Until next lifetime (Blake Gray)

4

I wiped off my make up and changed into pijamas. I went downstairs to get some water and walked back up. I laid on my bed thinking about my argument with Blake. I can sincerely say we've never argued before, not even for something stupid. We're always laughing and having a good time, and most times we share the same opinion, so we haven't even had the place to argue about what soccer team is better. 

I heard knocking on my window, and I screamed scared and very loudly. My mom and dad rushed in just to see it was Blake smiling like a puppy.

Dad opened the window, "you do know we have a door, right?"

"I'm sorry uncle, I just wanted to make it more romantic." He laughed

Dad helped him in and we all started chatting about random things. There was still this weird tension between us two since we argued probably an hour ago, especially when dad or mom would try to bring up memories Blake and I have lived together with them.

Soon after that, mom and dad left, leaving Blake and I alone in the room. Mom and dad don't have a problem with Blake and I being alone in my room or anywhere because we have definitely proved we are friends. Just friends. Almost like brother and sister. No, we have never kissed, we barely show physical affection, or affection at all.

"It's 3 am Blake, I think you should be heading home." I said sitting on my bed

"Look, I know what I did was wrong, and I just need to make it up to you. I'm sorry Maggie, I really don't want to lose you. I'm sorry I was a dork and stopped giving you the best version of myself. I was so into a relationship that wasn't making me grow, that I was forgetting about the people who are the reason why I need to grow and become a better me, especially you. I'm so sorry. You are my little sister and I can't imagine my world without you, you bring happiness to my life and I was such a jerk."

"It's okay," I smiled lightly, "let's just forget about what happened. I felt really bad about my attitude, I just don't want to ever lose you. Our friendship means way more than Chloe."

He gave me a big hug, which is not normal, but I don't complain. It feels good to have my best friend back. I mean, I never lost him but it was like he was on airplane mode. He was there but not, at the same time.

"Can I stay over?" He smiled

"Stop giving me those puppy eyes, go home." I laughed

"Pleeeeaaaseeee" He said

"Ugh, it's okay. Stay here if you want, I can go to sleep over at my brother's room. He's at a sleepover at one of his friend's."

"Not necessary." I furrowed an eyebrow, "stay with me."

I looked at him unsure. Then, I got into bed again and laid next to him,

"Can I be the little spoon?" Blake smiled, he's such a big baby

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and cuddled him up

I've been going out with Axel for a while. I was genuinely excited because I really like him. I've said this numerous times, but he's the cutest guy out there. Blake is not the happiest with me hanging out with Axel. He says he doesn't like him enough to be with me. Blake says he is 'cocky'. Not at all though, but Blake hasn't really had the time and space to meet him, other than the rest who think Axel is a good guy in many ways.

I finished my make up, and grabbed my bag. He was already outside waiting for me. It was a cold day here in North Carolina, and it was raining a lot. We decided on a chill plan. We got to his house and I saw no cars parked outside. I looked at him and he realized I was thinking about that,

"My family is out of town for the weekend. They went to watch my brother's baseball game. It's okay if you don't feel comfortable here, we can go somewhere else." He smiled nervously

Boy, not at all, I've been waiting for this moment to come

I giggled, "It's okay Axel, don't worry."

We got off the car and he took my hand and led me inside. We went upstairs to the family room and played a movie. The weather was so in our favor. It was cozy inside. It was gloomy and raining heavily at the time.

"You cold?" He asked

"Nah, just a little bit."
