Chapter 8
I was on autopilot for& nbsp;the next three days. I ate because I had to, I slept because I had to, I
showered because I had to, and I did school work because I had to.
“Duo, you have a&n bsp;visitor.â€
“Iâ€&trad e;ll be down in a second.â€
A s I descended the stairs Sister Helen wa s passing them on her way into the kitchen. “In
the game room, Sweetie.â€
“Th anks.†I walked into the game roo m and stopped dead in my tracks and  ;gasped. Zechs
was standing there with his back to the entr y way. At my gasp he turned and looked at me.
Before I could say anything he spoke.
“I asked&nbs p;Sister Helen not to say who was here.& nbsp;I thought that if you knew it was me you
wouldn’t com e down. I considered bringing something like& nbsp;flowers, a stuffed bear,
chocolates, but that seemed kind of ridiculous. So, I didn’t.†He was fidgeting.&nb sp;I have never
seen him fidget. “Duo, I’m sorry. I was upset and angry.†“You really hurt me with wha t you said. I still don’t know why you said&n bsp;those things. Why
were you so angry? â€
“I thought about it for the past few days and I real ized that I was hurt…â€& nbsp;
“I didn’t†¦â€
“Let me finish . It hurt to think of us not being to gether. Of you in Virginia and me here. I
never thought that w e would be going to different universities,&n bsp;especially after all of
conversations. I& nbsp;love you and I’m sorry I hurt you. I have been in ag ony these past few
days.†By now he was right in front of me.
â ;€œI really didn’t mean t o purposely hide this from you. I wasn&a circ;€™t sure that I would get in and
even&n bsp;if I did I didn’t think&nbs p;I would go because I couldn’t afford the tuition. So, I wasnâ€& trade;t
expecting to be moving to Virgin ia. We can still see each other on school breaks. I’m
definitely g oing to be back here for Christmas at&nb sp;least. I love you, too. We can make&n bsp;this
work. I know we can make this work.â€
He p ulled me close and kissed me. With our&n bsp;heads pressed together he whispered â&eu ro;œI hope
you’re right, my love.â€
