It's been two days since Amber left and it's the weekend, Ambers been busy unpacking so we haven't exchanged many text messages.
Laying in bed I rolled and tossed and turned but couldn't sleep for the life of me. (You don't even know how hard it is to toss and turn and roll when you have a tube that gets wrapped around you and kinked.)
*beep beep*
I picked up my phone to Amber calling me and I hit answer.
"Hello." My voice cracked so I retried "Hello."
"Hey did I wake you up?"
"No I haven't been able to sleep." I'm so happy I don't have to lie to her anymore.
"Me neither. I start school here tomorrow and I'm scared."
"Don't be you'll be fine. Just picture everyone in there underwear."
I heard a soft laugh on her side of the phone "first off don't want to see my teachers in their underwear and second that's all just a stupid myth."
"Well fine then. Act as if I'm there with you every step of the way, holding your hand tight and if you need me I'll be a text away, I'll reply ASAP because I am not going to school tomorrow."
"Awwww..."
Dammit! She's halfway across the country now. If I asked her to stay would she have? No why would she that's just dumb.
"Jackson?"
"Oh hey sorry zoned out ." I laughed nervously.
"Jackson."
"Yes?"
"If I could go back to the week you were in the hospital I would fix everything I would of been there everyday. I wouldn't have been with Ryan and I would never ever have left you because now I know that I love you and I should have realized that before, no matter if you had a year, a month, a week, a day or an hour I would spend that time to tell and prove to you that I do love you Jackson.... I do."
My mind froze, my face was hot from blushing (yes I blush shhh) and I was speechless.
"Jackson?" She said my name after a minute of silence.
"I love you too." Was all I managed, my voice cracking as if I was a teenage boy on puberty, and I panically ended the phone call.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
My beautiful peopleI don't know if panically is a word but now it is! Because I say! Is this story too boring now tell me what I need to do give me ideas I'm open to anything.
If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours. 😇😙
