I missed her.
I've missed her ever since she left my life. We met online on a multiplayer fantasy game last summer and became friends quickly, and lovers even quicker. But paradise only lasted six months, until she decided that I was just too busy for her and she needed more; and in an instant, she was gone.
Ever since then, I've wished she would come back, more than anything. I always of getting her back, and one fateful dream on the morning of the first day of my Christmas break inspires me to go on a trip I'll never forget.
Being driven by my best friend Carter, we embark on a journey from the middle of Florida to the western mountains of North Carolina. It's a long, but a certainly interesting, trip. We meet local weirdos, fellow travelers. We find out a lot about ourselves that we didn't know, even despite all our years of friendship.
And then, after a nonstop eight hour trip, we end up in Asheville, and I'm stuck facing her.
And I just don't know if I'm ready to speak the words on my mind yet.
