//Lily//

Dear Lily,

The days are longer, and the nights darker without you.

Are you still angry?

That's the question i ask myself everyday.

I'm sorry that i caused so much trouble, and i'm sorry if that's the reason why you went back home.

But, i hope, even though you are back home, thay you'll be happy.

I remember the day we met.. like it was yesterday..
You standing there, in the doorway, looking beautiful, even though you were tired.

I remember your laugh, your smile, your eyes when you talked about something that made you happy.

I remember everything.. it's a great memory.

But, deep down, i hope that one day we can make more memories.

I love you Lily.

Love, Calum.

I sigh, and wipe the tears off my face.
I look at the picture of us, and shake my head.
What do i want? One part of me says, that i have to go back.. and that i graduate, and that i have to go back to Mali, and Calum.

But, the other part of me, doesn't want to. I don't want to get hurt again.
I close the photo album, and decide to take a shower.

"How was it?" I ask, and Mali sighs. "God, Calum, am i already home?" She says, and puts her bags on the floor.
I go to the kitchen and take two glasses and lemonade out, and sit down at the kitchen table.
Mali sits down in front of me, and i look at her.
"She was good Cal.." Mali said. "She looked beautiful, and enjoyed her time back home.. she admits that she missed the times at college.. and she does miss you." Mali says, and there it is again, the tears in my eyes.
"And, my letter?" I ask, and Mali sighs. "I told her that she had to open it when i was gone." She says, and i nod.
I lay down on my bed, staring at the ceiling like i do every night, thinking about my life, and what i'm going to do tomorrow, but most of the time i end up doing nothing.

School begins again in a few days, and that means that i have to go back to college, but i don't want to.
It reminds me of Lily, and i hate seeing her empty desk in class.

I hear a small knock on the door, and Mali walks in with her phone.
"Awake?" She whispers, and i nod. She walks towards me, and she lays down beside me.
"Lily called me.." she says, and i look at her. "What did she say?" I ask, and Mali sighs.
"It was about the letter.. she found it beautiful." She says, and i smile.
"Mali, do you think i am ever going to see her again?" I sit up, and Mali follows. "I don't know Cal.. she's scared to get hurt again." Mali says, and i sigh. "I'll never hurt her again." I say.

School starts again, and i walk into class, and sit down at my usual desk by the window, and i'll just imagine that Mali is sitting beside me.
I miss her in class.
I'm early, and the teacher walks in.
"Ah Lily, i needed you!" He said, and i frown. "And why?" I ask, and the teacher sits down in front of me.
"well, you've been to college right?" He asks, and i nod. "Not that it was cool, but yes i did." I say.
"well, the classes from the first year are going to visit a college on friday, so they can see what they can do after school, and i thought, you know how college is, so would you like to come with us, and tell them something about it?" He asks, and i shrug. "I don't know.. i have lessons on friday." i say.
"Oh you can skip. This is for school, so it's not a problem." He smiles, and i sigh.
"Fine, i'll come" i say.
"Great! I'll send you more information before friday!" He says, and one question comes up in my mind.

"Where is the college?"

"Not so far away from here."
