After Dunkirk

Chapter 15

Georgia POV
The past couple of days have surprisingly been going pretty smooth between Alex and I.

I mean of course with that being said, we're not rushing into anything either.

Things feel a bit strange right now and I find myself constantly pondering over if I'm doing the right thing or not.

I don't want to just act like we're just okay because of what he said because I do still feel that maybe we should talk over a few more things.

But at the same time I think maybe it's best that I put it off for a little while. I don't want him to feel pressured or anything either. And I also just don't want him to cut me off again.

I know it probably isn't healthy to think like this but I can't help it, I need him.

It's so weird because I had already worked out in my head that I would be angry and hostile towards him, or at least for the first the little bit for him hurting me the way he did but right now it's like none of that seems to even matter anymore and it's like all I want to do is protect him and love on him.

I'm weak, I know. But I can't help but have compassion for him, especially right now. He's been going through a lot.

We've talked on the phone almost every night past week and I really like it. I can't deny the fact that I've missed him.

I'm just hoping for both of our sakes though that we can get him the help he needs because I know right now he's just putting on a brave face.

There's so much more that still needs to be taken care of and sorted out, but honestly this in itself is such a huge step for him, actually trying to talk to me for once.

I just hope he's willing to open up to even more help.

Alex POV
I end up for some reason waking up pretty early this morning. It still feels a bit weird waking up at my mom's house.

Don't get me wrong she's good company and all but I'm used to my own space and I don't want to make this living situation anything long term.

This is just til I get my shit together and then I'll be out and hopefully things can just go back to normal.

I know that's easier said than done but I know I just gotta do what I gotta do.

I miss waking up to Georgia too.

I miss her.

We've been talking on the phone and I'm glad she's even talking to me period but it's not the same as seeing her in person.

I might as well call and see if she's up. I'm not doing anything else right now, so might as well.

"Hello?" She says with a scratchy sounding voice.

"Hey did you just wake up?"

"No, I was up. My voice just sound a little scratchy, I think I might be catching a cold or something."

"Yeah, I think a lot of people have been getting sick lately. Have you taken any medicine yet?" I ask her.

"No I might run by the store later and pick up some, I've got to go to my doctors appointment first though." She says.

"Oh you have an appointment today? What time?" I ask.

"11:00." She says.

"Oh okay. Do you have anyone to take you?"

"Well Gia was supposed to but she said something came up, so I don't know now. I guess I could ask my mom."

"I can take you, you know if you want.." I offer.
