I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
through the darkness and the shadows, the nightmare of today )

1. Nothing wrong with me.
i just talked to my andy again. the first time in... god... at least a year. like, in almost 2 years and i've yet to talk to him face to face again. i IM him on Windows Live... you know where you can have a 100 by 100 userpic. and his is of a girl.

a girl?

2. Nothing wrong with me.
i ask him who it is, with Red looking over my shoulder at what i can only assume is the Heroes ep i missed on monday, and hopefully not this conversation. he tells me that it's Gems.... this girl he's likin at the moment.

cue long. awkward. silence.

3. Nothing wrong with me.
i didn't know you could be awkward on IM. i thought it wasn't that type of situation and really you could talk about anything. we're quiet for a space of minutes... minutes that feel like forever. and i can't bear it. i ask if she's nice. and pretend to be the girly friend that's interested in his love life for purely innocent and helpful motives.

he tells me that she's really nice and that she's shy. and i still play the girly friend, with Red looking over my shoulder.

4. Nothing wrong with me.
Red's asking me about Heroes like there's no tomorrow. he tells me he hadn't gotten to watch monday's ep, so i'm explaining as best i can and rewinding when he misses something that's cool. like the symbol of all the mutants--the half a helix with 3 specified genetic markers(?)--that shows up as a shadow in the code on Mohinder's (father's?) computer in India. and the sucking of the cup into the hand of the fellow in the diner which can only mean it's Sylar. especially with the bloody head trauma'ed death of the new girl.

no, i don't blush hard when Red says that's sad, since the hero (Hiro) is supposed to get in on with the girl. /lie

1. Something's got to give.
i look at the time. i've got 8 minutes left before i'm supposed to be in davidson, and 5 minutes left in part two of the ep (2/6). i'm about to close the window, and i tell Red so. i've gotta leave.

don't, he says. i'm addicted. so i sit and watch the rest of it.

2. Something's got to give.
i ask my andy if he's still going to come to visit me. because i have no hopes of it. not hardly. i don't tell him it's because i think he's going to be married to Gems by the time next summer comes around... or maybe that's just Louisville's nesting instinct. i tell him i haven't talked to him in a long time and i was just wondering if he was still gonna visit me.

he says... of course! if it's still ok. color me gobsmacked.

3. Something's got to give, now.
i sign off the IM before he can reply to me saying goodbye. and close the heroes window because it's the end of part 2/6. and Red whines that i'm leaving. he wants me to stay, he says, stay and watch movies.

and i pause. for a moment.






and say no.
