And...The Rest...

Its only the beginning bestie

As I carried on with high school he also continued. We visited each other on breaks during my freshman year and his sophomore year. The summer I was going into Sophomore year we hung out all summer. In July we stayed here in New York. In August we went to his place in California. And I know what you're thinking. “Why would your parents trust you alone with him?” Well we have been friends since pre k. And he has never betrayed me or my father. My father is like a father to Johnny. Johnny was so happy to be around my father. They used to laugh and have a good time.
When it was time to return home in September to start my Sophomore year, he drove me from California to New York. It took 6 days to get back home. When we were in Louisiana, we both fell asleep in the car. He slept in the backseats, I slept in the passenger seat. It was only the 3rd day he was so calm sleeping. I stayed up that whole night staring at him. Yea it's weird but at the time I didn’t care.
When he woke up I bought us breakfast. I got a chocolate chip muffin with french vanilla coffee. Johnny got a sausage egg and cheese burrito and hazelnut coffee.
After we ate and made jokes we started driving again. We switched off every so often. I had a permit and Johnny had a license. I drove for 6 hours.

When we finally pulled into my driveway I was asleep. Basically he put the car in park and fell asleep too. We were sleeping in the car for hours until my dad's girlfriend Carole knocked on the window. Johnny woke up first and rolled down his window.
“Hey Ms. Laruns, sorry we fell asleep in the driveway I-”
“Nah don’t worry bout it just make sure she is in the house tonight”
We arrived around 10 am. It was 3:30 pm when she told Johnny.
Johnny woke me up and carried me inside into my room and sat on the floor next to me and we played uno.
I still don’t understand why he carried me but who knows some men like to feel strong. I won 4 times, sadly Johnny won twice.
After that we fell asleep again and woke up to my dog Gumball running in my room and jumping on both me and Johnny in excitement. I was annoyed but happy. Gumball is a big Irish wolfhound. SOOOOOO FLUFFFYYYY.
After me and Johnny got up from being jumped on, we went for a walk with Gumball. He was doing a happy walk. Kind of hooping and walking at the same time. We walked to the store across town to get food at a store. I gave Johnny my debit card because I trust him.

We ate outside the store and gave Gumball some food. We went back home and we laughed and joked the whole way home. He also talked about Homecoming and how his is a month after mine so he offered to take me. I didn’t wanna be annoying so I said no because he would have to travel twice in one month. That's a lot of money being wasted. But he insisted.
Couple weeks later he showed up at my house the day before homecoming. He had his suit and shoes in his hands. I gave him the biggest hug ever! My body was filled with so much joy! I couldn’t believe he actually showed up.
That night we played video games all night long. Luckily, homecoming was on a saturday so we had time to sleep before getting ready. I slept on one side of the couch and he slept on the other side. My dad took photos of us and posted them on Facebook and tagged Johnny’s mom.
We actually fell asleep around 5am and woke up at 4:30. I am pretty sure everyone respected us and let us sleep or they tried but we didn’t move because we were so tired. When I woke up, I went up stairs and let Johnny sleep. I got in the shower and washed my body and hair. After I was down I lathered myself in lotion and body oils. That's when Johnny woke up. He came upstairs and knocked on the door.
“Yo Liv what you doing boo berry”
“Mannnn I’m lathering myself in oils what you want”
“Nun just woke up and seen u gone”
He was always overprotective of me. He always beat up the people who bullied me. He always defended me even when I was wrong. He was my super hero.
When I was finished in the bathroom I went to my room where he was sitting. I had a robe on so it's fine. I sat at my desk where one side has makeup and the other has school supplies. I grabbed my small mirror and I started applying my makeup. Johnny didn’t know what my dress looked like yet but he knew the colors because he wanted to match with me. It took me not that long to finish my makeup look. I practiced a lot. I started to do my hair. At the time I dye my hair black for homecoming

(we rocked homecoming)
