Dahlias pov:

i pressed the door open with my body and let potato in first.

schlatt was passed out on the couch and i put my backpack in my room.

i went to where schlatt was.
i shook him awake.

"schlatt, schlatt." i whispered.
"i'm back."

he opened his eyes and his eyes widen and he tackled me in a hug.

"oh my fucking god." he whispered and kept hugging me.
i didn't know how to react and i just hugged him back.
"dahlia im so sorry, im sorry i didn't mean what i said."

"i know and im sorry too i shouldn't have said what i said about you being like aiden and my dad." i got up and he was still hugging me.

"but you were right dahlia, that's the bad thing. i'm so sorry i made you feel like that." he cried in my shoulder.

i let him hug me and i rocked back and forth slowly.
"your hair!" he got up.

"you like it?" i asked.
"it was an impulse thing."

he nodded and clears his throat.
"did niki tell you why i did what i did?"

"yeah."

"i'm sorry i shouldn't have went through your stuff."

"it's ok." i gave a soft smile.

"no it's not." he sat down next to me on the floor.
"i know how your dad used to do that and it wasn't right for me to do that."
he explained.
"you had every right to say that i reminded you of your dad cause i acted like him."

"no you didn't i'm sorry." i replied.
"and i heard you missed an episode of chuckle sandwich. i'm sorry i got you worried."

"it's ok."

jambo ran to me and i held him close.
"i'm sorry jambo." i gave him a little kiss.

"where did you go? and where did you stay?" schlatt asked.

"i was actually in dallas, and i slept in a hotel."

"with potato?"

"yeah it was pet friendly."

"oh shit i'm calling ted." he went to look for his phone.

he dialed him and sat back down next to me.
"TED!" he yelled and i flinched slightly.
"oh i'm sorry." schlatt said softly.
"ted they came back!" he said quieter.

"really?!"
schlatt turned the camera to me and i waved sheepishly.
"hi dahlia! we missed you and schlatts been a mess."

"no i haven't." schlatt laughed.

"yuh huh! you were literally drinking so much!" ted said.

the words replayed in my head.
i feel so bad.
i caused that.
i looked around and saw a few beer bottles.

i smiled and got up. "one sec."

i went to my room and shut the door softly.
the memories coming back.
clothes scattered on the floor.
i took off my shoes and sat down on my bed.
i hate to admit but i miss the feeling of being alone.
but i love someone being with me at the same time.

he walked in and sat down beside me.
"i have something to show you."
he whispered.

"ok." i replied and we got up and headed to his room.

i sat down on his bed and he pulled out a box.
"i kept this in my room cause i never knew how to show it to you. and didn't want you to remember that time." he said as he opened it.

i looked inside and there was a lot of stuff.
he patted the floor next to him and i sat down.

"you can go through it." he said.

i sat down on my knees and looked in the box.
a stuffed animal... my frog stuffie... when i was 7.

*flashback*

i walked into jays room with a backpack full of stuff.

"woah. im going to need a bigger box." jay laughed.

we got a box from a microwave that they bought.

i put a few paintings, sketches, a stuffed frog and my cassette jay made me but i already added the songs onto my mp3.
and a flashdrive of photos i took on my camera.
my walkman.
and a medal for my painting.

"i'll keep it here till you move out."

"will we move out together?" i asked.

"maybe. i hope so."

"will we still be best friends?" i asked.

"yep!" he said boldly.

"how do you know?" i asked.

"i dunno. i just know it."

*flashback end*

tears trickled down my cheeks and i held up my frog.
i set it down and I picked up my cassette.
'from: jay :)' i read.

"my handwriting was ass back then." he chuckled.

i put my finger next to it, careful not to smudge it.
i didn't know if it was sharpie or a pencil.

my bangs covered my face so i couldn't tell if schlatt was looking at me or not.

i picked up a painting i did. i thought it looked amazing. it does, just not how i remember it.
in my memory it had less color.
maybe the memory is fading.

i set it down and looked at my sketch.
the one my dad ripped.

i studied the tear, barely noticeable but i remember.
i flipped it and saw messy glue stains and tape, not noticeable on the front but everything is a mess on the back.

i rubbed my eye and black eyeliner was smudged on my wrist.

i started crying and rubbed the tear softly, feeling the little bits that stick up.

"ja- schlatt i-" i stuttered, accidentally saying his actual name.
"how long have you had this?" i asked.

"since 2011." he replied.
"you were 11 and i was 13. it was the month you were turning 12."

potato sat next to me.
he always knew when i needed a companion.

i picked him up and hugged him.
schlatt reached over and hugged me.
"i'm sorry i didn't mean to make you cry." he said, as he hugged me.

"it's ok." i replied, rubbing my thumb over potato's soft fur.

he let go and i put the cassette in my walkman.

i put an earbud in.

everlong played.

I put my head in my hands and listened.

"hello i've waited here for you, everlong."

he put an earbud in and we listened.
the next song played.

"i don't remember this?" schlatt thought out loud.

"this town dont feel mine
im fast to get away, far."

deftones.
that song was popular when i was younger.

"i don't care where just far!
away."

i listened and laid my head back against the bed.

next song.

"are you fucking kidding me?" i laughed and wiped some tears that were still on my face.
"weezer?"

"if you want to destroy my sweater
hold this thread as i walk away."
