Once Alex arrived home, she smiled and fell backwards on her couch. She heard her phone ping and sighed, needing to desperately text Katherine about today.

My Nimrod <3
What is my name in your phone?
"My Nimrod <3"
why?
You haven't changed it since I left?
no, couldn't bring myself too.
Kath tried to and then I cried for three hours so she changed it back.
though it was completely her fault because she did it three weeks after you left. had she done it later on, I probably would not have cried in front of her for three hours.
now I'm curious on what mine is.
I don't even think I want to know, I might get my heart broken.
News flash, you won't.
"my heart <3"
I haven't changed mine either.
I think Ashton changed it when we got illegally drunk one night when he came up to visit but I noticed the next morning and changed it back.
Looks like the happy couple wanted us to be apart.
def not.
Ashtray has given me so many updates about you, just like your family has.
Katherine didn't bring you up for a long time but now we have weekly talks about you.
not anything bad, just how you're doing. we'll like over analyze a picture on your instagram or something lol. we used to make up stories about you going to college parties and shit just to like give me happy memories of you living it up in Oregon.
I think they were just trying to get us not to be sad anymore because Ashton has been begging me to reach out and ask you out for three years.
And you never did?
we both agreed it was best for us Karl. I may have never wanted to believe it, but look at us now. I graduate in five weeks and you're doing what you've always wanted to do. I think in the long run us breaking up mutually before things went downhill than watching our love go up in flames was definitely best. even if we found each other too late, I have you back in my life and I couldn't ask for anything more.
I see your perspective on life has changed a lot.
that's what happens when you're an English major lol. I mean think of it this way, we still have a shot at a future us if that's what we both want. if we continued to date even after admitting long distance was what neither of us wanted, we'd have no chance. things would have gone to shit and we would have fought and while we never wanted to break up we did so on good terms.
I mean, you're not wrong. I guess I'd rather go through all that pain and have a chance with you than ruin everything because we tried to make things work when they weren't going to.
exactly. I'm not saying it was easy, because leaving was the hardest thing I could have done, but we both did it and we both have matured from it. I was fourteen feeling feelings not even some eighty year olds feel, Karl. you have to admit, the entire thing was so beyond overwhelming to handle at such a young age. as I grew up I learned how to properly handle my feelings for someone.
Have you dated anyone else?
one person. his name was Jackson. he was good for a while, nice to me treated me well. he was everything perfect for me but he wasn't you and I was not in love with him. so I left him, because why should he be forced to love someone who doesn't love him back as intensely. he deserves to feel what. me and you felt, and to know he feels that with someone else gives me so much more closure than I could have ever wanted.
I literally went to his wedding a few weeks ago actually. he and his wife thanked me for letting him go. he never understood why I couldn't love him like I loved you until he realized what I meant with his wife.
he wished me luck in getting you back actually lol.
have you dated anyone else?
Not really long term, I had some flings here and there but nothing like how we were.
Alright, I have to go, are we still on for tonight though?
yes ofc, let me just go run to my best friend really quick.
That's why she hasn't texted me yet 🥸
shut up nimrod <3
Bye, Alex <3
bye bye, Karl <3
