Long distance

      "Hey Sam." It was George. He walked in like we had been married for a few years. He closed the door trapping the steam in. He sat on the counter looking at the ground. "Hey so um this is probably one of the worst times but about... us." He started to speak again.

      "Can you wait till I'm done." I asked as I shampooed my hair.

      "No. I mean, Yeah but." He sounded nervous. "Look I like you a lot."

      "Joji please. I had a great day with you then it turned sour, can I please take my shower and we just talk about whatever it is you want when I'm done?" I opened the siding doors a bit and stuck my head out. I looked tired, pissed off and sad all rolled into one. He bit his lip and nodded his head still staring at the ground.

      "Okay." He replied sliding off of the counter and leaving the bathroom. I took my shower in peace, left alone by everything including my thoughts. when I had gotten out I out on a clean pair of underwear and a shirt a little to baggy for me. I dried my hair as best as I could then took out the blow dryer and used it on the rest of my hair. When it was mainly dry I put it up in a messy bun and opened the door.

      He was laying in my bed asleep. I couldn't blame him it was almost one in the morning and we did have a pretty interesting day. I shook his shoulder a bit to wake him up. "What?" He said tiredly opening his eyes to a squint.

      "What is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked him.

      "I really like you." He replied not really knowing what he was saying. He rubbed his face to wake himself up more. "I have always really liked you. Since the day I met you." He sat up. I leaned up against the bed post. "I was just thinking, I have always been thinking Even when i moved away if we, you and I, could become something more."

      "You we actually dated?" I asked. He nodded pulling the blanket up to his neck. "Go back to sleep and I will think about it, okay?" I said to him. He nodded his head again and laid back down. It didn't take much for him to fall back asleep. I turned off all the lights in the room and crawled in bed next to him.

      When I  had woken up in the morning his arm was round me pulling me close to him. He was still sound asleep. I slipped out of bed without waking him and went down to the kitchen to find one less guy and all depressing faces besides Zoe, she looked as she always looked. Apparently after Zoe left my room last night she told Mariah everything so on top of death she had everything he had done on her mind. I should have just told her when it first happened so he wouldn't have been in our lives since mid tenth grade.

      I grabbed my Starbucks cup off the counter and went back to my room. Wait, were didn't the Starbucks come from? Zoe was saying something about it but I wasn't listening I just saw it had my name on it. I set up my laptop on the desk and opened the lid. I opened skype and called my mom. She wasn't going to figure out what happened the night before, no one needed to know. It rang twice before my mothers face came up on the screen.

      "Hey mom." I waved to her.

      "Hey baby how are you liking Japan? Is it everything you had hopped since high school?" She asked curiously.

      "Yeah actually its more then I had hoped for I actually ran into a freshman college buddy of mine and he had another friend that I haven't seen since high school fly out here." I started to tell her.

      "Oh really? And who is he?" I smiled at her and picked up the laptop and walked over to the bed. I set it down on the bed making sure she could see his face. His hair was all messed up and he kind of his himself under the blanket. I brought the computer back to the desk and sat down. "Didn't you like him and then he left without saying a word to you?"
