well first off i want to thank you all for supporting me when i was down. well anyway-
Just tonight I spoke to her. Let me tell u everything tht happened.
Well I called her at 9:30 and there was a little bit of tension. I started off by saying, 'hey how are you?" and she was like, "well, first dont you wanna talk about what happened?"
so we talked and everything was alright, she said she was mad at me at first when she read the email, but she got past it and understood how i felt. I apoligized to her and she was very enthusiastic in the way she said i didnt have to say i was sorry. "its how u feel", she told me. So we began talking about school, and other things.
Then I said to her, "god, can you believe tht next week it will have been 2 years since we met?' she couldnt believe it either. I then said to her,"when do u think we'll see each other again?" She said,"i dont know, i guess when we're older. like maybe when we're out of school, we could probably make plans, like i could go down to Fl, or u could come to NH.... but i doubt that."
I just muttered a "yeah.." and there was a long pause. The next thing I hear is her sobbing. She had burst into tears. She was in her room with the door locked so no one could hear her.
I asked her what was wrong. "Andres..i dont know how i feel. I have to tell u the truth. i think i am in love with you, i dont know, it just feels that way."
i couldnt believe my ears. i suddenly lit up. "what???"
"yeah, and im sorry if it seems tht im trying to ignore you, its not that at all. i mean, i am really busy and everything, but its just so hard for me to see anything happening between us. i try to see something, but no. theres jus so much to think about." she said something like that.
I asked missy about the last day in orlando. "Missy, in orlando it felt like u were trying to avoid me there too."
"what? oh,yeah...I was trying to keep my distance cuz i didnt want u to get your hopes up either. i just wish we could do something i wish we could see each other again. but lately ive just been trying to get my mind off you. it would be too much for me to have a relationship right now, and even moreso a long distance relationship. especially since i dont know when we'll see each other again."
i told her how i felt, "missy this doesnt make any sense. in your email, it sounds like your blaming me, and then you go off telling me you dont feel the same way and tht its 'obvious'.
"I didnt want to admit it to you, and im sorry if it sounds like im pissed at you. but i was afraid that everything was gonna be over. i tried to make it seem like i didnt like u in that way, and ever since ive been trying to get passed this."
i needed to bring up college as an opportunity.
"Missy we can make this work, what about college, we can go to school together, then we'll have so much time to spend with each other. I dont care where i go, as long as i get a college education, it doesnt matter to me."
"but didnt you say u wanted to go to New York?"
" i dont care, my step dad can afford it, there wont be any probelms."
around this point she kind of stopped crying and she seemed to feel better. "Missy, ive been thinking about this for a long time now, i just wasnt sure when i would be able to bring it up.'
"but what if we dont get into the same school?"
"we might as well give it a shot."
"yeah"
This was just so unreal, after a whole summer feeling like hell, she finally told me the truth. "Missy i just want to be there with you. I'll have to talk to my step dad, and ill try to make him understand."
i dont know if what she really feels is love, but she must feel something strong, cuz she wouldnt cry the way she did.
"missy, how long have you been feeling like this about me?"
"ever since i saw u in orlando. That bracelet was the sweetest thing. I wear it every day." "really?" "yeah". This made me feel really good on the inside.
"i didnt realize how much you really did care for me, and it touched me." she said.
"but why didnt u just tell me? Ive been going through so much."
"i donnt know why. oh my god Im so sorry."
"Its ok", i told her. Well, we talked like for an hour and then she was gonna go to bed. I told her that if i didnt speak to her before i went to the cruise, that i would send her some pictures. and she said she would send me her school picture when she had the chance. Before i let her go, i just pushed myself to say "i love you." there was a little pause and she said 'i love u too'. then we hung up.
I AM IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I FEEL. This is a dream come true!!! i just have to find a way to make this work. I just needed to let u guys know what was going on. Again thank you for everything.
Andres

Andres!!!! This is such great news to hear!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!
Hearing this has made my day :)
Ya know what I said at the start? I was spot on! I must admit though; it was a major rollercoaster ride & like you, I began to doubt whether she was hiding these feelings inside, thinking instead that it would be better to just take a chance - like you did - then see what the outcome would be... I had begun to doubt that the outcome would be so perfect!
SO much to look forward Andres - it's beautiful. All of that heartache & anguish seems worthwhile now uh? It was tough, boy was it tough, but you pulled through so strong with so much dignity.
I wish you & Missy all the best for the future: that you get into the same college & that all goes to plan from here on - it'll be worth the wait I'm sure :)
It seems that the Lord's plan has always been for the two of you to be together. It just took your declaration to give Missy the courage she needed to let these feelings out. The two of you are so mature & how you've discussed the future is awesome.
Like Sam says, keep us posted - whenever; we all want to hear how things are going. Great stuff Andres; we're all so proud of you. Enjoy how you're feeling; you deserve it more than anyone I know.
With love, Emma @:-)

See, and they say persistance and hard work never pays off. GOOD FOR YOU! I know i'm not those others but you know its encouraging to hear such stories as your own where although you go through such strong trials, you seem to edure it all and triumph in the end. Such a thing many of us can relate to and hope to aspire the same end results in our predicaments, or there are those people who remember such times. I congratulate you, way to go for stickn through it.
