Three Thousand Miles To You(79)

Hey Adrian what are you doing?

He takes literality about thirty seconds to reply.

Alanna are you okay.

He always does this every time I text him first, it is like he cannot understand why I would text him.

Yes, Adrian I am fine you do that every time, why.

I just worry when I see a text from you.

Okay, what have you been doing lately?

Just working and you,

I have been studying.

Have you been sleeping enough?

Yes, do not worry.

What about Michael,

What about him,

How is he?

Good I think.

You think, did something happen?

Unaware if he knew about the other night, I do not know what to say to him. If he knows and I do not say, then he will know I lied to him and on the other hand if say yes, then I will still look like a liar for not telling him what happened, I decide to go for honesty.

Adrian the other night Michael told me how he felt about me.

I know he told me.

Good job I went for honesty, it is as if Adrian knows everything.

He did.

Yes, he also told me that you told him that you need him, but you love me.

I did, are you mad at me?

No Alanna I am not mad, but he misses you so I suggest you go talk to him, Okay?

I will eventually, I made up with Sophie.

When did this happen?

Today,

What happened?

We talked, Adrian I had to tell her some things about your past, is that okay?

Not really, but if you say you had to then it is okay, I know you would not tell just anyone.

I would not, but I felt that if she knew more about you then she would back off and accept you.

Everything you do has me in mind.

That is because I love you.

Baby, do you ever want to get married?

I never thought about it before, why are you asking me to marry you.

Do you really think I would over a text?

No, I guess not.

Seriously, though Alanna is it something you want.

I feel that, you do not need to be married to be happy.

Are you saying it is not for you?

No I am just saying that I could be happy not being married.

Therefore, you could be happy without love.

I could never be happy without you, but I do not think that you need to married to love someone.

I see,

What about you, do you want to get married one day?

Yes, I have long wanted to be married and have a family. I never had one so I would like to think one day I would.

You have me.

Yes, I do but I would like to be married to you, so I can have you always.

You have me you do not need paper to know that.

I feel you do not agree with me on this.

You are only twenty-five and I am twenty-two, there is plenty time for all this.

You would think so, but giving the circumstances, there is not.

You talk as if it is over; you have given up the fight, why?

I have not, I just feel as if I might lose you and I want to make you mine.

I am not property.

I know that, but to me you are the reason I breathe. The reason I get up, the reason I believe that good things can happen for me. Therefore, you see why I want to own you. I do not ever want to lose the feeling of, love from a woman.

I will always love you and I will never be like Alice.

No, you are not like her, she is poison and you are gold, a deep glittering gold that can love someone like me.

You are the most loving person I know and I am lucky to have you.

Baby I think that you are unlucky to be with me. Sometimes I think that you would be better off with someone else.

I could never be with anyone else; there is nothing I could want more than, you.

Alanna what about, your life,

What about it,

You seem in denial that you are in danger.

I am not in denial. I just choose to be positive about it.

How can you be?

I just am, Adrian I have something I need to tell you.

What is it?

Sophie told me that a package came for me the other day.

Did she open it?

No, I am planning to go get it tomorrow.

No, you are not I will a send someone to get it for you.

No Adrian, I will be fine besides Sophie will not let a stranger into the room.

She will have classes and they can use your key when she is gone.

No, I am suffocating; I cannot stay in this house forever.

It will not be forever, but I can assure you that you will not be going back to that college, anytime soon.

That is the thing, I might have to go back and take my exams there.

No Alanna that is not possible, the headmaster told me that you could study from home.

Yes, I can study from home but the board has to decide on whether I can sit the exam at the campus.

Alanna I was under the impression that you were to sit the test from home.

Yes, I can but I want the college experience, I want to take my exams with my friends.

Alanna you cannot!

Adrian it is my life and I want to do this, if the board decide to let me.

I will make sure that they do not.

Adrian if do that, I will never forgive you!

Alanna why do you do this to me,

Do what,

Torture me like this, I am trying to keep you safe but no matter what I do, you always want to rebel against it.
