PART 1

Authors note: This is my first story, so bare with me. I'm open to suggestions! Anything to make the story better :)

James

Audrey is my best friend in the whole world. We've known each other our whole lives. Shes funny, smart, and very pretty. She is the prettiest girl I have ever seen. Much prettier than all the other girls in school. Crap! Shes staring at me! She must have said something while I was spacing out.. again. "James? Hellooo? Anyone home?", Audrey says as she waves her hand in my face. "Oh, hey Audrey!", I said like I hadn't noticed her talking to me. Real smooth. " I asked you if you wanted to hang out after school. Maybe your tree house?", she repeated. "Yeah, sure! That sounds great!", I say a little too excitedly as I fix my glasses for probably the millionth time today. I blew it.. She must think i'm a total nerd now. Just great! "Haha, okay. I'll see you then", she said with a smile as she walked the rest of the way to class with her friends- all the cool kids.

Audrey

I'm what some people call popular, just because I have a lot of friends. No matter how many friends I have, I have the BEST friend a girl could ask for. James. He's super smart, and always makes me laugh. We've been friends forever, and he's always there for me, no matter how distracted I get, or how many times I forget about him. He's not like all the other boys at school. There's something different about him. Something in the way he looks at me. You've probably already guessed it by now, but I really like him. I could never tell him because he'd probably think I was crazy. Besides, I always get too nervous around him anyway. I'll never have the courage to tell him the truth.

James

When I got home from school, my mom and dad were waiting for me in the kitchen with peanut butter sandwiches, my favorite! Why do I have a bad feeling about this? "James, you're dad and I need to talk to you for a minute.", mom said. Uh oh. This can't be good. "Have a seat, son.", my dad said with a smile. "We have good news. I got a job offer in New York! How cool is that?!", he said with a big grin on his face. "That's great dad! But doesn't that mean we're gonna have to move?", I asked. "Yes, but don't you think an adventure sounds like fun?", he asked with hope in his eyes. I can't believe what he's saying. An adventure? I don't want to move away from Audrey just so my dad can have some stupid adventure in New York!

I ran to the backyard, tears in my eyes and went straight for the tree house my dad and I built when I was younger. I spotted Audrey already up there waiting for me, so I stopped, dried my eyes, and continued up the ladder. Hey James! Whats wrong? Why do you look so sad?", Audrey asked when she saw my puffy red eyes. "Audrey. I have bad news", I paused, feeling the tears coming back. "My dad got a job offer. We're moving to New York".

Audrey

Why does the perfect boy have to leave? Just when I thought I had the courage to tell him how I really feel. "I'm gonna miss you, James", I say as I walk back to my house alone.

Ten Years Later

James

After all these years, Audrey and I have kept in touch, unlike all my other friends who eventually faded into memories. During the first couple of years after I moved, Audrey and I would spend hours video chatting every day. That stopped shortly after she met Chad. Audrey and Chad dated for two years. I thought I had lost every chance I ever had with her since they seemed so perfect together. Chad didn't like how much time Audrey spent talking to me, and soon it seemed like we were barely talking at all. That all changed suddenly when Audrey called me one day crying.

Audrey

When I met Chad, I thought it was love for sure. He didn't me make feel quite the same way James did, but he came close. And he loved me. That had to count for something, right? I thought we could make it, but I guess I was wrong because he dumped me. Two years, and countless nights away from James, all for nothing. I hope he'll forgive me for abandoning him for so long.. I miss my best friend.

James

I haven't lost her! I still have a chance with Audrey! I wish I could tell her how I feel. She would probably stop talking to me again. I can't do that. I would rather live forever as her best friend, than let one simple sentence ruin everything. All I have to do is be there for her and be the one she can always count on. Then she'll never leave me again.
