The soft rumble of the rain hitting the window and the distant roar of thunder filled his ears and enveloped him. Only the music pouring from his speakers was audible above the storm. Ahh... their song. "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. This song had a place in his heart. He loved the rain and the gray-blue darkness of his room during the storm. Laying on his bed, he stared out the window, into oblivion. He noticed his arm was asleep from laying on his side. He hated when that happened. He rolled onto his back, now staring at the ceiling of his room. He thought he might have heard a beep and he jolted upwards to look at the phone in his hand. It was only his imagination. He slowly let himself fall back onto his bed, feeling the sensation of needles as feeling began to return to his arm. His life was only made up of two parts now. Talking to her, and thinking about her. She was his love, his life, his world.
Suddenly, he heard an unmistakable beep and jolted upwards again. He saw the text message notice flashing on his phone. He immediately opened her reply and read, "Hearing you say that is the most incredible thing. You are my life...I would die for you. I would die without you. I don't know how I ever lived without knowing you. I love you so much Cody." He couldn't help but smile ear-to-ear. She was the only person who made him feel anything anymore.
He went back to read his last message he'd sent her. "I miss you already too. And I love you so so much. I just want to be with you more than anything, and hold you at night until the sun comes up. You are my whole world. And I'll always love you. You're the best part of me, the part that shines. I love you."
And he really did love her. More than anything in the world. That's why the next couple weeks would be so hard. His family was going to Florida and he wouldn't have internet access and they both were almost at their cell phone limits. Cody didn't know how he'd survive without her.
He forced himself to get out of bed and move around a little. He went to the bathroom and looked at his face. He always looked pale and sallow after laying down for more than an hour. He ran the sink and splashed some water on his face. He looked up into the mirror. Some of the color had started to return to his face. He'd changed a lot. Now 16, he'd grown taller and was now 5' 9". His face had lengthened too. He was glad. He'd always thought his face was too round. He'd also filled out and had some muscle on him.
Cody walked back into his bedroom and pulled a black shirt over his head. He almost exclusively wore black now. He wasn't emo, but he felt that black suited him. He picked up the phone and began typing. When you have a girlfriend halfway across the country, you can't help but become fast at texting. "Just hearing you say that makes me melt...
And the rain continued to pour. As poured his heart out.
