Stacey wiped the last tear from her eye as she stepped off the plane back home in Boston. She had caught a late flight and headed home. Her and Tyler had their first real fight and it was a big one. After she told him she was leaving Switzerland he started walking. Stacey didn’t know where he went, what he did or when he got home. She turned her phone back on seeing only one text message.
Tyler-I’m sorry…I shouldn’t have pressured you into moving with me…I think we should talk. Call me ASAP. I love you Stacey Summers. I really do. More than anything…
Stacey read the text over and over until a hand touched her shoulder, spinning around, she nearly knocked Sammie over.
“You ok?” Sammie asked
Then it happened. Stacey burst into tears and flung her arms around Sammie telling her all about the fight and the text. “He’s probably going to dump me…” Stacey sobbed
Sammie hugged her tightly “I don’t think he will, Stace. Just call him when we get home.”
Stacey nodded “Okay.”
Sammie helped Stacey put her things in her car and started to drive home. Telling her all about how the team named Trischa captain and how the team was on a winning streak. Stacey smiled. She was glad that her friends were doing well. Sammie also told her about how Keith and Lindzey had started dating. “Can you believe that bitch? I thought she was my friend.”
Stacey just shrugged. She didn’t feel like talking and Sammie just nodded. They pulled into the apartment lot and headed inside. Stacey went to her room and pulled his number up. Right before she pressed “call” he called her.
“Hello?” Stacey said sniffling
“Stacey…how was your flight?” Tyler asked
“Ok…listen, Ty…I’m sorry…I never should have agreed to go to Switzerland with you. I really do love you and I enjoyed our time there, but I just…I don’t think we are ready to live together.” Stacey replied.
“I agree, Stace…and I’m sorry I was a jackass. So…are we…” Tyler stammered.
Stacey knew what he meant and answered “We are Tyler and Stacey. A long-distance couple…for now.”
Tyler breathed a sigh of relief “Good. So you’ll call me and text me?” he laughed
Stacey smiled “As long as you do! Have a good season, baby. I can’t wait till this lockout is resolved and you can come home…and someday…in the future…I will be ready to move in with you officially, but not right now.”
“Fair enough. I love you, Stacey Summers.” Tyler said and Stacey could just see that smile on his face.
“And I love you, Tyler Seguin. More than anything.”
