Meeting Online
The millennium came and went, and too our horror it was a year gone that we hadn’t spoken properly. It was around March 2001 when we started talking again. I saw his screen name blinking, so I said hi, we chatted for a while. I asked him how was life with him and his online girl? I didn’t get a response for a while, I saw a sad face appear and a message saying.“We broke up” then followed by another message“About a week ago" I was so shocked that things didn’t work out, from the very start I thought they were made for each other. I guess things aren’t always what they seem.
That evening we talked for a good 5hrs. Just talking about his problems, my problems and the future. I left, feeling very warm inside and I knew from that evening we’d never lose touch again. We arranged to meet at certain times of the day, so we both would speak to each other and not be separated by time. Talking with him for a whole Month everyday was great, and toward the end of April my feelings for Clayton had changed. Somehow I wanted to be more than just good friends!
The next day I wrote him an email, just telling him how pleased I was that he’d gotten over his online tragedy. I was just about to send the email, when my fingers started to type away again. I didn’t know what I was typing, but somehow my fingers wanted to touch the keyboard. I looked up at the screen and found myself reading a sentence that I had wrote. “I was heartbroken when I found out you were seeing someone” I instantly turned my head away and sent the email.
