Codenamed: Long Distance (Work in Progress) Ch.1

This idea was spawned from a couple of Whisper posts pertaining to Internet celebrities.

My conscious screamed at me Girl, it’ll never work and you know it. As we walked towards the airport doors, I knew that getting back on that plane was the right thing to do and that doing the right thing was going to totally crush my heart.

 

But my conscious was right.

 

How did I expect things to go? I was a plain civilian who was afforded a fun opportunity for a week and he was… he was… well…. He was everything that I had searched for - a failed marriage showed me what it was that I needed in my life and damn it, I just felt like he might be it and wanted more time to delve deeper into this enigmatic situation. Especially after meeting him in person.

 

There was one little problem.

 

He was Internet famous. You know, like all those people on YouTube or Vine or Instagram that make a living working on the Internet and providing some type of content? Yeah. He was one of them. I was just a writer on my local newspaper. Saying one last goodbye and swapping contact information for potential future communication, I turned towards the security line thinking this was going to be the end of it. Heh…

 

As it always goes…. Little did I know.

 

But before we get to current events, perhaps I should start at the beginning.

 

It all started six months ago on the night that my divorce was finally one-hundred percent final and I was a free woman " deeper into the gutter of depression than I had ever been in my life " and my sister just so happened across his website and a little contest he was holding.
