Banded Reunion

Part 8

Dash fiddled with the keypad on his phone. It was two days before he was set to travel back down to Los Angeles and he was a tad bit nervous if he was being honest with himself. He had securely planned out his route of travel and the approximate time he would be back with his old friends. But there was still so much to work out.

And the one finally detail he couldn't figure out was Mae. They weren't together anymore-back and fourth in college didn't suit them and they broke up for good a few years back. But Dash had no clue if she was gonna be there-anywhere in California or if she was planning on staying with her folks in North Dakota. He let out a deep breath before his hands dialed one number that he practically knew by heart.

"Hey it's me. I don't know if the last few messages got through to you but I just wanted to-I guess see how you are doing." Oh yeah and I miss you he mentally added with a shake of his head. "Well it's cool or whatever if you did or didn't. Just wanted to wish you a happy holidays. Maybe we'll see each other sometime? Be able to catch up?"

He sighed into the phone. Now he was sounding pretty pathetic and desperate. Which was the las thing he wanted to come off as.

Dash didn't admit it to anyone-even himself before it was too late, but Mae was the one who "got away" and he regretted letting her go every damn day since then.
