Imagine falling in love without knowing what love was. Imagine having to pick up your life and move across the country from the little boy who stole your heart. Imagine your love growing stronger, every day you spend apart from each other.
As I gre...
I'm sitting on my couch eating cereal while watching some kids shows, waiting for my mom. She took off from work today to spend the day with me. I hear her coming down the stairs and I look over to them.
"Sweetie can you be ready by noon?" She had just gotten out of the shower and is drying her hair with a hand towel. She walked into the kitchen to start making some breakfast.
"Yeah of course. So where are we going?" I smile and she turns around facing me.
"You'll find out at noon, won't you?" She giggles.
"Mommmmm I need to like know how to dress depending on where we're going!" I try to convince her to budge but she won't give up a word.
"Do you really think I care what you wear?" We both laugh and I stand up.
"Okay well, we better not be going to some strip club because I am going to go put on some clothes." Again, we both burst into laughter and I head upstairs after putting my cereal bowl in the sink.
After fishing through my closet I finally pull out an outfit. I put on some light wash blue jeans, a pink floral shirt, a creme colored sweater and some white vans. I decided to leave my hair down and just brush through my natural curls. I throw on some mascara, foundation and light pink lip stick to complete the outfit.

As I look at myself in my mirror I notice the yellow construction paper note from young Aaron that I had received about 4 or 5 weeks ago tucked into the corner of my vanity. I just think of Aaron every once in a while, but lately he's been clogging my mind a lot more than ever. I sent him about three letters in the past couple weeks and I haven't gotten a single response back from him. He always answers right away and now it's like he disappeared. I go over and sit on my bed and a stray tear Falls down my cheek, I just miss him and I don't even know if he misses me back anymore. He was saying how he wanted to fly down and visit me and then I haven't heard anything since. I seriously love him and I wish I could just see him again, but does he really want to see me again?
"You almost ready love?" My mom knocks on my door and I wipe away my tears and put a smile on my face once more.
"Uh yeah mom just give me like 5 more minutes." I get up and run over to grab my white purse and fill it with a ton of crap that I seriously can't live without. I throw my phone, a charger, some mini hand lotion and perfume, Chapstick, cash, and some other useless junk that just takes up space and makes my bag heavier. I glance at the clock as I'm on my way out of my room and it reads 11:48 am. "Mom I'm ready!" I shout throughout the house and head outside to the car.
