Sara's P.O.V


***2 weeks earlier***


"Hey, how you doing?" Rosie said opening the door to our shared apartment.


"Good, kinda feeling stupid for forgetting my keys again." I replied. I'm always doing that. I need a bell or alarm on them that says when I get at least 5 feet from them.


"Hey that's alright that's why we're room mates, we're there for each other in our desperate times of stupidity." Rosie laughed.


"Gee thanks bro." I said.


We walked into our apartment, I dropped my bad onto the floor by our counter. It's been only a week since I left to go visit my Dad in Chicago and I notice huge changes. That's Rosie for you, she was never one to keep her things or our apartment the same for too long. She loves change. Well slight changes anyways.


"I'm loving what you did with the place. Seems like I've been gone for 6 months rather than 6 days." I said.


"Shut up, by now you should just be conditioned into expecting this apartment to being going through constant re-decoration." She replied as she smiled her famous smile. Everyone never could handle her when she smiled. She was already so perfect but when her face cracked that sign of happiness, man the world exploded.


"Anyways I'm going to go up and unpack, sound cool? Should we order take in or are we feeling like going out?" I asked while grabbing my luggage. Wow, I guess my Dad was right I do pack a lot this suitcase ways a tone! At least!


"Yeah go ahead and um I'm actually planning on going out with Alex. It's our 4 year anniversary today. So is that cool?" Rosie said.


Crap! I can't believe I forgot I had huge plans for them. Rosie may be one of my best friends but Alex and I have known each other since we were little. They both mean so much to me.


"Oh gee Rosie that's right! Shit I can't believe it's been four years already. It seems like your kids just went to prom together!" I said. I still remember her dress, a fluorescent pink that trickled down into a very pale shade of rose. It suited her, her personality and of course her name. "I'll just stay here I should really use the night to unwind and relax anyways."


"Ok thanks you're the best" She said as she ran up the stairs to her room to get ready.


"Just don't bring him back here after! I don't need to be kept up the whole night listening to you two "celebrating"." I yelled up. That's the thing with Rosie I could say this but she knows. She knows her boundaries of what I'm comfortable with. Even though I know she and Alex have never "gone all the way" we can still joke about these things.


"Oh shut up and unpack!" She yelled back.


I ran upstairs with my suitcase, Chicago was fun and is one of my favourite cities to visit but it's so nice to be home. The apartment me and Rosie share is pretty small I guess but for two girls fresh out of high school it's pretty extravagant. We made sure we coordinated the decoration and furniture to both our likings. Everything in this place just screams both our names. We work so well together. We're a perfect match!


"Okay I'm off, don't wait up! Oh and by the way is there any chance I can get you to put some of my winter clothes away? You're just so good at organizing and picking out the best types of clothes for spring. If it's too much I can do it tomorrow." Rosie said.


"No no please allow me. I was planning on doing the same for me anyways so why not." I said as I watch Rosie blow a kiss before turning around and running down the stairs out the front door. Gosh I love her.


I quickly finish up unpacking and decided to move onto Rosie's closest first since really most of my stuff is already done. I lied when I said I was planning on doing it today I had already cleaned out my closest.

I go into her room to start organizing her wardrobe. I should clarify since we are only two in a three bedroom apartment we decided to make the third bedroom into a walk in closet for the both of us to share. Like come on what person doesn't want a walk in closest am I right? Of course I am. Anyways we're suppose to share it 50/50 but Rosie has so many things I can't believe it! It's all perfection of course I mean anything she owns or even touches turns to gold in my eyes. I go through her dresses picking out a few summer ones and light ones, I then move onto her capris and shorts, then finally her t-shirts. All together it may have taken me about 2 hours to go through all her things, reorganize them by type of clothing then by colour, but in the end it's all worth it to see the famous smile on her face.


While digging I came across this book. Being amongst her private possessions I thought best to ignore it and put It back where I had found it. But it, it's just so tempting. What is it? I flipped quickly through the pages and they are completely filled with her hand writing. Is it a diary? I flipped through the first page.


" Dear diary" ...yep.


"It's the first day Sara and I moved into our perfect little apartment. I'm so excited! We just finished high school, new graduates!! HEY YEAH. I can't believe this day has finally come it feels like forever. Anyways I decided to keep this journal, diary, whatever to keep tract of all the amazing adventures Sara and I will get to have living together. Do you know what it's like to live with your best friend? If not, by all means you have to try it!


Oh gosh I just glanced over at the calendar and it's been a month since prom! ALREADY!! I still can see Alex wearing his black and white suit. His face, his hair, his smile OH MY GOSH THAT SMILE! Every time I see him he just looks like he's glowing. I love him so much.... I do I guess I really do love him. Looking back now I would've never thought we would be sitting her at almost 4 years together! People say high school romances are just a short lived lust but really me and Alex, I can honestly say we're forever. They say it takes 4 years to get to know somebody and well we've known each other since junior high and got to gether in grade 10. I mean if we don't know everything about each other now, I don't know what else there is to know..."


Wow, I knew she liked him but never did I think she loved him. Get it together Sara you know she's straight! She wouldn't, she COULDN'T go for you even if you wanted her to.


***Present day***


"Tell me all that happened." I said, looking down at the girl I love. Her eyes shot with fatigue, her body motionless, what happened. What did Alex do.
