That was painfull...But I got over it. Like I always did. If anything that's what this whole mess had taught me. Whatever happened I could always move past it. Just could never stop moving.
Two months later I felt ready to pick up my phone.
-I knew the 300th time would be a charm...
-What are you talking about?
-You, not returning my calls for the past two months...
-Oh yeah...that...Sorry...I've been busy...
-How's the new job? Where are you today?
-Rockford...It's going great...I just put in my two weeks' notice...
-What?
-Yep...
-Bored already?
-Not really...Just got a better offer...
-So where are you off to next?
-Cruise ships
-What?
-You heard me
-What are you going to do on a cruise ship?
-Hopefully meet loads of new interesting people, travel the world and get some good stories to tell...
-Sounds like a good plan...but what job are you going to do?
-I'm going to sell stuff...
-Sounds like fun...
-Who cares...Every job is the same...
-If you say so...
-Yes...so what did you want to talk to me about?
-Me?
-Yeah...with the 300 calls
-Oh yeah...just wanted to check how you were doing...it's getting hard to keep track though...
-Yes...life is short....
-Specially when you drink as much as you do...
-Funny...Speaking of funny...how's Farrah?
-Phoebe
-Yeah, how is she?
-Fine...
-Are you guys in love? Getting married What are you going to name your kids?
-Wow...
-What? Don't tell me you are afraid of commitment?
-I am not...but can I graduate college before you start giving me kids?
-I won't give you kids...Phoebe will...
-And how's your love life?
-Oh...I actually met someone...
-Really?
-Yeah...I had to do this one week training thing to work on the ship and I met this guy...Nice guy...
-Is he?
-Not really...he is kind of a jerk pretending to be nice...but I've been single for a while now...so...he'll do for now...
-Do you hear yourself sometimes?
-Why? Only guys can talk like that? Besides I am just being realistic...We are not even going to work for the same company...
-So it has an expiration date...too bad...
-Too bad? You were a better liar when I first met you...
-I guess I was...you couldn't tell I was lying then...
-And that is why I am being more careful now...
-Everyone is guilty until proven innocent?
-Everyone is a jerk until proven otherwise...
-Did I scar you for life?
-Cute...don't flatter yourself honey...I just let my guard down with you...Just want to make sure it won't happen again...
-Good...'cause when it does it will be me again...and this time I'll be ready...
-Dream on...
-You'll see...
-So when is your graduation?
-Next month...will you be around?
-Probably not...
-Too bad
-Any big plans for the future?
-Get drunk out of my mind and cry for my lost hopes and dreams...
-Sounds like a great plan
-And after that I don't know...Try to get a job...
-In Chicago of course
-Of course
-Will you ever leave?
-Is that an invitation?
-Nope...
-Then probably not...
-That is just sad...
-Not all of us are running away from something...
-oh and what am I running away from?
-I still haven't figured it out yet...But I'll let you know...
-Please do...
-Happy graduation Rocker guy
-Happy new job Professor Bad ass
-Send my love to Phoebe
-Send my love to Jerk
Yes...send love to jerk. Right. As previously mentioned jerk had an expiration date. And that was actually a good thing. What would come next was something no one or nothing could have prepared me for. Life at sea was good. Life at was actually the best choice I could have made.
