And You Are?

1st December: 2016

9:30am:
ITS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS

9:30am:
what?
Amy
christmas is weeks away

9:30am:
don't burst my bubble
I love december
the hot drinks and cold weather

9:30am:
ah the stereotype of christmas, the joy.

9:30am:
alright
just because its hot for you at christmas
with your BBQ on the beach

9:30am:
we don't do that...
stereotyping? again?

9:31am:
come on
I've only been to Australia twice
and both times were years ago.

9:31am:
you coming to see your brother before Christmas?

9:31am:
no :(
we are seeing him in the new year, visiting him and some family we think.
No set plans yet.

9:31am:
where is he again?

9:31am:
Sydney
not the most ideal place but hey, that's life

9:31am:
how far are you from London?
roughly

9:31am:
bit off topic isn't it?

9:31am:
blame it on curiosity

9:31am:
I'm not sure, maybe 2 hours?

9:31am:
so you're 2 hours from London and I'm 12 hours from Sydney.

9:31am:
imagine that
me visiting my brother and you being half the day away, not half the world away.
what a life.

9:32am:
so you'd want to visit me?

9:32am:
would that be such a bad thing?

9:32am:
I can see it now...

9:32am:
enlighten me then

9:32am:
you arrive in the airport at Sydney, glance around to find your brother when a stranger approaches you.
a sign in his hands saying 'Hi Amy,'
then you ask questions and each of my cards corresponds answering as I go-

9:32am:
Ashton that is like Love Actually
don't ruin a classic

9:32am:
ouch.

9:32am:
can't let you do that.
plus realistically I'd be half asleep, jet lagged and a mess who you won't recognise.
and then we'd cross paths and not even realise.

9:33am:
tragic ending to our poetic story.

9:33am:
there's always something in the way isn't there?

9:33am:
or even someone?
again, about the other night with the story

9:35am:
it's okay
I wanted you to know
at least you get why I don't trust easily.

9:35am:
do you think you'll ever see him again?

9:35am:
everyone tells me not to
part of me wants closure.
just to finally say it to him, have the last word whilst I'm strong and preferably not unconscious

9:35am:
you don't think he'd try anything, do you?

9:35am:
he's like a switch, Ashton.
one fault and he's enraged.

9:35am:
that's what happened

9:36am:
that's what happened.

**

12:21pm:
Okay, I get it.
Not wanting to see me.
You can't trust me I know. But I wish you'd at least respond.

13:01pm:
remember that brunch place we went to on our fourth date?
by the outdoor ice skating rink?

13:02pm:
Amy, I
I'm sorry

13:02pm:
if you want to apologise meet me there.
3 days Liam.
that's all you're getting.
See you then.
