Jenna's POV-

It was pretty clear this wasn't just a little argument like we'd had before. Before, we argued because we cared about each other. And we're arguing at this moment for, actually.....caring. Because I came to the bus because I cared about that kid. We always argued because we cared about each other. She's a good kid.

I went back to the bus and put in my earphones. Tears filled my eyes instantly when the new track, The Other Side played.

I was back in high school when we were talking late from ten staying up till three a.m., just friends.

Flashbacks entered my mind of me sitting at my window, with my window open.

You didn't have your liscence yet we would lie under sunsets without a single worry yet, just friends.

Skateboarding through the neighborhood to the school, where we'd climb to the roof and watched the sunset without a care in whatever was going on at the moment.

And you would let me cut your hair, I thought about you everywhere. I haven't been the same since then, just friends.

"Jenna, you give the best haircuts. Could you maybe cut mine?" "Of course!" "I really missed you while you were gone." "I missed you more than ever."

Cause every time I ran, I ran to you. I meant it every time I said I loved you.

"What the heck Jenna, why are you climbing through my window?"

"So my parents don't hear me leave my room."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I just need a hug." "

Okay, okay."

"I love you."

"I love you."

I kiss the thought of you and I, I still regret the day that we said goodbye.

"Hey, so my date ditched me for prom. Want to go with me?"

"Me?"

"Yes you! I wouldn't want anyone else to go."

"Sure."

And do you think of me at night? I still wish we could've made it right.

I remember waking up to look out the window to the house next door and see my best friend looking back at me. We smiled, and went back to sleep.

But we can't say that we never tried, I guess everything seems more clear here on the other side.

Then I remembered what went wrong.

I left you at the station where I would cry and watch you stare out the window as you left, just friends.

I remember watching the train go, and meeting those eyes that had tears in them.

I called you from a payphone I'm out of the country but I'm fine I just miss you all the time, just friends.

And me walking two miles to find a payphone just to make that call. Just to hear that voice.

Cause every time I ran, I ran to you. I meant it every time I said I loved you.

"I just wish you were here." I heard on the other side of the call.

"Please, don't make me wish I was there. I'd find a way to get there because I love you."

I kiss the thought of you and I. I still regret the day that we said goodbye.
