I Need A Time Machine: The Isla Edition

 
islahappilyeverafter

My dearest Isla,

I will do anything to get you in my hands.

Well, almost anything. I do have my limits.

I will cry big ugly tears for you.

I will give you my first born child. (Although I may not have children. They are messy. And they sneeze without covering their mouths. No thank you.)

I will throw a drink at somebody’s face for you. (Even though I’ll probably get slapped or even arrested for doing that. Can I get arrested for doing that?)

I will steal a street sign for you. (I’m pretty sure I read about this in a book somewhere. But which book?)

I will eat pickles for you. (Did I mention how much I hate pickles?)

I will call a stranger on the phone (I hate talking on the phone) and try to talk to the stranger for an hour for you. (Talking on the phone. With a stranger who might as well be an unknown serial killer. For an hour. EEP.)

I will say “YOLO” every time my friends talk to me. (I will probably get defriended asap, but anything is worth it to get you Isla.)

I will read the “L,” “M,” and “N” encyclopedia for you. (I did this once in 5th grade out of boredom and it was torture.)

I will sell my soul for you.

I won’t touch a spider for you though. Oh no. I’ll probably die doing that and what’s the point of having you when I’m a dead Kelly? I can’t read you then.

I just need you in my life Isla. I’m beyond prepared to beg, borrow, or steal for you after re-reading Anna again. That’s how much I neeeeeed you in my life.

The verdict: I can’t bloody wait until August 14, 2014.

46 days, 14 hours, and 50 minutes to go.

If only I had a time machine.
 

With great anticipation,

    I really liked Anna but I wasn’t a fan of Lola so I’m not sure how I’ll feel about Isla. Hopefully it will be as good as Anna! You definitely made me excited for Isla though! I hope you enjoy it!

    Only 46 days! That’s much sooner than I actually thought :D But I say we all sell our souls and just get the darn book in our hands this instant anyway.
