How The Galaxy Expects You To Live Until You Die (Based on A True Story)

Vas ✅

On November 24th 2021, My mother and my step dad went to the casino. It was about seven in the afternoon, my mom had asked for her vacations and at the same time me and my brother were on our school thanksgiving vacation. I hadn't seen Dean nor ethan that entire week but i always called Ethan because he always had time to talk for a bit even if he was doing something, That day, i had officially gotten sick, my throat was sore, my body ached, and my head was hurting. I told Ethan over text and he got really worried and told me to get rest. Dean was working that day, he had been working at Sizzlers for about a month i would say. I had totally forgotten that he had work, and so i left him a message in which i let him know that my mom and dad were going to go to the casino and if he wanted to call when they left. 

When my mom and step dad left i called Ethan and he answered. We spent about five hours talking about just anything really... we talked about Dean, about Ethan's well being, he let me rant about Dean not having time and seeming a bit distant with me. I suppose Dean was a bit upset with me too, he wanted to go out with me but that week, me and him were sort of busy and so i didn't have time and the days in which i was busy he wanted to do something and i simply couldn't. Me and Ethan laughed our asses off of just anything. We talked about random things and ended up talking until twelve in the morning. 

Thanksgiving Day. 

We were just about to finish the call when i noticed the time and i was like "Oh my god! Its thanksgiving" Ethan responded me with a sleepy, but energetic tone "OH YEAH HUH! Happy thanksgiving Sophia". I wanted to always tell Ethan how thankful i was for him and i suppose it was just something that I took advantage of, the moment, the call, the day... and so i suggested him to say what we are thankful for, and why we are thankful for each other and he liked the idea.

Ethan went first. Here he spent about a estimate of Ten minutes talking about what he was thankful for and soon after he said why he was thankful for me. Summarizing what he said,  he said that i was a incredible person, that he never regretted the moment in which we had met that time on the zoom meeting, he truly cared for me, he was happy knowing that we were bestfriends. He hoped that even when he went to college and i was in senior year, that we would be friends forever. He said a lot of things that night... unfortunately,  i don't remember everything too well, but what i can say is that he was happy, he enjoyed letting all that out and telling me why he was just happy to have met me that school year. He admitted that he would have loved to meet me earlier in life and not now when he was just about to leave high school. It broke my heart as i felt the same way...i had a tear or two running down my face but i was happy to know what he had to say was honest and very meaningful to him but also to me.  

When he was done... it was my turn.

If i had to describe all that happened that night, one thing i am able to say is that i've never cried my eyes out over telling someone how much they meant to me. It could have been something in the air, something magical maybe, but it was a moment where a lot began to make sense. That night was a cold Thanksgiving, i had a bunch of blankets on me and as i started off my Ethan appreciation speech with my first word being  "Ethan". I started off nice and kind, laughing, and occasionally I turned my head and faced my phone to see him smiling on the other side of the screen. As I was simply talking non stop, and the minutes simply went by slow, the night..my speech started to come out from heart... i didn't stop to think about what to say... i said what i felt and so my speech got very deep. I had myself saying thank you to ethan because he always took thirty minutes of his day no matter what to ask me how my day, he always listened to me complain about anything, he made me laugh and smile, and i simply let him know and so i told him how happy i was to have him as a friend... as someone i could say "I can rely on you"
