Current Music: Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance, Strung Out - Exile in Oblivion
so there's this girl, her name is abbey. i met abbey one day back in february sometime when we were short handed in the photolab, so one of the duty managers sent a casheir over to give us a hand. this casheir happened to be abbey. from the first time i laid eyes upon this girl i thought she was the most beautiful creature on the face of the planet. i was litterally speechless. she's one of those girls (and the only one i have met) that makes boys fumble their words and have a really hard time talking to them. that night when i got home, i told my friend andrew about her. i said, "dude, today i met this girl that certainly competes with the alba" (up until this time andrew and i had agreed that jessica alba, darrk angel, honey, was the hottest chick ever). a few days later she comes by the photolab on her break just to say hi to me. she begins to visit me quite frequently, we start going on breaks together. then we talk about our upcomming schedules and realize that we won't be working the same days for over a week, we exchange phone numbers. we talk on the phone for hours (something that i'm usually not good at, my average phone call is about 14 seconds) the two of us go out for coffee together a few times. this girl is constantly on my mind, i'm thinking about her 24/7, i like abbey. one day we're talking on the phone and i quite foolishly blurt out that i like her, the phone call ends shortly thereafter. a couple days pass, no word from her. then she calls (it felt like forever), i remember it was a tuesday, we talk, i appologize for telling her how i felt and she admits she likes me too, but she's affraid of a relationship at the moment, and we agree to just stay friends. things get back to normal, we go for coffee still, we visit eachother at work, talk on the phone, everything's fine. we're talking one day on the phone, and she tells me she may not be quite so affraid anymore, she starts thinking that maybe, just maybe, we can become more than friends. call on the other line, she has to go. i shit you not, she calls me back no more than tem minutes later and tells me she's moving with her sister to toronto. there's still some time before they leave, but distance is no fun, so nothing happens between us before she leaves. one night i'm at my night school class, and i don't know why but after school my car doesn't start, it's a good 35 minute drive from home. i try calling home a few times but keep getting the busy signal, i'm growing very angry. i never told her this but the only thing running through my head that made me feel even a little better was her. i kept walking around downtown guelph and thinking about her, i wanted to see her, i needed a hug to forget about my car worries and make everything better. i walked, from guelph to orangeville, it took me like 8 hours, and it was raining. i walked because i wanted to see abbey, but again, i never told her that. as i was walking i decided that i was going to tell her i'm falling in love with her and i couldn't bare her leaving me. when i finally got to her place the next day (again, i walked) i chickened out. i didn't want to make things any harder for her. i told her somthing like, i felt like walking, and somehow i ended up here. we saw eachother a few more times, she moved just before easter. we pretty much lost contact. she invited me up to party with her on her birthday, i couldn't make it due to a lack of transportation method, but i did call and wish her a good one. she moved back home shortly after her birthday, she told me something happened and her sister kicked her out, she'd tell me more later, to this day i still don't know what it was, but i never felt a need to press and find out. we didn't see eachother right away, it wasn't until later in july that i saw her again, we went from april to july without seeing one another, that was most definately no fun. one day back before she left i told her that i'd take her to erin to have a mint milkshake from the dairy (they are incredible) so i brought it up again and she came over to my place, then we went and got the milkshakes, it was really good to see her again, she was just as beautiful as i remembered. a little while later we're talking on msn one day and she says she has big news, but she didn't want to say it over msn, so i told her to call me. she's pregnant. she had been seeing this guy for a while after she moved back home, but they broke up and shortly after she found out she was pregnant. wow. a couple weeks later, we're in august now, maybe september, we meet after she's done work one day, i have a coffee and she has a bagel. it was good to get together again, we never really saw eachother as much as we used to after i left the photolab and started working overnights, we never had the time. starting thursday it is my weekend off again, i sent her an email yesterday telling her that i'd like to take her out for dinner and maybe a movie or something on thursday. upon arriving home from work this morning i found a reply in which she has accepted my invitation and we'll be meeting up then.
and that's the story of my abbey, it's long yes, but it means a lot to me. who knows when the next time we'll see eachother again after this thursday will be, i wish things were how they used to be.
