You don’t remember how you ended up being friends with people across the world, but it happened. If you’re being honest, no one is as close to you as your online friends are. In the summers you guys stay up til the wee hours of the morning, practically talking nonstop all summer long.

Though there was one particular boy you were the closest with: James Parker.

You and him were as inseparable as friends hundreds of miles away could get. You two practically talked nonstop about anything and everything. You had the same humor, the same interests, you’ve even developed the same laugh.

So obviously, you two developed feelings. Come on, who wouldn’t?

But you two decided to stay close friends for now because of the distance.

Things might change, though.

After what felt like ages of saving up, you finally bought yourself a ticket to his home country. You’re going to be staying there for the next three months.

Three months.

You were just as nervous as you were excited. You’ve never met him in person before. What if he’s different in person? What if he’s an axe murderer? Or worse, what if he’s short?

There no going back now.

…

After what felt like a year long flight, you finally make it to the Netherlands. The jet lag was borderline unbearable, but your senses were overwhelmed by your nerves.

You get a taxi to his home. You take a deep breath.

This is going to be fine, right?

You’re practically shivering with excitement and nerves as you knock on the door.
