fuck do you want?"I nodded."I want to talk to him.""Not happening.Take your relationship bullshit to someone else.I don't deal with that crap."
He hung up on me.Great.Just...Great.
I went to my camera roll.Went through the many pictures we had togather.With Adrien,with Adrien,Klause and Aceline...Pictures from the beach house.
Videos...
I felt happy for a while.Seeing those times come in front of me,I don't know,made me feel like I was there again.To live it all over again.
The hostess came with our food a few hours into the flight.I woke Joe up so he could eat it while it's still warm."Oh,food."I nodded."Yeah,food."
While we were eating,my phone started buzzing.It was an unknown number but it was from Paris,so I answered."Qui?"(Yes?)"Je parle à Reine Allard, d'accord?"(I'm talking to Reine Allard,right?)
"Oh mon Dieu, Antoine?Est-ce vraiment vous?"(Oh my God,Antoine?Is this really you?)
"J'ai changé mon numéro! Je suis tellement contente d'avoir bien compris votre numéro."(I changed my number!I am so glad I got your number right.)
"Êtes-vous enfin de retour de ce programme d'échange d'étudiants?"(Are you finally back from that exchange student program?)
"Oui, ma dame, je suis enfin de retour, je suis allé chez toi mais Esmée a dit que tu étais partie à l'étranger pour une école privée?"(Yes,my lady.I am finally back.I actually went to your house but Esmée said you went abroad for a private school?)
"Rappelez-vous la fois où nous nous sommes rencontrés avant votre départ? La décision a été prise une semaine après, j'ai oublié de vous le dire! Je suis désolé, Antoine."(Remember the time we met up before you went away?The decision was made a week after that.I forgot to tell you!I am so sorry,Antoine.)
"C'est bon. Alors tu reviens? Si oui, quand?"(It's alright.So,are you coming back?If so,when?)
"Me croiriez-vous si je vous disais que je vole en ce moment? Que je suis dans l'avion?"(Would you believe me if I told you I am flying over right now? That I am in the plane?)
"Envoyez-moi un SMS lorsque vous atterrissez et enregistrez mon nouveau numéro. Je viendrai avec Pierre."(Text me when you land and save my new number. I will come with Pierre.)
"D'accord, je te verrai quand j'atterrirai."(Alright,I'll see you when I land.)
We hung up."Antoine is back?"I nodded."He is back from his semester long exchange student program.I cannot wait to skate with him again."
