Best Friends | Myles Parrish

Chapter 5

|| Still Liz Pov ||

I pointed to a little trail and said, "come on." He followed me and after about a couple minutes of walking, we saw a river and the rope we use to use.

Myles asked, "oh I know where we're going." I grabbed the rope and swung to the other side. Same with Myles. We ran and ran until we got to where we were going. It was our old treehouse that we always use to go to, 2003 was a great year. We always came down here and that's when we build it, I climb on the treehouse and I helped Myles up.

We walked around seeing some of our old drawings, pine cones we always collected, and something we carved in the wall. "M + L" I said, "Myles come here." He came to where I was and saw the mark. "Now I remember that. We were 10 and we carved that in there." "Yeah."

I looked up and saw our old flag. Oh my god we were stupid back than. We sat down on the edge of the treehouse and looked around, I said, "I can't believe it's been a couple years since we've been here."

"I know. I miss you a lot." "Shoot, now I gotta pee!" "Remember where that is." "Yeah, yeah, be right back." He jumped from the treehouse ran away. I got up and looked around the treehouse, I than looked at the curving "M + L" than I had a flashback.

Flashback

Sunday, June 22, 2003

After church Myles and I put on some casual clothes and ran to our hide out/treehouse. I got there before Myles and said, "Ha! Beat ya!" "I let you win." "Yeah, ok."

I climbed into the treehouse and went to where we collected pine cones. Myles put his down and I put my down. I saw a carving knife and Myles said, "let me see." I gave it to him and carved "M + L" into the wall. I said, "what's that mean?"

"It's our treehouse and you're mine." He hugged me and kissed me head. But I asked, "what do you mean I'm yours?" "You're my best friend, my twin, and soon to be my bride." He took out a little box and got down on one knee.

He said, "Liz, I know we promise to wait till we're older but can you take this ring?" He opened the box and I took the ring. I asked, "how could you afford this?"

"It's my mom's ring. She said that I can give it to you because you're awesome and like a daughter to her." "Aww." I kissed Myles cheek and we went home because we heard someone calling us.

End of the flashback

I didn't even realize I was crying, tears were coming out of my eyes and I looked at my ring again. I heard Myles calling my name, "Liz!!" "Up here!" He came up and we laid there looking at the stars because

Myles opened the top door up on top. I laid on his chest and looked at the stars. Myles took out his phone and took a picture of us. He posted it on Twitter saying,

@YourBoyMyles: My girl 💜 @YourGirlLiz

Than he posted it on Instagram, I saw it and hit Myles. I said, "no delete that, I look ugly in that picture." "No you don't, you look beautiful." He said laughing. I said, "you're so mean."

He pulled me into a hug and we sat up. I looked deeply into his eyes and I didn't know what was happening, we were so close to kissing until my phone went off. Steph was calling me.

Steph🌺: Where are you?

Me: I'm at my old treehouse

Steph🌺: ok, come home we're about to eat

Me: ok

I hung up and said, "come on. We gotta go." We left the treehouse and went back to my house.

We got there and mom cooked us dinner, my dad asked, "Are you spending the night tonight?" "Nah, since we got school tomorrow." "Ok." Myles left and Steph rushed me to her room.

She closed the door really fast and said, "ok where were you? What happened?" "What do you mean?" (Justin Bieber people!!)

"you know exactly what I mean." I turned red and said, "ok ok I'll tell you." I told her every single detail since she wanted to know and freaked. "YOU ALMOST KISSED MYLES??!! AGAIN??!" "Yes again.

We were so close until you called." "I'm sorry but for real oh my god." "Shut up Steph." I left her room and finished eating. After I took a shower, got dressed and everything else, I went to bed but got a text from my phone.
