My best friend and i had planned to go on a night walk one night. He texted me around midnight when he was outside on the road and i could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I tiptoed to the door to find it was locked.. finding the keys would take too long and my parents would surely hear me, so i opted for the only thing that could help me - the living room window.
I climbed out the window and landed in the flower beds, dressed only in my pyjamas - not even wearing shoes - and ran across the garden, completely disregarding the fact that i had triggered the automatic lights on the outside of my house to go on, i was too pumped up on adrenaline now, heading straight for the road.
I got to the street and squinted across to see a figure walking towards me, i prayed to god it was him and i wasnt about to be in big trouble haha! But surely enough, it was, and he asked me to take a walk with him. We didn't get very far before a woman pulled over in a car asking if i was okay, she thought i was being kidnapped or raped or something. So after reassuring her i was completely fine, we decided it was safest to get off the main roads and go lay in a field under the stars - so that we did.
Laying there together blanketed under the silence of the mid-March star filled sky was just so perfect, but i truly thought nothing of it... 'its just what friends do' i told myself, as i buried my hands into his warm leather jacket and we spoke about endless stories and adventures we had had together over the years.
Using his little over shoulder strappy bag thing as a pillow, we both turned to face each other now so our faces were so close. As we spoke our lips would brush each others - and i still, SOMEHOW thought absolutely nothing of it.
Although i had never felt quite so content. I wasn't scared anymore; scared that my parents would notice i was gone, scared i would be grounded for life, scared some murderer in the field would come and kill us.. i couldnt even think anymore, about anything other than this moment i was in right now, which was so perfect. Despite his face being less than a centimetre away from mine, in the dark night i hadnt been able to see anything.. anything other than his eyes. Staring deep into mine.
Before i could even stop to breath, he kissed me. I had absolutely no idea how or why or what was happening, my whole head was spinning. It was late, maybe i was dreaming? i thought to myself. But no, this was real. The most real thing that had ever happened to me.
It got to about 3:30am, i had lost all feeling in my feet by now, numb-ness over threw my body - whether this was due to the cold weather , or what had just happened i will never know. But it was time for me to go. Watching him walk off home down the road after he had told me he loved me, and always had was the single most beautiful, romantic moment i have ever had. And i walked back home as dazed as anything, climbed back into my living room window, and made a note on my phone simply saying
"27th March...it did" so that when i woke up in the morning, i could look at my phone and be sure that what had just happened was in fact real, and not just a dream. That is the night i fell in love with my best friend
One Year Later
On the 12th of February I wrote a story in this group called 'The night I fell in love with my best friend' , what I am about to write now would probably make a lot more sense if you had read it, so for anyone who wants/ cares you can read this story if you go on my profile thingy and it's like the 16th or 17th story down. But to be honest the reason I'm posting this is mainly just so I can let it all out somewhere.
So, exactly a year ago tonight I fell in love with my best friend. The single most magical night of my life. It is so, so crazy to think that in the space of just one year absolutely everything can completely change, flip totally upset down and back to front... And then just be completely as it was again, like nothing even happened.
