The week had gone by so slow. I had never felt so dead to the world knowing that we could be spending our time together, but I was stuck for an entire week at school. I wanted to talk to Arthur every second of every day. Was this what being young in love felt like? On our daily face time call, I brought this up to Arthur, wanting to know if he was feeling the same as I was.

"Aw lovey!" Arthur cooed, I wanted to comment on the pet name, but I decided against it. I kinda liked Arthur's random pet names he had for me. I really didn't want to ruin anything that he was going to say next. "I miss you too, I can't wait for this weekend, then we can talk for hours in person," Arthur giggled, and I felt my heart melt.

I want to see him in person, right now. It was only Wednesday, I wasn't going to make it through this week, that was just a fact. I looked to the phone again. Hating how Arthur was just a 2D figure on my screen. I wanted to physically be with him again. It felt like it had been centuries since we had last been together in person.

"Arthur--" I whispered, "I don't think I can wait for Friday," I blushed at the honesty in my words. I really didn't want to feel the ache in my heart anymore. I needed to see him. Long distance was hard enough, but when your boyfriend was incredibly cute, it was even harsher to have a relationship on the phone.

"I can't wait either," he sighed, his eyes were past the screen, I grinned knowing that he was drawing something new. I wondered what was going on in his mind. I would trade a day of my life to see a glimpse of his thoughts in his head. He scribbled something on the paper, and looked back up at me. "Sorry, I was doodling, I'm gonna surprise you with something when you come over Friday, I hope you like it a lot,"

"I will, I like anything that you get me," I felt guilty for not getting him something, why didn't I think to get him a gift? He was inviting me over to his place, why the heck didn't I think to get him anything??

"Good," Arthur jumped, looking up at his phone, "ugh, my mom's calling me, I can text you later! If you don't mind?" I nodded, saying goodbye. This phone call was one of the shortest ones we had ever had. I was starting to get annoyed with myself and how needy I was becoming. Would Arthur hate me once he figured out how crazy-in-love I felt when he wasn't calling me?

Two more days, I thought looking at my calendar above my bed where I had circled Friday in big red marker. Two more days until I got to see Arthur in person. And I couldn't wait.
