The Diary of Me and You

Entry 2

Valentine's Day has passed. No before you ask Zero was not my boyfriend. I had actually bought him a valentines chocolate fish before our first date... but left it in the fridge for way to long after. As in like today is my brothers birthday and I haven't seen Zero to give him his fish.
Zero is still asleep while my brother wakes everyone up for his birthday party. Which is small, but it's something. We load into the car to Charleston taking him to the nearest Chuck E. Cheese. It's about an hours drive from where we live, less if your where Zero lives. The drive is uneventful. Mostly chit chat and silence. When we arrive Zero has just woken up, it's already like 12. I've grown accustomed to this. He sleeps a lot... like a lot a lot.
When the fun of having tokens dwindle, we run my brother through the prizes so we can load up. Arriving back into my now home town little man wants ice cream. We stop in front of the Dairy Queen not to far from the local schools. This town has always been small, lacking much interest, full of history, and of corse everyone knew everyone. Except me. Which by my standards was just fine.
Something just seemed off today with me though, not just the usual off of like being stuck in a huge crowd. It was more than that. I couldn't stop feeling like he was missing. Like he needed to be here, that I needed him. Needed him in my life and really liked him. It had taken me this long to find out and this poor boy stayed as I did. Proving himself over and over. Suddenly my fingers just slid over the keyboard.
My message was not short and sweet. It was a paragraph, cause suddenly I just couldn't explain. I told him that I wanted him in my life, that I didn't know how this would go or what would happen. But I wanted to try, to work... if he would have me. Today on February 22nd of 2017 I started to date Zero.
