Hey everyone! :d james and I have talked, and it looks like we're going to be alright. He told me that he loves me, and he will be with me. He also apologized for running. He's having a hard time at school, because a lot of his peers are trying to give him advice... Which has mostly been, "run!". He said that he's had time to think, and that he doesn't care what they say, because he loves me, and he knows that he wants to be with me for the rest of his life, so he's prepared to take on this adventure with me.

so i'm glad to give you all good news! I'll keep you guys updated!
