The time between the girl and the two was long hard and cold. Bitterness between them was thick in the air as Fox continued his seemingly endless amount of pushups. His features were different now; longer hair which was unkept and danced around his forehead.his playful demeanor seemed like a far way breeze, Antonio wasn't anywhere to be found. It had been a long time since he had seen his old friend. He would have missed him, but sleep wasn't a part of his new diet. Work laced with more work was his new focus, gotta get somewhere fast? Do it yourself.
He when for a short jog to clear his head before his next meeting, his jog took him down an old road that he hadn't seen in years, new houses and commecial billboards sprung up from nowhere; but that didn't bother him in the slightest. He was a rock. "Hey, its been a while" she said to him. It was kay, and he knew it. Part of him wanted to explode out of this dark area he'd been in, but a larger part remembered what had happened in the past. How easily she had just walked away because of a situation that was meaningless. Flashbacks of oh she said they were bestfriends, shattered because of a rash decision she made so long ago.
He stopped and started to turn to face her slowly. Freezing before he faced her a flash of anger moved over him."If you see kay around tell her that we miss her"
"But I am kay silly" she said with a nervous laugh
"Hmph" he turned back around and started back on his path. Her forced smile melted away as she realized what she had done; pushed away a good friend because of what someone else had to say.
He reached his destination, a stasis lab across town. There he was, Antonio floating in a 1000 gallon tank as if being prepared for somthing. "How long?" Fox said to one of the technions, " well..it could be any day now sir, we just need him to let go" the small man nervously studdered out. Fox strangled the other 7 that tried to say that Antonio would never be ready in time, Fox knew something that now one else did. He walked up to the container and banged on it as if to get Antonio's attention. "The merger will happen soon, don't worry"

his response
They sat in the room quiet for a seemingly days; Antonio on the loveseat near the window and Fox playing the piano passionately. The air was tense and they were speaking to eachother without words, arguing calmly, fighting eachother desperately.
"This is just like you" Fox said to Antonio breaking a seemingly endless silence.
"I know" Antonio started,"I'm just letting her go."
"A true demonstration of true love eh?" Fox said "being an example maybe? Or maybe your just soft"
It was weird that Fox was the one showing emotion this time, throwing away his calm disposition."What do you expect out of this? You'll never see her again you know this right?"
"Probably"
"And your okay with that?"
"No..."
"Then what are you doing?"
"I know what I'm doing"
Fox controlled himself again, but his song changed; Dangerously in love, he played softly singing "She said 'I"
"She has my number"
"Am in love with you"
"And I'll be in touch every so often"
"You set me free"
"She's probably comming back too"
"I can't do this thing called life with out you here with me cause I'm"
"And maybe he'll actually care about something other than himself"
"Dangerously in love with you"
"And its not like she really loves me"
"I'll never leave just"
"Wait til she's older, she'll wise up and know that he's bad for her"
"Just keep lovin me the way I love you lovin me...you know what?" Fox started," your meant for something extremely great, the people left here will be here when you need them, and the people that want to keep up, well you'll rely on them... You've been holding back all your life...stop"
Antonio stood up and walked outside to feel the cold. He needed to feel something he thought not just blank for once. His phone rang again, work again he said to himself the txt read " miss me?" He smiled to himself, as the clouds moved away. Work needed to be done, greatness is never acheived in a day. we can relax later, this winter was gonna be different.

they respond
In light of the situation, being that they both were called into the light, they both agreed to meet her in a neutral location; A small room with a piano in the corner, Antonio stepped up to talk to her first since he'd been dealing with the situation longer. Fox didn't agree, but in the spirit of the moment he held his mouth shut and played 'eternal memory of lightwaves'on the piano.
"Look" Antonio started," I do care about you, too much actually, but I can't even begin to describe what a bad choice this is, this guy is so broken and you moving with him is just going to kick things into overdrive. That's assuming that your parents even let you get that far! What good is gonna come out of moving? For you? Nothing. For him, he gets you isolated so anything he wants he gets, and not one can do anything about it. Its too risky. Period. I can't believe that after everything that happened, result that you came up with was to move 6 hours away with him. You guys can't survive here and you both have friends and connections here but you wanna move away with him to a place where you have no connections and he just has his mom? Bah!"
Antonio stood up and stormed out of the room. A slow grin appeared on Fox's face " he means well, he just freaks when things are going in dumb directions" he continued to play, it put him in a wise mood the thought." Your 17 trying to function in a 24 year olds world, it may feel like you need to do everything to help him, but don't break everything good you have for a guy, heheh and that's all he really is"
It was true, yes their dating, for years, but both of them were still terribly young with the world on their shoulders.
" Everything you know tells you to take care of your boyfriend, atleast while your home, but once your out with friends your free and open, your stressed because what you feel and what you FEEL are two different emotionsm. So you let someone else choose for you. Your so focused on rain that your missing and willing to give up the great life around you. This choice is going to be hard, because this is forcing you to mold yourself into 1 of 2 things. A great girlfriend, or a great person. Be careful when giving up your friends and everything you've know for someone you've only known for a few years, because that's a choice you can't take back. You said it best yourself, your only 17, so why are you acting like your 24? Who's gonna take you on your first club trip? Who's gonna party with you on newyears? Who's gonna chill with you after work and talk about....life? Why move away from connections that you have and before you can enjoy...I mean REALLY enjoy life...."
He stopped playing and just looked at the keys " you think you feel stressed now... What's going to happen when you 6 hours away and you fight but have no where to run to?"
He stood up and walked over to her, he gave her a bright smile and pinched her cheek, "no matter where you go you'll always be my girl, just remember no one can look out for you if we can't reach you love"
He bent down and kissed her on the forehead and started for the door " we've lost respect for him because he's lied to us too much, whatever you do just be real with us, let us know how you feel....that's all we really ask"
