He's back.

He's back!!!

That's all I could think of for the next few days. I was extremely giddy just to have heard from him. Even my mom noticed the sudden shift in my mood. I tried my best to hide it from Missy, but I forgot she had him on her friends' list too. So, that meant she saw when he was last online. 

"I, uh..logged in his account?" Was my answer when she asked me about it. 

"Good try. You been too happy. Spill it." She narrowed her eyes. 

I scratched my head in annoyance. "You already know, so quit bugging me about it."

"Hmm. Are you going to be with him again?" Her voice was muffled as she rummaged through the fridge. 

"We have to work through a thing or two, but I'm not saying no."

She slammed the fridge door shut, apparently not finding anything worth digesting. And stared at me. 

I took off my glasses and walked about 25 feet away from her. 

"F*ck you doing, Ella?"

You know I'm basically blind without my glasses, so this way I can't see what kind of disapproving facial expressions you're making!" I called out.

"K. Later."

"Wait, where you going?"

"You have nothing to eat. I'm going home." 

"I'm coming too!"

"K, hurry up. I'm hungry."

"Missy." 

"What?" 

"I dropped my glasses and now I can't find them. They're too light colored, and the carpet it too dark." I said crouching down and spread my hands around trying to find my glasses like a blind person.

"They're right there." I looked up to see her standing in front of me.

"I know they're here! But where?!"

"To your right."

I turned to my right feeling around for them.

"Oops. I meant behind you." She laughed.

Realizing that she was messing with me, I got up towards her.

"Damn you, Missy, you.." I stopped when I felt my foot come in contact with something. "F*ck." Crouching down, I grabbed my glasses and put them on.  Ah, how good it was to see details again.  I frowned when I saw, they were slightly bent.

Great.

"You should lose your glasses more often." Missy smirked, walking out. I frowned at her, and was about to follow her out, when my phone buzzed with an email.

My face lit up when I saw Damon's name. "Missy, you go ahead. I'll catch up in a bit."  I called out.

Sitting down on the couch, I hurriedly opened his email.

*Hey babe, 

Can I call you that? I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry I disappointed you. Yes, I was looking for any reason to break up with you.

I knew how hard it was going to be to say goodbye to you. But guess
what..I couldn't do it. You ask if I still love You? Yes I do. Like I said I 'll always love u. Even after you get married and have ten kids... I'll love you.  How's your family? I hope everyone is well. Well, I better go...and yes I'd love to say we're still together.. only if you agree. Plus I haven't seen any divorce papers, soooooo ____yea.. hehe.. :P baby.. I love you..
