#2

So Anthony was to go home, all the way back to Canada, and stay there. Right after we clicked, it didn't seem fair. Not to mention that I really thought he was as interested in me as I was in him. The night before he was supposed to leave Lacey had a friend over and kind of stuck Anthony with me. So we went outside and looked at the stars, (Not as romantic as it sounds seeing as I was shaking with nerves). We talked about all kinds of things like how growing up a pastors kid was different and how he had lived in as many different houses as I had. He had just moved all around the country instead of the same one-horse town. Then it got quiet, and a little weird. We were out of stuff to talk about...then my phone went off. Surprised I opened it to take a look and Lacey had sent me the text "Has he made a move yet?" and Anthony saw it. I was mortified. Needless to say that wasn't the best way to end the night so we went to bed and I tried to forget about it.
The next day was my first day back to work since Anthony had gotten there. And he was all packed, ready to go, Lacey was going to drive him. When I woke up she was trying to convince him to stay since he had just recently lost his job he didn't have any reason to go back, and I jumped in trying to convince him to stay too. Although my motives were a little different. He kept saying no, that he needed to go back because he didn't want to be a burden and blah blah blah...I was mad. I said goodbye and left to go to work. While I was putting my things in my car he came out of the house and said "Well you could at least give me a proper goodbye." So we hugged, it was obvious he had noticed my cold shoulder. Then he said "and I'm sorry last night was a disappointment, if I lived here things would be different." I wanted to slap him! Here we were giving him a chance to live here for the summer and see how things went. But we couldn't convince him and he left to go to the airport.
While I was at work Lacey was texting me seeing if I could pay for his ticket back if he stayed because he didn't have that much money. So I said yes because I really wanted him to stay. But still he rejected our offer. I was already looking at flight prices at this point because I wanted to see how much they were and see if I really could afford them without having to take out a small loan. Lacey and Anthony were in Dallas by this point and we could not convince him to stay. The next text Lacey sent me was "He's gone :(" I won't lie my stomach turned and I cried a few tears. How could something that seemed so promising be gone just like that.
I continued to text Lacey and tell her how sad I was. So she asked if bringing me McDonalds for dinner would make me feel better, and I can't turn down McDonalds. So then I'm sitting there waiting for Lacey to  come in so I can cry on her shoulder, guess who walks in...ANTHONY! I was so nervous haha he wasn't supposed to be here, and he brought McDonalds so I was happy. Apparently Lacey had pretty much kidnapped Anthony trying to convince him to stay. She says he agreed but he says he never flat out said yes. Guess I'll never know.
This began the best 7 weeks of my life...
