A Tail of Long Distance Love: Chapter 2
I walk home from school. Me being 15 I can't drive. As I turned a corner into the main road through town my phone vibrated. A Tailbook message notification, from Folly. On the screen was "Guess what!" *click click click* I typed in "What? Are you moving here or something? lol" I slipped my phone back into my pocket. I got about ten steps before my phone was vibrating again. "Yep :)" "Bullshit, don't mess with me Folly, that's cruel :p" "No, Ronnie, I am serious! My parents are paying for it and everything! I got my visa! For free! It even covers part of my living expenses!" As I read this my tail was wagging like crazy, I begin hoping up and down as I start typing. "I think I'm about to faint! OMGOMG WHEN DO YOU GET HERE?!?!" I am now in full sprint to get home and turn on Skype. "My plane lands at DFW International Airport in 5 days, I have already got my living arrangements planned, wanted to take care of that before I told you so you wouldn't freak over where I was going to stay" "Hold on, I'm almost home! I'll turn on Skype when I get there!"
As I burst into the door I notice my mom isn't home from work yet, I take the computer of standby and load Skype. I click video call the second the option appears. "I thought you said you'd have to wait until you were 19 to be able to come! Why didn't you tell me you had applied for a visa?" I said the second his beautiful face showed up on screen. "It's a Christmas gift from my parents, they said it is the only one I'll be getting for a while." He laughed as he finished and so did I. "I AM going to meet you at the airport, I just don't know how..." I trailed off in thought when he interrupted my thinking. "Well, after I get off the plane I am taking a cab to a train station nearby, then I am taking an Amtrak train straight to your town, lucky us that you've got a train station!" I sat there in shock, the whole idea of the train had slipped my mind since we drive everywhere. "That's perfect! I'd like to meet you at the airport but the train station is the next best thing. I'd just like to know, where are you going to be living?" I asked with curiosity "Well, the first couple of days I'm staying in a hotel while paperwork for my apartment gets finalized. I still can't believe this is finally happening." "I can't either! And I'm sure I can convince my mom to let me stay at a friend's house, I'll be there your first night in America so you're not lonely." I winked and said goodbye as my mom was now home.
