Maria's pov

After several years of not speaking, I finally had the chance to reconnect with Jackson again. The thought of talking to him after all this time made me feel an overwhelming sense of joy. We started texting each other, and the conversation seemed to be going well. However, as time went by, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. Despite my excitement, I realized that he still hadn't initiated a conversation with me yet.

The feeling of longing for him had been lingering in my heart for quite some time, and it was difficult to shake off. I wanted to be able to talk to him like we used to, but something felt different this time. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was a sense of distance between us that made me feel uneasy.

It had been more than three hours since I had last texted him, and still, there was no reply. I started to overthink everything possible for him to not text me back. Maybe he didn't want to talk to me after all. Perhaps talking to me made him feel useless because of the many years we hadn't talked. I was starting to wonder if I had made a mistake by reaching out to him in the first place.

But then, I heard a sound from my phone, indicating that I had a notification. My heart skipped a beat as I saw his name on the screen. I smiled and entered the chat to see what he had sent. 

*OMG Maria!! Bestie!! It's been so long since the last time we spoke!! I missed you so much!! Wait... did you miss me?? :'( How are you?? When did you reopen Likee?? How is life?? Still reading books like always or have you started being more naughty and watching Tiktok?? Started using make up?? How is life there in Albania??* - he had texted a whole paragraph and I could tell he was happy (because he had missed me), angry (because he didn't know why I had left) and super excited to finally start talking with me again.

*Yep It really has been long Bestie!! Yes I missed you too so much!! I am fine and you?? I reopened it today and immediately texted you because I had missed you Jackson!! Life is good!! How is yours??  Still reading bro, books are better than Tiktok!! What about you ?! Still the guy who has a crush on someone but is afraid to tell them?? (June) ;) I started using a little bit of lip gloss that's it. Life here is good but I wish I could be close to you right now!!* - I  responded him and asked him the same things he asked me. God I had missed him.

When we were 12, he had a crush on a girl named June. He liked her a lot but was too scared to tell her. I kept encouraging him to express his feelings, but he was afraid of being rejected. He is a really fun person and I hope to meet him someday. As other notifications came in, I checked the messages.

*I am fine if you could say that while having Cancer!! But I am better than 4 years ago.*
*I am glad you reopened it but it still want to know the reason why you deleted the app in the first place!! My life is good too!! I'm hoping it could get better but Idk about that yet!! I know you are a nerd Gurl I just thought maybe you had changed a little!! 😂 Me?! Tiktok of course and Likee!! Come on bestie you know why I can't tell her that I like her!! I am scared!! Lip gloss only?? Are you sure?? Girls our age use tons of make up!! I wish that too, but sadly we can't be close to each other and I really think I could use a hug from my bestie who lives in a different country right now!! ;)* - he had responded with all this paragraph and it made me tear up knowing he missed me that much.

I wish he could wake up tomorrow and no longer have cancer.
