My First Love

Got me up all night - Power Trip

"Come on Mya my big sister Mia said, what? I asked lets go outside and play with the kids because I'm bored and plus mommy said we could she says, oh alright I sighed we walked upstairs to find mommy in the kitchen with our other family member putting things up in our new house and told her that we we're going outside. Mya I'm so happy we moved because we get to start a new school on Monday but I'm sad that this is the last Friday of the summer Mia said to me as we were walking and I just shook my head, I didn't really want to start at a new school and leave some of my old friends but for some odd reasons I couldn't understand why mommy made us. We were getting closer to the children and I started getting shy and scared but not Mia she was very open, and she then spoke to a girl who was light skinned, "hi my name is Mia and this is my sister Mya and were new to the neighborhood!!! "hi Mia and Mya" the girl said I'm Yasmeen and nice to meet you guys this is Carrie and janae they stay up the street and the boys playing basketball are my 2 brothers Jermaine, and Zack and cousin Aubrey and the other 5 and there friends she said. But one of her brothers caught my eyes "Jermaine" I was staring so hard the the ball ended up knocking me out cold and I saw yellow stars that day. "Sweetie, Mya, and sissy" was all I heard when I was moving around trying to figure out what happened everyone was all huddled over me including him, are you okay baby my mommy asked,  I nodded my head and she helped me up, and his mother said to me other "sweetie I'm so sorry my son didn't mean to hit you with the ball it was an accident". Jermaine go get her some water and apologize she also said. Yes ma'am and sorry Mya he said. ( omg he said my name, wait pause do I like him or something b/c I sure have butterflies in my stomach) "baby be careful next time" mommy said. I will I said back to her and then she started to talking to his mom. "Girl we was trying to call you but you was just staring at idk " Yasmeen said to me. I shrugged and she said let's go sit on the porch and talk and wait for my foolish brother to bring you're water. The girls and I all stayed talking on the porch for a long time till about 7 when the sun started to set and I kept taking small glances at Jermaine aswell I hope he didn't notice. Carrie and Janae time to go mom just called me Marcus they're brother said and it was just me, Mia, and Yasmeen sitting and talking, while Jermaine  was practicing making lay ups by his self. Dinner is ready you guys there mother called out and why don't you too walk them home and maybe see them tomorrow okay mama they both said together. Yasmeen and Mia were ahead talking and it was Jermaine and I and he said to me I'm really sorry about hitting you with the ball, you know you don't have to say it again 1 time is enough I told him. And he giggled, I like you lil' Mya you cute and cool (I almost froze no boy has ever said that to me before omg and I'm only 8 years old and he said that I'm cute and cool) thanks I said cheesing extra hard. Okay I'll see your around lil' Mya we gone walk and get ice cream tomorrow if that's okay with you he said to me. Sure it is I said and we instantly became "GOOD FRIENDS".

It was 2 am and I  still can't sleep, idk why but Jermaine is on my mind heavy lately, I've been constantly thinking about the day he left me it's been 3 in a half years (2012) and the memories that we had that flooded my head. There were times when we acted silly, got mad at each other and other things, he was truly my best friend. He always told me that I was beautiful inside and out and that he wasn't ever going to leave my side, we had so much in common like we shared the same birthday month which is January his is the 28th and mines is the 20th but he's only older than me by 2 years. I went to all of his basketball games I was a freshman(15) and he was a junior(17) and he was very well know he wouldn't let anyone hurt me or touch me and he told me that and without him being around I wonder if that's still true. Does he still think about me? Why haven't he contacted me? I just felt the tears slide down my face thinking why and I cried myself back to sleep.
