dez point of view

i get a call later on during the night, jumping because of the sudden noise.

"hello?" i ask

"hey dez! its james" my old friend, james, says.

"oh hey! its great to hear from you. hows it going?" i ask

"its alright i guess. but im planning to come down to florida and visit you. school isnt the same without you"

i snort,"yeah sure. James, honestly its a lot better without me. i'd be getting bullied right now and usually no one pays attention to me anyways"

"oh dont be so negative on yourself." he says and i just sigh. nothing is really needed to be said.

"wait, do you know who has been sending me those messages?"

"which ones? the bad ones?" james asks like a clueless idiot.

"yes" i say clearly annoyed.

"i am not sure, but i have heard people talking about it. i will see who is behind it later on or tomorrow i promise you that"

"okay. thanks James." i say and hang up.

i really miss new york. James is my best friend but it's always awkward on the phone and im not really sure why because we usually can talk forever.
why does it feel like things have changed?
i look around my room and sigh. yeah, a lot of things have changed in fact. where i lived, and my relationships, meeting austin. him telling me that he loves me. how is he even so sure? he barley knows me but... it sill feels like we've known each other for a while and we just understand each other a lot since we have been through most of the same things.
one of those things? neglection.
it doesnt even phase me anymore, i am just so used to being put down its just like, oh well then.

i wonder how austin dealt with his life. i know that i certainly didnt do anything positive. i hope austin didnt do anything bad because he is just to beautiful to be sad.

hopefully the more we come together, i learn that about him.
