When I was 13 I had my first make out session and obviously as soon as it happened, I ran to tell Dylan.

*7 years ago*

I call him while I'm running home. "Dylan, my room, now." I say in between breaths.

"I made out with Mitch Johnson!" I exclaim. He smiles through a clenched jaw.

"He didn't try to touch you, did he?" He says, suddenly serious.

"No, but honestly I'm not sure I would have cared. It's not like it meant anything."

He nods and changes the subject.

The next day at 3am my phone rings. I groan and answer without looking at who it is. I hear sobbing on the other end of the line.

"Care-bear..." He says and I know it's Dylan. I rush over to my window and into his room without bothering to put on pants. I just have an oversized Guns N' Roses t-shirt on, but whatever.

I climb into his bed and snuggle into him. He holds me tight and I kiss his cheek.

"Nana... She... She died." He tells me in between sobs.

"Aw, honey." I say as I let a few tears fall, myself. I hate crying and when other people cry it makes me uncomfortable, but with Dylan it's different. I trust him with everything I am. I've never been close with girls. Or anyone, actually. Just me and Dyl. He's always been such a family oriented guy. Him and his nana were very close. It's gonna be a rough few months. His sobs stop as he slowly drifts off to sleep. I kiss his cheek and inhale his scent before letting the darkness take me too.
