Tom left for Florida and it had already been a week, we were in touch through emails and messages but not seeing him every day was very hard for me. We were never away from each other except for days when he was on vacation with his family! He was my constant companion and I was missing him badly! We never spoke or discussed our little moment that happened the other night when we were interrupted by my parents but I still get butterflies in my stomach whenever I think about it! Rachel and I have gotten even more close after Tom left and we spend our time studying or talking about boys, well actually Rachel talks and I mostly listen to her babble about the boys in our school.
Its been 6 months and Tom and I have been in touch through messages and he shares almost everything that happens in his life, from school to studies to the friends that he has made. He was telling me about this one girl who he hangs around with after school and tells me she reminds him of me, I can't help but get jealous when he mentioned that. I wanted to be the only close friend that he has and I couldn't imagine him being that close to any other girl! And seeing him talk about her made me furious inside. Of course, I couldn't let him see my jealousy. It had been a week I had not heard from Tom, he messages me every 2-3 days and not hearing from him made me anxious, " what if he was busy with that whore he keeps talking about", I was getting red just thinking about it! I messaged him a couple of time but there was no response! I decided to wait for his message, I'm sure he has a good explanation for being this busy and not responding! Two days later I get a message from Tom telling me that he was busy working on a school project, I didn't reply back as I was really angry at him. Sensing that I was ignoring him he messaged again the next day apologizing and promising me that he'll be in touch and reply messages more promptly! I couldn't stay mad at him for long and I gave in after a day of ignoring his messages! We were back to our usual sharing of details and discussing school life and friends!
It was Christmas time soon and the holiday season had begun, the time of the year where you want to be with your close friends and family! I missed Tom so much during this time, usually on Christmas, we would meet at my house and make cookies and cake but this time things were different, Rachel was busy with her new boyfriend and I was alone thinking about the times spent with Tom. It was getting very depressing, Tom was in another part of the country and I had to move on from all the memories I had with him. He was not coming back, at least anytime soon! After school opened after the holiday I decided to get the hang of my life by concentrating on new friends and moving on in life!
