Never Be Alone

1

I promise that one day I'll be around I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you sound....

Right now its pretty crazy and I don't know how to stop or slow it down...

Hey, I know there are somethings we need to talk about...

But I cant stay...

Just let me hold you for a little longer now...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Elliot.. I'm so excited for this summer, but I have to go on tour with my brother."

"Ash, are you serious? Do you really have to?" He asked me.

"Yes I do, but we will see each other at St. Olaf in July. I'll be counting down the days." I said smiling.

"When do you leave?"

"Wednesday."

"That's okay, we still have some time."

"For what?" I ask confused.

"For this," he answers kissing me.

"ASHLEE!!!"

"Oh my gosh what?!" I ask almost falling out of my chair.

"You were sleeping! Its the last day of school and your sleeping." Elliot told me.

That was a dream.. Darn.

The reason why I was - no am - so bummed is because Elliot and I have a budding romance that I was hoping would blossom over the summer. My parents won't allow me to date until I'm 16 and my birthday is in late June. So all I can do for now is dream.

"Yeah. I'm just starting summer break early. Why do we even have to go to school this week?"

"We have to empty out our lockers and all that stuff."

"Most people don't even use their lockers."

"Are you serious? Did you really just say that?" Elliot asked looking at me like I'm stupid.

"I couldn't help but overhear, but Ash, to tell the truth, you're not most people. You went all out to decorate your locker. You even have little lights in there. Who does that? Normal people don't. That's for sure." Andy said coming out of nowhere.

"No one asked you Andrew." I replied annoyed.

Andy is my brother.  My twin brother. Having a twin is not always a piece of cake. Sharing everything for the past 16 years with the same person almost everyday. That's approximately 5844 days of living hell. I hate Andy but he's also my best friend. He's in a band and I'm being forced to go on tour with his band for most of the summer.

"Well no one asked yo-" the bell rung, cutting him off.

I don't think I've ever left somewhere so fast.

"Yay! The 2015-2016 school year is over! And its time for an amazing summer!" I said doing a cartwheel out of the school.

"Whoa... I've never seen you this happy to get out of school. Let alone for anything." Elliot said as we walked to his car.

"I'm just excited about what's ahead. So much is going on this summer." I explained to him.

"And what's going on this summer?" He asked when we got to his car.

"Well, Saint Olaf is this summer, I'm so glad that we got into that. It's really early for us to be in it..." I told him getting into the car.
