4000 Miles Apart

Time

We only have so much time.

You might remember me as Milo, Milo Ivory. I've been dating Grayson, Grayson Young this whole year. We planned on going to the same college until I got accepted into culinary arts, it has been my dream my whole life I never planned for it to become true. Grayson got accepted into Princeton, his dream school. We are going to be 4000 miles apart.

My best friend Quinn, Quinn Brown dropped out of school when his girlfriend Delaney, Delaney Grace had their daughter Zoie Brown. They moved in together and are the perfect couple.

No distance.

I have two weeks with Grayson before I move. We are planning to get as much done as we can in two weeks. I want this to work.

I need this to work.

Grayson has three more weeks until he has to go, He's going to drive me off at the airport.

We have been together for six months now. Grayson thinks this will work but I'm doubting it.

hey, we need to talk.

Grayson got here around nine.

" We desperately need to talk, " I said after I let out a sigh.

Grayson sat down with me.

" I'm not going to go I will just come live with you and go to a nearby college, " I said with a look of sadness.

" No, It's your dream and you're making it happen no matter what. We will make it out of this we will talk every day, I promise. " Grayson said out of disbelief.

A big smile lit up my face, hoping that he can keep that promise.

Grayson's soft pink lips brushing against mine bringing us into a kiss.

My hands gazed down the small of his back.

I never wanted to forget this moment.

I laid my head on Grayson's lap, my eyes closed picturing us after we meet again.

I never wanted to leave his arms, I have no clue what I will do without his touch.

His fingertips softly rubbed against my cheek.

My cheeks turning red in the feeling of his touch knowing I will have to wait for his touch.

" Please don't leave me, " I said choking back tears.

" It's just temporary, you will forever be my love, " Grayson said filling his eyes with tears mid-sentence.

I couldn't choke my tears back any longer, I just let go.

Grayson sat me in his lap and held me until I didn't have any more tears.

I wanted to keep crying knowing that he would hold me this close the whole time, but I ran out of tears.

I want the best for him but I just don't want it to be the worst for our relationship.

I want this to be forever.

It's just four years, 1000 miles a year.

Grayson hadn't said a word the whole time I cried, I was so embarrassed after crying for that long.

He didn't even let out a single tear.

His pink lips left a soft kiss on my forehead.

Tears now started streaming down my face while still staring up at him.

It had turned into sobbing, every tear his soft fingertips wiped away.

My hands held onto his wrists the whole time.

I couldn't let go of him.

I held him so I knew he didn't leave.

It started getting cold so we went inside, my hands still pried to his wrists.

His eyes stayed on me, reassuring me that he was right there.

He wanted to make sure I got to sleep okay, I couldn't fall asleep knowing he was awake and had the chance to leave me.

I let go of his wrists and put my hand in his.

Just trying to love him the best I could.

I just want to be right here forever.

I couldn't let him go that easy.

It was about 11 now, we just keep losing time.
