“I gave thee mine before thou didst request it”

Then

The second year of college was better than the first, but I still spent my time with one foot in Ohio and the other in Alabaster. I canceled plans and left debaucherous nights early to ensure I was in a quiet place where I could hear Romeo talking when he called. He still called all the time. Every day. It was the same as always, but it was different for me. The way I felt about him had started to hurt. I missed him in a way that left me in physical pain, chest ripped open, heart beating his name. I lay awake in bed, twisted and turned inside out at the thought of being in his body then and being away from him now. I thought of nothing else.

I was obsessed.

I lived for his calls. His husky voice. His soft, throaty laugh.

I was still the one he called when he was happy or sad, stressed or confused. I was the one he needed, and I loved it.

“Jesus Christ, Jude. The worst has happened. They want me to go to Waukegan. For fun.”

They were Sean and Kellie. They’d grown tired of small-town life and had started looking for opportunities to venture to nearby cities every chance they got.

“They’re already there. They’ve skipped their classes for the rest of the week and said I should drive up on Friday night and join them. Friday fucking night? I mean, are they insane? I have no idea where I’m going or what it will be like other than I presume traffic will be hell and the entire place will be full of fucking people. And that’s people I don’t know, not just regular people. Regular people are bad enough.” His voice lilted up an octave or two. “I mean, I-I don’t even know what the parking situation will be like. Be realistic, people,” he all but wailed, “I’m not going anywhere if I don’t know what the parking situation is like.”

I laughed at his theatrics, and when I hung up, I did some research and dropped a pin to the parking lot nearest to where he’d been invited and sent it to him.

He replied right away.

You’re the best person I know, Tiger.
