"Are you mental or something? first you show up at a strip joint by yourself late at night then you start calling me a Prince," he looked annoyed as he ran his fingers through his hair and im pretty sure i looked completely insane.

"I would appreciate it if you didnt insult me with calling me mental,"  I can believe I thought he was nice. I turned on my heel with my arms crossed and started walking away. Im not crazy, i may not be the most sane person, but im not crazy! Okay maybe im a little crazy. But who isnt just a little crazy these days?

He got a hold of my  arm and turned me around to face him, " Where do you think your going?" i got scared but i wasnt about to let him know that.

" What do you want?" I screamed in his face with my fist clenched at my side. He just kept looking at me. I shrugged my arm out of his grasp after saying, "Let go of me! What do you want?"

He let go of me looking shocked, he took a step towards me so that our chest were touching. He looked at me with focused eyes and and studered.

"Im not.. you.." I raised my eyebrows at him and placed my hands on my hips as he figured out what he was trying to figur out what he wanted to say. "You dont have to be scared  of me. i wont hurt you."

He looked down at me straight into my eyes as he took the last step that he could towards me without nocking me over and we just stared at each other. He still looked so confused. He explored my eyes, searching for answers and something must have clicked because he wasn't confused anymore. He smiled wide and chuckeled as he lifted me of my feet and swung me around in a rather awkward way. My arms were plastered to my side, my body went stiff and he just kept on hugging me. Thats when i thought, Okay this is not normal. 

I started to struggle in his arms, "Put me down! I think Your the crazy one! Put me down right now or i will scream! "

He put me down on my feet and straightened me out mumbling an apology. Then when i least expected it he just couldnt seem to control him self and hugged me with his arms looped around my waist. I went completely stiff, well this wasn't awkward (note the sarcasm).

"Hey, Um dude... Have you ever hear of a personal bubble? Because you should look it up sometime.", Why is he still hugging me, and further more why does he think its okay to hug a stranger?

He pulled back and looked confused again, "You dont remember me do you?"

Now it was my turn to laugh, "Oh come on dude! I doubt that i even knew you and if i did... Lets just put it this way, I dont even remember what I ate for lunch today. How am I supposed to remember you?"

He looked hurt, "Red,"

I stopped laughing, and looked him in the eyes. Is this guy serious? I gulped real big. He still had his arms around my waist. I only knew one person that called me that and he moved away when i was 10. And i dont remember that person having a southern accent.

"Seriously you dont remember me?" He sounded crushed.

The look on his face is making me feel so bad. I feel like i just punched a baby. I knew exactly who he was but he was part of my old life. This is going to break my heart, assuming that i have one.

We just starred at eachother, While i made the hard decision of lying to him, "Im sorry, i dont remember you." his arms dropped from my waist and he took a step back. He honestly looked disapointed.

"im sorry maybe ive got the wrong girl," He still looked hesitant on letting me go. I gave him a simpathitic look before turning aournd and walking away.

I was half-way up the alley when he shouted, " So does that mean you dont want to go buy a pack of gummie bears? I'll let you have all the red ones, that is how you got the name Red," I stopped walking.

"Or maybe we could go to Frugees' and get a rootbeer float," I turned, and he had the same silly smile plastered on his face that he did when we were little, "Common Red don't leave me hangin" Oh. My. God. ITS REALLY IS TUCK!!!! 

Memories come rushing back to me. Gummie bears, rootbeer floats, sleep overs, promises and a blood oath. I still have the scar from the blood oath. I smiled so wide it hurt. My bestfriend is back! We stood far away from eachother and grinned like idiots for all of 3 minutes. Then we started running to eachother. I couldnt take it anymore, i missed him too much. 

With my heart racing, I met him halfway down the alley and hugged him while crying, "Tucker, I missed you so much!" I let the tears fall for the first time in a long time.

" Golly Red, I don't remember you being such a cheese ball," Tucker said with his southern accent.

" I'm sorry," I laughed, not letting go, "I dont remember you having a southern accent" 

I tried pulling back but he wasnt having that, "Were do you think your going?"

"I was going to move, you were the one complaining that im being a cheese ball," He was not letting me go though. And i didnt want him to.

"Hu-uh Red, cheesy or not, your staying right here where i can keep you safe," and he hugged me tighter.

"Tuck, its ok, im not going to run away" i cant believe im laughing right now. Tucker was the only one that would ever make me laugh but, Its just been so long and i've been through way too much. I also can't believe he came back.

"We still have to go get gummie bears remember?," I smiled up at him.

He chuckled, "Alright Red," he let me go and took just my hand, " And you cant forget the Rootbeer floats either" we start walking up the alley towards Frugees.

"Oh of course! I could never forget the rootbeer floats." we smiled at each other and i prayed to God that he wouldnt leave again. I shivered and he must have noticed because he slipped his coat off and drapped it over my shoulders. I smile up at my bestfriend and snuggle up to his side. I finally have my other half back.
