Tom?

Yep sorry, just I don't know, everything's fine Beth but it's just

Just what?

You deserve better than me that's all

What the heck are you talking about

You like me. I like you. Alright that's settle. But I don't deserve you...you deserve so much more than me and talking to you reminded me that we could end up Together but it wouldn't be right to you. You need more, you deserve more.

Tom where did you get all this

The way we treated you in high school was awful. I was just following the crowd and there's really no excuses for what I did but. I don't know I was a dumb high schooler in love with you and didn't know how to show emotions I'm sorry

Tom

Beth it's fine. We all know I don't deserve you. I'm just trying to be blunt. Being with you only hurt you, you need someone to be there for you 24/7 you need someone who could drop everything and come to you. Someone who will lay with you and make you feel safe, and that's just not me

Tom...

I'm sorry for ignoring you. I hope we can try staying friends but whatever I just did probably ruined everything for me of being your friend. I know it's hard to come to a consensus with but it's really for the better in the end. I love you Beth and I will never stop loving you, please understand that this is for you. I live in England you live in the states, it was never meant to work from the beginning. Please keep me in your mind from time to time.

Tom could you just shut up! You ignoring me was the worst times of my life, me ignoring you before was the worst moments of my life. I need you weather you like it or not. And yes you might not be ready for us to date, or to date an emotional basket case like myself but I don't care. We can stay friends. Because Tom in the first time I was happy, happy where I was with my friendships and my life. I was happy talking to you for hours. Happy just listening to you tell me what you did and what's your plan for tomorrow. Your stupid idiot jokes and your dumb attempts for flirting. I was happy. That's what made me feel safe. I felt like you were right there next to me even though we were miles away

Beth ...

Pt.2 coming soon!😉
