*Eli's P.O.V*
I sat on the front porch of my house, soaking up the warm summer sun. It felt good to just relax for a moment, wearing my favorite pair of black basketball shorts and a comfy white t-shirt.
McDonald's had come to the rescue for lunch, and I savored every bite of the cheeseburger in my hand.
I was eagerly waiting for Moon to arrive so we could hang out. We had planned this day for a while, and I was excited to spend some quality time together.
We're friends so we're allowed to hang out.
While I waited, I couldn't help but scroll through Instagram on my phone. It was a way to pass the time and see what my friends were up to.
But then, as I scrolled, I saw it. A bunch of posts from my friends about starting karate training again. My heart sank a little.
It reminded me of the dojo, the place I used to love going to. Well, I still love the dojo. But I'm taking a break right now and it was my decision.
Memories of kicks and punches flooded my mind.
And then, there it was. A post from Sam. I froze, my thumb hovering over the screen. Seeing her in her training clothes, looking all determined, brought back a wave of emotions.
It hit me hard, like a punch to the gut. I still felt hurt from everything that had happened between us, but that was pretty obvious.
I sat there, lost in my thoughts, the summer heat suddenly feeling suffocating. The McDonald's cheeseburger became an afterthought as I stared at Sam's post, my mind racing.
I didn't know what to think or how to process it all. All I knew was that the hurt was still there, and seeing pictures of Sam made it harder.
My fingers trembled slightly as I scrolled through the feed. Even seeing pictures causes so much pain.
My heart sank. I missed it, missed them. But I couldn't go back. Not yet.
With a sigh, I switched off my phone. The screen blinked into darkness.
I put my head in my hands, my thoughts a whirl of confusion and regret.
Then, a flash of red caught my eye. Moon's car. My heart skipped a beat. I watched as she stepped out, the summer sun casting a warm, golden glow on her.
She was wearing her favorite summer dress, the one with the sunflowers. She looked like a ray of sunshine herself.
Despite everything, I found myself smiling. She always had a way of making everything feel a little less heavy.
Seeing her there, standing in the summer sun, I felt a flicker of hope. Maybe, just maybe, things could start to look up.
Perhaps this is what I needed. Just a day with a friend and I didn't have to worry about anything.
"Thanks for coming over and hanging out with me." I said.
"Of course." She smiled, "This will be fun."
Moon and I are friends and I mean that. Moon had already said that she isn't interested in trying something. Since she knows that, deep down, I still had feelings for Sam.
And she wouldn't betray Sam's trust by going out with me. Isn't Moon great?
But going back to my feelings for Sam - nowadays I just want to deny those. I just want to forget about everything that happened between Sam and I for awhile.
Let me have a day of peace.
"I'm sorry." I apologized, "I was eating McDonald's.."
"Oh, that's okay." She dismissed it. "Don't worry about it."
