My Superman (A Tim Tebow love story)

ESPN

I just got off my shift at the hospital and had the chance to look at my phone. I had a text from Tim. It said

Hey when you're done at work can you come over to my place? I have some news we should talk about.

What news? Good news hopefully? I don't know I hope everything is ok. I drove over to his apartment. My thoughts were racing but I knew everything would get better when I saw him and he told me what was up. I ran up to his door and he opened.

"Hey Leah!"

"Hey Tim! So what's up?! I said with my voice shaking.

We walked over to the couch and he explained.

"So I have a job offer."

"Oh really where?"

"ESPN. They want me to be a part of a show on the new SEC network."

"That's amazing wow! You must be so excited!"

"There's one thing though. I don't know yet where I'm going to live for the job and I'm going to have to do a lot of traveling."

"Oh that's ok. I mean I'll miss you but I know how to take care of myself."

Shit. The truth is the thought of him not being around me scares me a lot. But I didn't want to worry him because he is so happy about it and I'm happy for him.

----------------------------------------------

So Tim's been gone for a while now. It's kind of funny, after we got together I forgot what it was like to call myself names and not eat or eat way too much. Now that he's gone these thoughts are creeping back in. And I'm really freaking scared because I shouldn't depend on one person so much. I mean he still texts and calls me but it's not the same as him really being here. I understand why he didn't want me to travel with him, he's not ready for all the media attention he's going to get for having a girlfriend.

I don't want to tell him because he's all the way over in California and I'm still living in Boston until we get things figured out. Knowing him, he'd probably catch the first flight over here at the idea of me not eating right again. I don't want to burden him and I know I'll get better when we are together again.
