Flight

I was always telling Christiana that she wasn't fat. Always, she always said "Benjamin, the bullies are right, I'm fat. And I can't help it." She'd look down at her stomach and thighs and say "it'll be like this forever" that's me, Benjamin. Me and Christiana are best friends, and I'd do anything to make those bullies lay off of her, I never thought it'd really matter. Whenever she was having down days I'd say "yes, it'll be like this forever, forever yourself, forever lovely. If ever those bullies go too far, I'll be standing right next to you." And she'd smile, wondering if it was true or not, whether I was just saying it to make her feel good, but I wasn't, she was mine and I was hers. Forever and always. And if best friends had mottos, that would be ours, forever and always next to you. And ever since we were very little we'd been planning our mega trip, to Disneyland Florida. Seems a little strange, but it was our ambition to get ourselves to Florida, and our parents wanted to make it happen too, they had been saving up the money and this year. 2013, we'd achieved it, and we'd got it booked and everything. This is the story, the story of our 2013.
