four.

(a/n: listen to bulletproof love by pierce the veil while reading this.)

I haven't seen michael in over a month. I was busy packing and moving. and the 7 hours between us seemed to get in the way. but we continued to text and snapchat everyday. i didn't really like my new school and I didn't see a point in starting here with a month left, but my parents disagreed.

I sat down on my bed and stared at my posters. I had three of my walls completely covered. mikey would be proud of all of the posters. I sent him a picture of my room.

rileyyy: only thing my room is missing is you.

machinegunclifford: you're so cheesy, love.

rileyyy: says the guy with the mgk name.

machinegunclifford: you know you love me.

rileyyy: yeah, I guess. when are you coming to visit? I miss my blue haired best friend.

machinegunclifford: soon. by the way, my hairs purple now ;)

rileyyy: everything's changing :(

I couldn't help but be upset. I really missed michael. I wanted to show him around town. I tried to forget about everything, but I couldn't. the only person that can make me feel better when I get like this is mikey. I decided to facetime him.

"rileyyyyyyy, you're so cute in your glasses, and your hair in a bun." "stop making fun of me gordon." he stuck his bottom lip out. "you think you're cute clifford? you kind of are." "trust me, I know I am. but not as cute as you are babe." i hated when he did this. I care about him so much but all this fucking distance sucks. "stop. you know you can't say that. not when we have over 2000 miles keeping us apart. you're my best friend and I hate being so far away from you." "riley, I didn't mean to make you upset. you know you mean everything to me. honestly, I don't have anything keeping me here in this washed up town, except my three friends. they're my brothers but they're more like family to me than my piece of shit dad. if I didn't have them, I'd be by your side right now." he's such a fucking sweetheart. "riley, not seeing you everyday at school and not being able to hug you is driving me fucking crazy. and if I were with you right now, id be holding onto you so tight, I'd probably crack a rib or two. but we've been talking to each other since febuary, and I think that's enough time for me to fall for you. riley, I know you hate distance but can we try? can we try to make it work. you can't say you don't like me because it'd probably break my heart." "michael, this is gonna hard. but i care about you so much." "is that a yes?"
"of course."
