  Emma had been in her dorm for about two weeks now. Her classes had started already, but mine didn’t start until October 1st. This gave me enough time to see her about three times a week, regardless of my car being able to handle the drive. We video chatted and she called me on days when we couldn’t see each other. My 19th birthday was coming up and so she was able to drive down to see me then. Honestly, things were working out a lot better than either of us had ever expected, despite the both of us not preparing for it. My hopes were high and I was prepared to continue this pattern for as long as it took. Emma was more than worth it to me. I didn’t care about the hour drives back and forth, the money spent, or the inevitable breakdown of my car. As long as she was happy, that’s the only thing that ever mattered. I thought to myself, with a glimmer of hope, that everything would be okay.
