Yes. It has been long! I'M SORRY! I was just doing a lot of work with another story of mine... (Maybe check it out!) But I didn't forget this one! The end is coming... REVIEW!

If there was one thing I learned it is that I couldn't WAIT until Saturday. If I had thought waiting was bad before... never before had I just wanted days of my life to be over. It's funny how waiting does that to you, makes you just waste your life waiting for the next thing to come. (Or at least thats what a hippie told me when he saw me pacing...) Three more days... Three more days... Three more days...

If there is one thing I learned it is that Wednesday is my least favorite day of the week. Why? It was the day that I was forced to go back to school. I had a few days off to "get back into the swing of things" but now they wanted me to go on acting like nothing had happened! It was an OUTRAGE! Something DID happen. Something that I will NEVER come back from. I fell in love.
Then had my heart ripped out be soul sucking monsters that want me to burn a painful death!
Well, congratulations soul sucking monsters.
Mission accomplished.

If there is one thing I learned it is that James can be a very confusing person. Saturday, (Not the upcoming Saturday [which will prove to be the most amazing Saturday in my ENTIRE LIFE] but the Saturday that Zoe... well, you know.) he gives me three round trip tickets to England so we can see her! (Sadly, they're not that good, we really can't stay all too long, but on the plus side, they were a gift and we didn't have to pay for them. So I guess I really can't be all too picky.) Though today, Thursday, he hit me in the face with a basket ball. A very nice thing to do. I don't know about you weird folk on the "other side of the pond" but HITTING PEOPLE IN THE FACE IS NOT HOW YOU MAKE FRIENDS HERE!

If there is one thing I've learned it is that cats should not be trusted with watermelons. I was finally back working on the farm when we got some watermelons from a neighbor as a welcome home gift. I love watermelons, they're probably my favorite food in the world. I was planning on making watermelon freezies. (You just mush up some watermelon, put it in the ice box... you know you deal.) Well, I have a very ice little kitty cat. (She's a stray, we found her in the corn field looking for food.) Now, Algra might be very good at cuddling with you and making you feel better but she is ALWAYS getting into trouble! It's crazy. So, I was just sitting in my room, painting a picture, (And you'll never guess who it was of, and I'll never tell you if you were right. Though, it may have been a nice little American boy I had fallen in love with.) when I hear this really loud crash from the kitchen! I run in there and Algra is on the floor, covered in mashed up watermelon. Needless to say, Algra was cold and I was hungry.
…
If there is one thing I have learned it is that "tomorrow" has never been farther away. Really. It's even worse because I know that Zoe doesn't even know I'm coming! I want to surprise her. I can't wait to see how happy she will be! I can only imagine how this is feeling for her. Oh, I hope she isn't feeling as bad as me. It's like... a part of my soul had been ripped out. (As dramatic as that sounds,,,, along with PAINFUL!) I will not be able to sleep tomorrow that is for sure. I don't think the phrase "Thank God It's Friday" has ever been so true. The gang has been really nice about her being gone though. They don't try to avoid her like she died or something. (OH GOD FORBID SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPENS!) They talk about her as if she's an old friend that moved away. (Which I guess she really is.) To make it even better, Darry's being real good to me. He doesn't really ever holler at me anymore. (Which is a blessing.) Sodapop is still the silly brother he is. Two-Bit, well, he's keeping us all laughing and only says his name in an English accent. Steve, well, we're doing good. We're working on some stuff together. He's trying to teach me some stuff about cars. I'm a bit of a failure but I learn fast! (Kind of.) I just, hope things get better. I wish... I wish there was some way I could bring Zoe back home with me. She belongs in America. She belongs with me. With that thought, I go back to writing letters. I promised I would, everyday. So I will, even if it kills me.

If there is one thing I've learned it's that a good walk through a wheat field can really make you feel better. I really miss Pony, it's crazy how much I do. You would think I would just move on but I can't! I should, there is NO possibility that I will ever see him again. (It's not like he can just jump on a plane and see me for a few days.) So I went out into the field for a while. I like going there, it's like my safe place. When I'm there, the world around me just fades away. Pony isn't in another country, he's right next to me. The gentle blow of the wind pushing my hair from my eyes, it isn't the wind, it's him. When the branches of the trees brush together it isn't just noise, it's him.; saying "I love you." When the sun shines down and warms up my skin, my lips. It's not the light kissing me, it's him. I lay down on the ground and wrap myself up in a blanket. It's not the blanket keeping me warm.
It's him.
…
If there is one thing I've learned it is that Sodapop is not a good person to sit next to on an airplane. If I thought it was annoying to try and sit through a movie with him... a plane ride to England was even worse. I was sure my brain was going to explode. It's that or a bullet it going through his. The sooner we get on the ground the better.
…
If there is one thing I've learned it is that sleeping in a wheat field is not very good. My back was killing me and my hands were numb. Though, I was also the most relaxed I had been in a while. So that was a good thing. It is a shame that I had to get relaxed THAT way. Maybe I'll just try a hot bath next time. When I finally get back to the cottage that is a mile away from the farm I drank some nice hot tea. I helped but there was still a coldness to me. Maybe it was the cut in the middle of my heart.
…
If there is one thing I've learned it is that I truly am an idiot. Once I got off the plane I realized something horrible. Yes, we did have a place to stay, that wasn't the problem. No... This whole time I've been so focused one what I'll do once I finally get to see Zoe. Well, Zoe isn't going to be just waiting for me at the bottom of the plane. Just because I'm in England doesn't mean I'm with her...
If there is one thing I've learned it is that even though Zoe knows pretty much my entire life story and everything about me... I don't even know where she lives.
