Long Distance

The Cancellation

Since I will not be attending work for a whole week, I am working crazy hard.

Over the legal limit for someone my age.

I was already taking a vacation leave, and the dates seemed to line up perfectly.

If you were wondering I have a job at a little computer repair company, not much but it keeps money in my pocket.

I finished my day and headed home.

I worked my but off, all I could do was fall out on the couch.

Flicking on the news I see Severe Weather Storms.

They were talking about the flash floods in the south.

They seemed to grow 10x worse then before.

Oh my gosh Tyson!

I scrambled through my purse till I find my phone and just as I was about to hit dial a call came in.

Jackson's pathetic behind.

I declined and continued to call Tyson. After so many rings it went to voicemail.

Just as I was about to worry I got a message from him

"Sorry I can't talk right now"
-Ty

"Are you okay down there?"
-Mel

"The floods?"
-Ty

"Yea"
-Mel

"I'm okay but they are getting kinda bad, that's what I wanted to talk to you about..."
-Ty

"What's going on Ty?"
-Mel

"Well the floods are getting serious, the only way you could get down here is by boat. I think you have to cancel."
-Ty

"Cancel??? How can we cancel?"
-Mel

"It's not safe Mel, and I don't want you getting hurt"
-Ty

"Well I think that's my decision to make Tyson"
-Mel

"I'm serious Mel, you know I wanted you down here just as much as you want to come, but you'd water log the car engine before even making it to Ohio"
-Tyson

I was mad, fuming actually. He thinks we can just cancel?

I noticed more notifications and saw he was speaking to everyone in the group.

Telling them about this cancelation.

The day has came we were supposed to leave and everything has been put on hold.

Lilly called the hotel and managed to get our money back, and the stay cancelled.

That girl could persuade the fur off a cat.

I haven't talk to Tyson since the day he said we had to cancel.

I know it wasn't his fault but I couldn't help it my anger was directed towards him.

I managed to change my working schedule back, so everything is back to normal.

Another week has passed without speaking to Tyson.

I'm not gonna lie I worry about him, but he still posts memes and quotes on Instagram so I know he is living. He hasn't talked much in the group though.

But I have to stop worrying about him, he's a big boy. He can take care of himself.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the bell rang.

I gathered my belongings and headed to my locker so I could leave.

As I was shoving books in my locker I felt two arms snake around me.

"So you just gonna keep eyeing me in the halls ways...like you don't miss us." He asked smoothly m.

I pulled his arms away from me "Because I don't Jackson!"

He attached himself back around me.
"I've tried everything, buying you flowers, telling you straight, I even tried to give you space to just come to me, and all you do it watch me. I'm sick of your games Mel, stop tripping and let's just be happy. " he cooed.

"I'm not playing games, I'm just sick of games, sick of you Jackson."

I tried pulling away but he only tightened his grip.

His lips brushed against my temple. "You say all that Mel, but just know your gonna be mine sooner or later.

Ugh, can't stand him. I pushed past him and carried on my marry way.

"Hey beautiful"
-Ty

"Hey handsome"
-Mel

"How's your day going?"
-Ty

"Good, but I'm missing you. We could of been together by now"
-Mel

"Don't worry, this weather is going to pass.
-Ty

Yea...hopefully.

I headed home and when I get there I see my mother is gone.

I don't pay it any mind. I carry on about my business.

I have about an hour before work so I take a quick shower and change.

As I walk to the computer repair shop in the mall I skim the windows of all the shops.

An add for the Mac computer caught my eye. They are so beautiful.

I could create so much on one of those.

I was so caught in the add, I stumbled right into someone.

Whoever it was managed to move out the way while I landed flat on the floor.

"Watch where you are going fat a**" they snickered.

The voice was oh so familiar. I looked up to see no one other then her, the home wrecker in training.

Does this chick live in the mall or something, or is she just stalking me.

I had just about had it with her, but I wasn't gonna make a scene.

I collected myself and prepare to stand up until I saw a hand reach out to me.

"Thank you" I took the had without looking at the person, but when I was on my feet I saw it was no one other then the infamous Jackson.

I mentally rolled my eyes.

I said another thank you before stepping around him.

"Aye Mel, wait a second"he spoke grabbing hold of my arm.

Instead of stopping I politely jerked away and said "I appreciate the hand but, I'm gonna be late for work."

As I walked he hadn't said anything else so I peaked over my shoulder.

He was still standing in that same spot watching me.

I giggled a little before rounding the corner into my place of work.
