𝐼𝓉'𝓈 𝑀𝓎 𝐵𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎!!

It is Thanksgiving day, I am spending it with my family of course. Sounds nice right? Well it is but I'm missing someone right now. My best friend Tom. Not just any ordinary guy, he is Tom Holland. Now you must wonder how I landed one of the best guys in the whole world to be my best friend. Well it's simple, I've known him since I was 16 and he was 24. Yes, we are 8 years apart I know that's a lot for some people but it works for us. I mean we are just best friends of course. Yes I have feelings for him and I don't think it's a problem our age difference because if we ever dated it's okay because I've known couples who are ten or eleven years apart.

I don't know how he feels about the age difference or if he feels what I feel, but I've always hoped for more. He lives in the UK and I live in the US. It really sucks the distance but whenever he's in the US filming something he always stops in or I go to see him. We have been friends for almost two years now. We met on my Birthday when I turned 16! Now tomorrow the 25th of November is my birthday and our friend anniversary. I don't know if he even remembers honestly. He's been going through a lot this year with a lot of crazy fans and privacy problems.

Anyway, if you didn't know already, well, My name is Ella! The day is half way over already and I've eaten a lot of food! My Italian family is a bit crazy on holidays! I called Tom this morning and he wished me a Happy Thanksgiving but said nothing about tomorrow. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to make him feel bad if he forgot but I genuinely hoped he had a surprise up his sleeve or just wasn't saying anything about it for some good reason. I don't know why I feel like sometimes someone could be giving me a surprise party or something special all the sudden that it's a big thing going on because no one ever does anything more then a small gift and a little message. Most people forget to even message me because of my birthday being around Thanksgiving which I understand cause they are busy but it still hurts just a little bit. I was born on Thanksgiving which makes me extra special but honestly being born around a holiday sometimes makes you feel like you're the last thing on peoples minds.

I think Tom could tell something was up cause he asked me twice how I was doing. I just told him I was tired cause I was but he probably saw through it or at least I hoped he did. "What are you up to tomorrow Tom?" I asked curiously. "Nothing much why?" He sounded suspicious. "Oh I was... just wondering if you wanted to FaceTime or something. Maybe watch the same movie at the same time or whatever?" I sadden my voice a bit. "Uh yeah sure.... how's the evening tomorrow, around 3pm for you and 9pm for me?" He hesitated for a second. "Okay, talk to you then mate." I tried my best to blurt it out fast. I didn't want to accidentally call him love because well, I really like him.

"Alright mate, see you then." He hung up quickly. See you then? I know it's FaceTime but it sounds suspicious, I'm probably just overthinking.

(The next day)

Hearing a load beeping noise, I rolled over and turned my alarm clock off. It was 9:30am. I was still so tired. I didn't sleep as good as I could have. I was so excited! It's my birthday!! I am turning 18 today!! I feel like Rapunzel. She liked Eugene who was 8 years older than her and she got more freedom that day as well as a new dream. Haha. I just love that movie and relate so much to it. I so badly wanted Tom to be my Eugene. It wasn't gonna happen though unless of some miracle. As soon as I got out of bed, I opened a beautiful little charm bracelet from my friend Anna. She had sent it to me in the mail as she couldn't be with me today, I missed her.

I quickly opened my phone to see how many messages I got. Nothing except from my grandparents and my friends Anna and Meems. I love them so much. Nothing from Tom yet either. It was early in the morning for me so maybe he thought he'd wait until our FaceTime call.

I went through the day cleaning and decorating for Christmas which I absolutely love to do. Each year seems different as you get older and loose people but at the same time each year is its own kind of special. When I got a chance, I sat down are wrote what I was thinking in my journal. I am a writer, I love to write but I haven't gotten the chance in a while cause my writing hand has been hurting me from to much use. It was around maybe 1pm. I was finishing up my lunch when I heard a car door slam. I looked out the window to see if someone was here.
