Once I had the house to myself, I went upstairs went to my room and walked toward my stereo, I began to play a soft melody that filled the room. I opened my window, so the cool sea breeze and the warm sun light could blow through. I walked over to my desk and slowly anchored myself down to the chair, I opened my computer and started to IM my best friend, well best friend might be too strong of a word. I have never met the guy and plus he lives in France, while I live in Lomita California. Clearly, it's not really a pin point on the map.
The way that I met Leon was through an assignment when I was in third grade, our teacher made us write to a person close our age in a different country that we have always wanted to visit. I chose Paris France, and Leon's name popped up. I wrote him a letter explaining how I wanted to go to Paris because Beauty and the Beast was my favorite princess movie and that is where I would find my prince. He wrote me back and said that he would be on the lookout for a hairy man with a prince's crown. From then on, I knew that I wanted to write to him about all my dreams and wants in life so that he could help me look for them. Who knows if I am still really talking to that same little boy from third grade or not and trust me the thought of me being catfished has crossed my mind a few times, but for some reason I don't think that I would really care if he wasn't who he says he is. I just know that he is there for me when I need him and that he actually cares to hear if something is bothering me and tries to come up with something so sweet yet so simple to cheer me up. If he can do that for me then I can let him pretend to be someone else if that's what he wants.
I could say that he knows everything there is to know about me, and I know everything there is to know about him. He is technically my best friend. I just don't say that out loud because that sounds kind of pitiful if you ask me. Leon has truly been there for me through thick and thin, hopefully he can say the same about me. I haven't IM him in a while, with everything that is going on in my sad, bizarre, messed up little life, I know that he worries if I don't contact him in long periods of time, but he also knows and tries to understand my situation.
As soon as I IM him, he sends one right back within five minutes.
Blair33AE:
Hey you! Long time no see, I guess I should really say talk. How's life in the foreign land?
Leon32:
Hey there stranger. All is well. You went M.I.A. on me there. I was worried that something was wrong. Anyhow it's great to finally talk to you. Anything new sunny land friend?
Blair33AE:
Yeah, I'm more than sorry about that I didn't really feel like talking to anyone with the whole death thing and plus I wasn't my normal witty self. Nothing new, I'm still extremely pregnant, lonely and single. You?
Leon32
Minus the Prego and the death part I would say we're the exact same.
P.S is it too soon for those kinds of jokes? If it is I apologize in advance.
Blair33AE
No. Not too soon, it surprisingly made me chuckle a little bit, I needed that. When did you and Julia break up? You too sounded so perfect together.
Leon32
Good I'm glad! I guess that I was not perfect enough. She said she found someone else that could meet her needs. Her loss I guess, just hate that I wasted 10 whole months on her. You know?
Blair33AE
Oh yes trust me I know. But think about it this way you had the experience to fall in love, and you got a good screw out of it right? Anyway, she is a complete idiot if she doesn't think that you of all people didn't meet her needs. UGH! I gotta go, Big ma just got back and have to help.
