Temptation

You're A Great Friend So Go Be One

Dylan. You are like an angel from heaven that fell out of the sky and brought happiness into my life. I don't deserve you but I'm lucky to have you.

I don't actually hear the words but I call tell he's calling my name as the moonlight shined on his face, pulling me away from my thoughts.

"Andrea?"

"What? Did you say something?" 

"Yeah I said make a wish," he said looking up at the shooting star that passed through the sky.

I closed my eyes and made a wish. I wish that you will always be with me. That you will never let me go.

We are on the roof of his house looking at the stars above. How did we even get up here? Everything went blank the moment I started to think about him. I opened my eyes.

"I made my wish," I said smiling.

"I hope it comes true," he said.

"I hope it comes true too."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have always wondered how it would be like if I actually met my father. There's not a day I don't think about how my life would be different if he just stayed with us. Why did he leave? Did he really hate me that much? My mother suffers everyday. She obviously wants him back but it's like he went off the radar. Never to be seen or heard from ever again. It's alright mom. It's alright. We don't need him anyway. I will protect you and care for you no matter what. I think as I watch her sleep and stroke her hair. And I know she will do the same for me.

"So spiderman huh?"

"Yeah. I want to be him he's so awesome," Dylan said with that adorable little grin on his face.

I laughed.

We walked to my house. Sarah was there. I quickly ran to her when I saw that tears had fallen from her eyes.

"Sarah. What's wrong? What happened?" I asked grabbing her hands.

"Jake broke up with me," she said really crying this time.

I wasn't really surprised. Somehow I knew this was bound to happen. He got tired of her so he breaks her heart. Typical.

"Sarah, it's okay. It will be fine. Do you want to come inside?"

"Yes," she said sobbing and wiping off her tears. "I would love that."

"Dylan. Do you want to come inside as well?"

"Yes."

"Okay let's go inside."

We went up to my room were Dylan and I tried to console Sarah.

"How can he be such an asshole."

"By already being one?"

I gave Dylan a stern look and he just shrugged at me. 

"Look Sarah you don't need him. Okay?" I said giving her a hug.

"Okay." She said still crying.

I gave her some ice cream while I talked to Dylan outside.

"You know I really hate seeing her like this. I knew that dude was not good news the moment I saw him. I feel like I haven't been a good friend to her lately. I haven't been hanging out with her and I just feel bad."

"I understand. Look Andrea, you are a good friend so why don't you go and be one right now. She really needs you. I'll see you later okay."

So Dylan went home and Sarah stayed the night at my place.

Heartbreak. That is not something I want to happen to me but I'm pretty sure it will happen sooner or later. I won't be ready when that day comes.

I decided to let Sarah at my house since she was not going to school. She slept like a baby. After a long day of schoolwork, I finally had some time to go home and lay down on my comfy bed.

I usually never check my emails but I decided why not? I'm probably just going to delete half of them. As I opened my laptop and turned it on I saw something surprising and unexpected.
