Apart- Miniminter FF

Chapter 12

Simon walked over to me and we walked into the room. Paintings of Simon and I covered the walls. In the center of the room was a computer connected to a projector. While Simon was looking around the room I pulled up the video I had spent hours on and had it up on the projector.

"Rosie." I looked over at him as he walked toward me. "Why do you do these things for me?"

"I don't, I do them for money." I joked and he took it that way as well.

"Of course you do." We sat down on the floor and I pushed play on the video. Simon had his arms around me and I laid back against him. The video was playing, and it was going to play for hundreds of thousands of people.

"People say falling in love your best friend is a mistake. For me falling in love with my best friend was the best thing that could have happened." Every memory that actually meant something played. Conversations, our night walks, hanging out, our friendship was put out for everyone.

"Mini, I would like to say, you are a part of me, the best part. I love you." The video ended and he kissed the top of my head.

"I love you too." I turned to face him and wrapped my legs around him.

"I hope you don't mind everyone seeing all of this." He shook his head.

"I would never. Nothing people didn't already know." He played with my hair as we sat in darkness. The only light coming from the paused video on the wall.

"I'm glad I have you Mini. There is nothing better than spending time with you. Having you as my best friend is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Finding you was the only thing I thank my parents for." I leaned in and kissed him.

Time past and it was getting late. We needed to get back to Simon's parents place. We gathered our things and took the drive. His family was still up talking, which was surprising.

"How was your drive? You were gone for a while." His mom asked.

"I gave him his Christmas present. Sorry it took so long. We hung out afterward and relaxed. But were here now." I smiled and sat on the floor in front of his mom. Simon went and sat next to his brother.

"What did you get him?" I looked up at his mom as she spoke to me.

"You'll get to see it before we leave." I smiled and looked at Simon. "Everyone gets to see it actually."

"Doesn't it make it less personal?" She was right it did but it was the idea that I did it all for him.

"It does."

"But it doesn't matter mum. At the end of the day it was done just for me. All the work she put into it is incredible. She made it personal by letting me see it without everyone." I smiled at Simon and curled up in my sweatshirt.

It was nice to have family. All my life I wanted a supportive family like Simon's and I never had it. I never had support from anyone. I had finally found something I had been searching for since I can remember. I didn't have just Simon or his family, but I had friends to finally share my life with. If I felt like I was taking a dive into a deep hole of depression I had people to talk to and make things better.

I looked around at everyone. "I want to thank you guys for allowing me to join you on special times like these. You have let me do this for years and I am forever grateful. You supported me when no one else did. You have been giving me the most ultimate present anyone could receive every day since I have arrived."

"Stop being corny Rosie." Simon interrupted.

"Sentimental." I corrected him.

We spent a little while longer talking with his family before we headed up to his room and went to bed. The next morning we got up and exchanged a few small presents. We were too old for real presents. It was just little sentimental things. All we cared about was spending time with the family. It's something we looked forward to.
