California Dream (urban)

Bestfriends

When I lay down I decide to scroll through my Instagram. As I scroll down my timeline I see a picture of me and my bestfriend. And then It hit me. I was supposed to text him when I got in the house. So I decide to text him now.

To Bestfriend Ken👫💙📸🔐:
Sorry I forgot to text u wen I got in😔but I'm home☺️

As I send the message I start to think of how me and Ken started being bestfriends. We have been bestfriends for 4 years. We started being friends after my parents died. We both had a dream. My dream was to be a model while his was to be a photographer. So he would practice on me and have mini photo shoots.

We told each other everything. But when I was 16 him and his family moved away to New York. We always tried to keep in touch as much as we could. Until one day I called him and he never answered or called back. I tried everyday calling and texting him but I never got a reply back. So after that I just gave up.

It wasn't until a little bit after I turned 18 I started being known and being booked for photo shoots and modeling gigs.

It was a regular day and I was going to do another photo shoot. When I walked into the building I noticed this man who looked very familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on who it was exactly. Then I noticed him walking towards me while looking down at a camera.

"Hello. I am going to be taking your pictures for you today. By the way my name is Ken." Saying all this while still looking at his camera. Then he lift his head and said "Sorry for being rude." And goes to shake my hand.

Then it all came to me. This is Ken. My bestfriend that I lost contact with a while ago. I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this really him.

"KEN??" I said surprised.

"De'arra??" He looked much as surprised as me.

"Yes it's me! Omg! Ken I missed you sooo much." We give each other a tight hug.

"I missed you too." He says.

"What happened? I called and texted you but you never replied."

"I broke my phone and my parents never bothered to buy me another one. When I got my new phone I had a different number and I didn't remember your number. "

"Are you guys done talking because we need to get this thing on the roll." Calls a man from the other side of the building.

So after the photo shoot we exchanged numbers. We talked on the phone all night and catched up on what we missed in each other's life. He told me he came back to California to pursue his career and to find me. And I told him about me modeling.

After a week or so our relationship was back on track. It was like we never departed. When I look at my phone I see that Ken texted me back.
