Best Friends | Myles Parrish

Chapter 4

*next day*

|| Myles Pov ||

I woke up with no Liz by my side. I smelled food downstairs and heard talking, I put on my red basketball shorts and my white t-shirt and went downstairs. I saw Kalin, Jake, and Cam talking on the couch and saw my mom and someone else in the kitchen. It was Liz.

I said sup to the guys and went in the kitchen. "So, you thought I wouldn't know you weren't there?" I said to Liz. "Yeah, kinda." We chuckled and I gave my mom and kiss and a hug. My mom yelled, "FOOD!!!" The first person to get in the room, Kalin Jure White.

He got like 50 pancakes, yeah I know, my mom's a good cook. Jake said, "hey, where's my pancakes?!" Kalin pointed at his tummy and said, "down there." Jake look piss and yelled, "KALIN!!! YOU KNOW I LOVE MY MOM'S PANCAKES AND YOU ATE THEM!!" "I'm sorry, they're just so good."

"You're making me pancakes." "No way." Jake was about to jump him until Liz said, "how about later we go to my house and I'll get my mom to make pancakes." Jake said, "yeah her pancakes are my second favorite."

My mom came from upstairs and said, "ok I'm going out. I'll be back." I gave her a kiss and she left. I sat there talking to the boys when I notice Liz sitting by the pool.

I was sitting admiring my ring again. I just really hope it happens because I love him with all my heart, he was my first best friend and actually my first kiss. When we were 15. I just love him and I want to spend my whole entire life with him.

As I was twirling my ring around and felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Myles. He said, "I know." "Know what?" He pointed at the ring and I just looked down. I said, "yeah, thanks again for the ring." "No problem and you don't have to act stupid. I still remember why I gave you that ring." "Oh." "Yeah, when I asked you to marry me when we were 11."

"Yeah. I'll never forget." "Same, but you know that was long time ago. Like 12 years ago, we're just friends right?" My heart broke into a million pieces or my heart dropped to my stomach. I just acted casual and said, "yeah, but I still love the ring."

Jake came outside and said, "come on, let's go get some pancakes." Myles helped me out of the pool and to the car.

*skip to my house*

Nobody else was home so it was just us. I went to the kitchen and saw some more pancakes and gave them to Jake and one to Kalin. While they were looking I went up to my room and, grabbed my journal or diary and wrote in it.

Dear, Journal or Diary
The love of my life, my best friend is just the most greatest that came in my life and I just found out he doesn't like me back. It hurts because from when we were 11 he promised we would get married but I guess it'll never happen. I'm just his best friend who's there for him.

I felt a tear come from my cheek and landed on the page. I wiped my tear and way and put my journal up.  I just laid on my bed with a couple years coming out of my eyes and went to sleep.

*a couple hours later*

I was still sleeping until I heard someone come in. That person laid on my bed and put their hand on my shoulder. I know that warm touch, I love that touch and it was Myles. I turned to him and he look in my eyes and saw they were red.

He asked, "were you crying?" I didn't answer that and just laid there. I realized it was night and looked at my phone. I saw a couple messages from Steph, my mom, dad and Brandon. I just told them I went to sleep and they went out.

I remembered something from a dream I had and it hit me. I got up from the bed and put my vans on. Myles asked, "where are you going?" "On an adventure. Come on." We left my house and went to my backyard where the woods were.
