COMPLETED
Alissa Montgomery has had enough bad experiences in her life, so going to college should be a good one. Making new friends comes easy to her, but maintaining the relationship with one of her new friends is nothing short of complicated. Al...

"Go long," Luca says and I laugh hysterically as I run down the field awaiting his pass to me.
I catch the ball just in time, but still manage to fall over on the ground.
"Shit. Alissa are you ok?" he says as he runs over to me, but I'm still laughing.
"I'm fine I'm fine," I say when he picks me up off the turf.
"Good catch though," he laughs at me.
Although it's still cold outside, the sun is out making it a tolerable day. Luca wanted to get out and do something so I suggested he teach me how to play football. We're really just goofing off, but I'm having a good time.
Billie has been gone for almost a month and it hasn't really gotten any easier. Her birthday was spent on a FaceTime call with me and Josie while we watched her celebrate with her family and some people she met over in LA. I talk to her maybe once or twice a week and she's gotten horrible at responding to messages.
In this amount of time she's gotten pretty popular and her fan base is slowly growing. Sometimes the only updates I get are via social media fan accounts and whatever she decides to post on Instagram.
Apparently she and Finneas are working on an EP and some festival performance dates are being scheduled. It all seems so cool and I'm happy she's getting to experience it.
As Luca puts his arm around me and we start our walk across campus I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling it out I see it's a text from Billie. It's late where she is so I know she's using this time to reply to messages.
Billie: Sorry I've been MIA. We've been recording non stop. What are you doing right now?
Me: I understand. I just got done playing football with Luca. Headed back to my dorm now.
Billie: I wish I could see that lol! I miss you like crazy.
I look up to see if Luca is reading my messages but he's too into his own phone.
Me: I miss you too Bil. How are you feeling?
Billie: I'm ok. It gets crazy sometimes and I feel lonely, but I'm dealing with it. For real though, I wish I could kiss you.
Me: Stop it. I can't talk like that with you.
Billie: I know.... Are you happy?
Me: I am. It's taken some time, but I'm happy. I want you to be happy too.
Billie: I'm focused on music right now. That and knowing you're good is all I need.
I start to type a response, but she sends another message.
Billie: I'm going to get some sleep. Text you when I can.
I sigh and put my phone away. Some days I wish she just wouldn't text me anymore so that I can just forget how I feel. I want to tell her I miss her and I think about kissing her often, but what good would that do?
