Chapter 22 - Maddy's diary 2 (special chapter)

Dear diary, It's now 20/12/2025. Alot has happened since my last entry. For one Klyde and I officially became a thing it was quite romantic really, he took me out, not saying where, and it turned out to be my favourite restaurant and thats when he asked me to be his girlfriend (he may have told you something different becuase it was embarassing for him). He fought some serial killer psycho and almost died twice. Klyde and I have now both graduated so, no more school! Woohoo! We went to camp and honestly, I really enjoyed myself, and I think Klyde did too. I noticed him sneaking smiles here and there, must be a relief having a break from all the heroing and rescuing stuff.

The hike on the first day was great, the breeze, the views, the nature. second day however, kayaking was great fun, the ziplining was ok, then we got to caving, it was fun at first, I'm not entirely sure what happened but klyde said it might be 'speluncaphobia'. Didn't know what the hell that was till I searched it up later, turns out it means fear of caves, I didn't bother asking him at the time as I was in too much shock. Klyde stayed with me the remainder of the day, which made me feel bad because he was missing out on what everyone else was doing, he didn't even get to finish caving, he insists that it's all good but I knew caving was one of the activities he was looking forward to most.

The next day arrives and we were given the opportunity to shoot guns and boss, I was surprised they were trusting a bunch of teens with it but it was actually really fun, apart from the noise at least, each shot made ears ring even wearing ear plugs, well until it was ruined but you know that part already, poor girls still there 2 weeks later, the wound got infected due to it not getting the right first aid asap. Klyde and I visit her in the hospital every now and then just so she has some company. Anywho back to the camp stories, after the accident the activity was ended and we kinda just chilled the rest of that day, the rest of the days were all survival training like starting campfires, campfire safety, ideal tenting positioning (you can laugh at that one).

It was all quite fun though and I'd definitely do it again, apart from maybe the caving, until I bring up the courage to face it again.

Klydes been getting a bit distant lately, maybe it has to do with his upcoming trip, he was offered a scholarship or international of some kind overseas to study ancient history and accepted it but now he might be having second thoughts, I might try visit him while he's there, I've always wanted to go to Japan. It's only for like four or five months though, we'd be ok for that long, right? Of course we'd be ok what am I saying. We dint meet till we were fifteen and we were both fine till then, well, kinda. I can understand why he'd be nervous going, I don't think he's been overseas by himself, he usually meets with family that's already there or travels with family or close friends (which is kinda just me and like two others currently).

Klyda and I aren't your typical couple, we don't do anything, physical so to speak, other than holding hands and hugs or cuddling, which is all good with me, as long as Klyde is comfortable too. He looks after me when I'm sick, sad, hurt, anything. He's so sweet in his own way. He does have a tendency of disappearing now and then for some reason, I feel he's got more going on than he let's me know of, I wish he would tell me more, open up and share all his own hurts and emotions, but he bottle's it up and I don't understand why, his family is lovely, bit of a loud-house but nothing traumatising that I can tell. Maybe they were different before? Maybe it's something that happened at school? Or whole he was visiting somewhere? There's still so much I don't know about the whole family but Klyde particularly, what is he hiding? Why does he feel he needs to? Is it dangerous? Did he hurt someone? No no of course he wouldn't. It's just so frustrating. But then again his mysteriousness adds to his charm a little, along with his cooking, cleaning, chauffeuring, caring, etcetera. I just get really curious sometimes, especially when he vanishes for long periods of time. I just want to understand him a bit better, maybe help him mentally in some areas if I can. I just wanna be there for him you know? I wanna look after him like he does me. I will mention that I have noticed him coming home with bruises sometimes so, maybe aometimes he's out fighting crime somewhere? Or doing intense training? I do apologise I am jumping around on ideas at the moment but there's just so many different possibilities and reasons and I can never figure it out, I can't even follow him because he sneaks out so easily and so efficiently, heck he could rob a bank and probably never get caught. He doesn't leave trace, hints, nothing, like he's not even there.

Sorry for my ramble, I don't know why I get so hung up on thinking about little things like that about my boyfriend, well maybe not so little, anyhow, I now have a job, nothing to big just minor modelling gigs and I work as a cashies at out local foodary store. Klyde works there too doing shelves and occasionally helping me with cashier stuff like scanning items and ensuring the get paid for he gets a few less shifts than I do, he's only casual whereas I do part time permanent. He's hoping to get a higher paying job soon I think, one he's a little more passionate about. I'm happy where I'm at, basically assistant to the assistant manager and there's talk of an official promotion but I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much.

It's getting closer and closer to the day Klyde has to fly out, I'm starting to freak out a bit, I won't have him here to protect me any more and he won't have me to look after him. We'll see each other lime once a month for the time he's over there and the thought of it is starting to scare me. What if something happens to one of us? The other won't know straight away, they won't be able to do anything about it. Maybe I'm over thinking it, it's just for three months. On the other hand I'm really excited for Klyde because he's following his dreams and passions.

We celebrated Christmas and boy was that fun, the presents the feasts the singing (though I don't think Klyde liked the singing part). Klyde got me a beautiful necklace, I've never seen anything like it, the authentic gold chain with small pieces of obsidian and ruby's, it was gorgeous, I won't let anything ever happen to it. I got him some books and chocolates as I wasn't really sure what else he'd like, pretty sure he liked it though, I see Jim reading the books while snacking on the chocolate, it's kinda cute if I'm being totally honest. After all the excitement died down Klyde and I stuck out to stargaze and then I fell asleep, woke up in bed somehow but didn't think much of it and went back to sleep.

Anyway, that'll be all for this entry, until next time.
