finally we are no one
lauren has finally decided to come up to michigan and spend the rest of her life with me. here's how it came about.
i left her an e-mail saying that james and i were coming to illinois to pack out the apartment and clean up everything and that she should come over and at least say goodbye one last time because it was unlikely that i would ever go back for anything else. i just explained to her that seeing me face to face would give us both closure and at least i could look into her eyes and give her a 'proper goodbye'.
so we go down there in the truck with expired tags, talk about our shop and what that's going to be like, and how f'd up the whole situation was and got to reminiscing. we arrived, started to pack movies and books and ran out of boxes, so i suggested we go eat and look for boxes/ tape/ etc. we go to dennys, there are like 10987198357 scene kids there, and we keep to ourselves. i run into former best buy employees and explain the situation for the 1847th time. we go back to the apartment to really get busy with the packing and i notice that lauren's coat and keys are there on the countertop. i tell james that she's here.
i go into the room and lauren is in bed asleep, so i go and wake her up, and she immediately lights up and gives me a shower of hugs and kisses. the weight is lifted from my shouders, heart and soul. we talk about everything and apologies are made, feelings run wild, and we spend the night in eachothers arms. in the morning james and i go to get the u-haul and get back, pack a bit and go to breakfast. finally we 'clean house' and through teary goodbyes i get in the u-haul and drive back to michigan. i drop james off at his house and bring the uhaul to the house. the cats were brought out in the bathroom after the 6 hour drive and they immediately hide under the bathtub. i called lauren that night to tell her i made it safe and she says that her mother asked her why she didn't just go with me. then she decided to follow me up on sunday, quitting her job and driving up into my waiting arms. i am ecstatic. i've been hoping that she would come to me since this whole shebang started, and finally she has driven across state boundaries to follow her heart and complete us again. we're right back to being peas and carrots again and i finally know what it's like to lose something you really want and find it again.
we're looking for a place and to pay back the fam's for all the expenditures. lots of overtime coming.
i am still in love.
