"Yes Jake?"I respond , my palms slowly becoming sweaty and uncomfortable .

I drive myself crazy thinking about All the things I wish we could do together , like go and see a movie or go out to dinner together and then I remember we can't , and exactly why we can't and it's all my fault , all my damn fault !So promise me that , even if you transfer halfway across the country or get married or have kids some day ,you will never forget me ?"
I take a deep breath and sigh.
