The Urban dictionary defines a best friend as;

A best friend is someone who is there for you through thick and thin. It's someone who listens and understands you. Someone you can about anything you need to 'tell' or 'vent'. It's someone who will stand up for you in the times when you need it most, keep your secrets close, and someone you can trust with your life. They will support you in any decision you make even if it's hard for them. It's someone who is there for you as much as they can be and does and says whatever they can your mood in down times.

You can be your COMPLETE and total self around this person without feeling uncomfortable. You can say or do anything, and your relationship never changes. Someone who will do almost anything for you as you would do for them, and someone who loves you no matter what kind of stupid things you do. This person will always want the best for you, as you will always want for them. And as much as people change- Your love with a will never through all the phases of life and problems that come a long with it.

Well, my definition with Ben Solo, is far from that...

He was almost like my boyfriend, but we didn't wanna label it that way. He wanted to be seen with me, but also didn't want people to think he was tied down. It was a stinger way to want things, but I understood and accepted it. Once a week we would go to Kirk's and have our usual as Kylo and Katarina. 

Ben would take notes and drive around aimlessly with me. 

Being Ben's best friend also meant I wasn't allowed to see anyone else. I started wearing makeup and nicer clothes and guys started noticing. At school if any of the guys hit on me Ben would be sure to teach them a lesson in respect. 

It was almost homecoming and Ben asked me to go with him. He had the whole baseball team hold a sign to ask me. It was dark and they held twinkle lights with every letter. I remember screaming yes across the field as I ran into his arms. That was the first time he kissed me in front of anyone.

The guys were cheering and one voice stood out.....

--------------------------------

"Cassandra" I heard a name I hadn't heard in 12 years...

I looked behind me, it was John, one of the guys from the baseball team from high school. The street was busy and I looked at him. "Oh hey!" I smiled shortly. "What are you doing in town?" I asked. "Well, It's that reunion time. I thought I would stop in" He smiled. I nodded. "Oh right! you were 2 years below me. Happy 10 year" I smiled. "What are you still doing in this small town?" He questioned. I rolled my eyes, and let out a laugh. everyone always asks me this and I never have an answer.

"Guess I am just stuck here" I sighed. He let out a laugh. "You wanna grab a drink later?" He asked. I shook my head, "Oh no, important photography stuff" I said sarcastically and holding up my camera in my hand. "Oh come on, Cass, It's not like Ben is here to stop you. Is he?" He questioned.

I let out a nervous laugh. A name and face I haven't seen in 12 years...

"Oh no, definitely not." I let out. 

"See, so, one drink, on me." He smiled holding out a business card. "Call me" He stated and walked off. 

I stared at the card. John Greene FBI Agent. I looked back up and he was gone. My heart beat so fast. Does he know?

"Ben, my man, how do you get so lucky?" John smiled at him and put him in a headlock joking with him.
