The doorbell rang.

I sprung up from the couch and hurried over to the front door. When I opened it, y/f/n rushed in for a hug, almost knocking me to the ground. I stumbled back. "Hey, a little mercy here? I don't want to end up in the hospital!" I giggled. "But I haven't seen your beautiful face in soooo long. I can't resist."

"Yeah, yeah," I rolled my eyes, "you totally didn't hang out with me last week." I took her bags and invited her in. "Mom, dad, y/f/n is here - she'll be spending the night."

We sprinted up the stairs to my room, which, might I add, was quite the task while holding an overstuffed backpack and pillow - and got comfortable. She sat on the bean bag chair in the corner of my room, and I sat on my bed. I placed her stuff on the floor.

I've been friends with y/f/n for years now. We met back in elementary school and have been inseparable since. We do EVERYTHING together, and I mean everything. We're constantly at each other's houses chilling or doing homework, going on double dates (well, that is until I broke up with my ex a few months ago), etc., etc. You get the idea. I call her my sister from another mother - we even have the opposite personality thing going for us. She's extroverted, and I'm introverted. I wouldn't call myself a complete hermit, though. One could still argue I'm pretty extroverted but compared to y/f/n? No, definitely not. She's the type to start a conversation with a stranger in public and befriend them - something I could never do.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Wanna bake cookies?"

"DUHH!! Don't have to ask me twice!" she squealed, jumping up from the bean bag and making her way over to the bedroom door, "but they have to be chocolate chip." she insisted. I saw no problem and followed her to the kitchen.

She found a recipe while I scoured the pantry (and fridge, can't forget the fridge) for ingredients: flour, chocolate chips, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

I got a bowl from the cabinet and began mixing everything. Y/f/n came up to me; her bubbly demeanor now changed. "Bro, look at this." she held out her phone. "Two missing teens found dead outside of abandoned orphanage."
