I rolled over and grabbed my phone. I squinted at the bright light; 7:38am. I yawned and stretched out. My phone buzzed. It was Jake. 'I miss you ☹️' I typed a reply. 'Leave me alone.' I clicked send and swung my legs out of bed.

I got ready for school- I straightened my hair and did my makeup. "Are you ready to leave?" My Mum called. "Yeah." I shouted back. She passed me a coffee and a cereal bar. I put my bag in the footwell and bit into it.

We pulled up and I jumped out. "See you later." I called, closing the door. "See you later sweetie." Erika grinned as I walked up. "Hey sexy." She said. "Hey bitch." We walked to the toilets. "So how are things with you and Jake?" She asked, adjusting her top. "We still aren't speaking, it's over for me." I shrugged. "I'm really sorry Hun." She smiled. She rested her hand on my shoulder. "I'm fine honestly." I lied.

When I got home, the door was unlocked. Confused, I walked straight in. "Mum?" I called, I shut the door and turned around. Jake was sat on the bottom of the stairs, he stood up and looked at me. His eyes filled with tears and so did mine. I felt sick and my chest was tight. "Why are you here?" My voice barley came out, my throat was thick as a tear rolled down my face. "Because I love you and I want to fix this." He whispered. His eyes looked straight into mine. "I love you too, but we live miles apart. We live two very different lives Jake." I whispered. I wiped the tears off my face. "I came here, because you mean so much to me. I adore you and I love you more everyday. I'm asking for you to give us one more chance to try."

Jake and I met about 3 years ago abroad in Greece. We were both on family holidays and we got chatting. We were both out there for 3 weeks and we instantly clicked. We gelled so well and I really fell for him. We stayed in touch and I ended up flying to Ohio 2 months after Greece. We made it official and began long distance. We saw each other 4 times in the first year, 5 in the second year and 3 times in the last 9 months. Which isn't a lot for two people who are so deeply in love.

"Some nights I wake up at like 3 in the morning and I need you, but I can't have you. Whilst you're miles away sleeping, I'm sobbing because I miss your touch. Kissing you, being near you, stroking your hair...all those little things build up over time. It tears me apart not being able to hold you when I want you, or to hear your voice right next to me or to feel your breath on my cheek." I said, tears were bouncing off my face and down my neck. "I want this more than anything okay? I want all of you, all of the time. We finish school in 2 months and then we can give this 100000% okay? We can do this, I can stay for 2 nights and then I have to be back to study for my last few exams...Then, you can be in my arms forever." He said. I reached out and wiped his eyes.

"I love you too Jake, I want you...I want you so badly..." I paused biting down on my lip. I stepped forward and held him tightly. "I want to make this work." I whispered.
