Chapter 8: They Text

//Both\\

Amara's phone went off.

She looked at the screen "Snapchat from Waterman."

Holy sh.it.

~~

Alex looked at his phone. He couldn't believe he texted her. He'd done it.

Now he needed a reply, please Am, please reply.

~~

Hesitantly Amara slid her phone and unlocked it. She watched her screen turn yellow and show her her recent snapchats.

Am I really gonna do this? She thought. Yes, I've got to.

She slid right and opened up the chat section of snapchat.

~~ POV switch to Third Person ~~

Did you text me? - Alex

No. Why? - Amara

You texted me on my Skype.

I deactivated my Skype Alex.

Well, then my Skype is bugging.

Guess you took a trip down memory lane.

I never wanted to.
I've been trying to delete you from my mind. My memories. Everything.

Me too. A lot of things remind me of you.

How so?

She thought about telling him her dream. Nah.

Uhm, Salma, Uliana and my mom tease me.

Oh. Well, I think of you too.

How are you?

I see you haven't lost your dodging skills. I've been okay I guess.

How's Isabel?

Happy. And that makes me happy.
He had to lie to her. She can't know he has been off the rails.

That's great Alex.

I'm moving in with her.
This wasn't a lie, but he hadn't meant to tell her. He wasn't even happy about it.

OML ALEX! That's great!
It was hard for her to be so happy for him.

Yeah...
She was being so nice and understanding. It didn't make any sense.

Whats wrong?

I don't really want to.

Why not?

I'd be moving in with someone I hurt. I almost traumatized her.

Oh.

I blame myself you know.

It takes two Alex.

Yeah but I started it.

And I finished it... Or rather my mom did.

Sure...

Alex, it's time we say goodbye.
That hurt. She felt sick saying that. Then again she knew it was time.

It is isn't it? It's for the best right?

Yes.

There was a silence between both of them. Both wanted the other to start.

I'll start. Alex we need to let go, that's why I'm saying bye. Bye Alex.

Don't go. Don't leave me yet. Please.
He did not want to lose her.

That's not what's supposed to happen. You're supposed to say bye back to me. Don't make this harder Alex.

I know, I know. Just promise me something. Please.

What? What could you possibly want from me?

Where will you be in 10 years?

Uh I'm not sure.

Will you still be in Illinois?

Yeah, either here or England. I want to go to Oxford.

I want you to go there too. In 10 years, promise me we'll meet.

How can I promise something like that?

You have to. I need you too.

ok. 10 years.

10 years.

Goodbye, Alex.

Goodbye, Amara.
