The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

James takes a job half way across the world, forcing himself and Teddy to confront just how strong their relationship really is, and what both of them really want for the future. “A great lot of fucking good talking has done us” Teddy growled.“Well it’s better than NOT talking” James countered sternly.“Right” Teddy scoffed. “Is that why this is the only the second phone call we’ve had in three weeks?” James apparently had nothing to say to that, so Teddy pressed on, venting some more of his anger.“Not that I had anything to say to you anyway, but you know, you ARE supposed to be my boyfriend James. That might not mean anything to you, but it DOES to me.”“Teddy… That’s not fair” James said seriously.“None of this is fair, James” Teddy cried, letting out a humourless laugh. “Do you really think any of this is even the slightest bit fair on ME?”“You TOLD me to go” James replied defensively. “Remember? You said you were OK with it. How was I supposed to know you weren’t? I’m not a mind reader, Teddy!”“YOU told me we’d be fine, and I believed you” Teddy replied coldly. “Guess that makes us both liars.”

This is my first attempt at a more long-form style of writing, and I'm SO proud of it. I really hope you like it.
