You Will Always be Our Little Girl

Mason's POV

"I could've walked alone, you know." She looks up at me and nods, "I have to see my boyfriend after this anyway, so I thought I might as well do this too." I glance over at her and chuckle lightly, "a boyfriend?" She nods and sighs, "yeah, you met him this morning. We met at camp. My dad's don't know about him yet...and I'm pretty sure if they did, they wouldn't mind. It's just..Daiki's family raised him to think that two males together is a bad thing." I didn't really know what to say so I just chuckled lightly.

Why am I feeling sad about this-? Why do I feel like I want to cry?

"Hey, Mason?"

"Hm?" She stops walking so I stop to, turning around, "is something wrong?" I ask. She kept her eyes to the ground, "I know we haven't hung out a lot...and I'm afraid that's going to be the case this year.." I raise an eyebrow in confusion, "I'm worried that you won't get around and talk to people...you've always been bad at that.." I walk her direction and rest my hand on top of her head, she was much shorter than I was, "you're worried about me?" I chuckle lightly, "you sound like your dad."

"H-Hey!" I turn around and start walking again, "hang out with your friends, I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Are you sure..?" She runs up next to me and I look over her and smile, "of course!"

"Okay.." we stand and look at each other in silence, "Mabel! I thought we would meet up at the park down the road!" Daiki shouts, "I decided to walk Mason home first!" She says, pointing at me. I look to the ground as he ran up to her and gave her a small forehead kiss.

My stomach started to ache, the sudden feeling like I want to cry came back again.

"Hey, Mae, I'm going to head home from here."

"Oh, okay."

"Tell your parents thanks for dinner."

"Of course!" She smiles, "I'll call you at normal time." I smile and nod, "goodnight, Mae."

"Talk to you later, Mase!" She shouts as I walk away quickly.

As I turned the corner I hear her laugh and I felt a tear fall from my eye. Why am I crying? Is it because I said it was okay if we didn't talk much? No...I wouldn't be crying over something stupid like that..it didn't feel like a losing feeling though. It felt as if my heart was being stabbed.

I walked up the steps to my front door and I take off my shoes as soon as I get inside, "there you are! We were worried sick!" My mother says as she runs over to me, "I was just at Mabel's-" she examines my face, which still had the tear stains down my face, "what happened?"

"It's nothing..I'm tired."

"Did you already eat?" I nod as I went up the stairs, "mhm.." I walk straight to my room and sigh, rubbing my eyes as I tossed my jacket on the floor.

I practically collapse on the bed and hold my arms around myself.

Do I like my best friend? My only friend?

I hear my phone ring and I open my eyes, answering it;

Mas: hello?

Mab: did I wake you up?

Mas: I guess you did...

Mab: I'm sorry-

Mas: did you make it home safely?

Mab: actually, I'm just on my way back.

I glance over at my clock and my eyes widen
