I'm coming home

I squealed and screamed at the new game me, tariek got. After a long stress filled day. I was finally. I looked at Tariek joy flowing through me. He was the perfect friend and one who was also laughing as we both died at the same time. I wouldn't trade him for anyone I realize. My other old "so called" friends didn't mean much to me anymore. I laughed and leaned back swearing at the tv myself. I turned my ipod off and asked.

"Wanna go walmart?"

"huh?"

"wanna go Walmart to escape this game?"

"PLEASE!"

I giggled and we turned the game off and went on our normal walmart run. I drove through the night and relaxed more as Tariek sang to the music and I drove us through the back roads. When we got to Walmart we started to judge guys and eye certain ones. I was laughing as we started our rate scale on the men.

When I dropped Tariek off, I sat in my car and tilted my head back. My emotions flooded me and rage filled me. I wanted to find the girl who would harm me and cause more shit but told myself it wasn't worth it. I lifted up my new CD and smiled knowing I'll always have one person at my side forever. We never fought only in games.

And he made me smile like there's no tomorrow. He was my ultimate friend. Even when I'm in full throttle rage mode. He just does something crazy or quotes a line from a video and I burst into laughter from it. I got my stuff out of my car and looked down the road towards the path I knew took me to Tariek home and grinned softly.

"Forever buddy...It worth it though"

I closed my door and locked it before jogging up my stairs into the house and listening to sounds around me and relaxed. I was home again with people I love and knew never do me wrong and support me in the fight. I climb the stairs and grin.

"Hey mom! I'm back!"
