I Was Here All Along. (Lisa Cimorelli)

Starbucks, Bags, and Walks.

Ty's POV

It was 4 am and I couldn't sleep. I had just got back from my trip 2 hours ago and I was definetely tired but I could not sleep! I kept tossing and turning trying to get into a comfortable position in hopes that I would fall asleep. But it all failed. I just couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop my mind from wandering. I couldn't stop my mind from thinking of her. 

Lisa Cimorelli.

I had missed her so much on my trip and I couldn't wait to see her. A whole month without my best friend! I wondered how I managed it. A whole month without seeing her beautiful face. Without seeing the way her hair flowed nicely in the wind. Without seeing the way her brown eyes sparkled in the sun. Without hearing her sweet voice telling me it would be ok when I was down. How did I do it?

After a while, I figured there was no point trying to fall asleep because obviously my brain wouldn't let me. I got up and had a shower to freshen up and wake me more. I shaved and put on cologne, then got dressed into a pair of shorts and a Nike top.

I went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee. I normally don't make coffee myself because it doesn't always turn out that good but I figured it was way to early to go to Starbucsk.

By the time I had finished my coffe it was 5 am. I still had a lot of time to kill before it would be acceptable to go over to Lisa's.

I turned on my computer and went onto YouTube. I waited for the site to load and when it did I typed 'Cimorelli' into the search bar. When it loaded I clicked on their channel and went to watch Wrecking Ball.

Lisa looked stunning. Her voice was literally like an angels. At her part, it almost had me in tears from how sad it looked. Yes, it's true. But Lisa doesn't need to know that (;

Next I clicked on their Royals by Lorde cover. I just found it so amazing how all of them could just sing like that. I found myself liking it way more than the original. When the song was over I stayed watching for the bloopers. Lisa was hilarious!! I missed her jokes and craziness! I really did. The bloopers just reminded me so much of all our times together. And after that, I felt tired....

I woke up to my Dad yelling for me from downstairs.

"TY!! LISA'S HERE!!!" I heard him say.

I looked over at the clock. 8:30. I must have fallen asleep after all. The last thing I remembered was watching their Royals cover.

I went downstairs to see Lisa.

"TYSAON JAY DUFT!!" she yelled to me as I was still coming down the stairs.

"LISA MICHELLE CIMORELLI!!" I yelled back trying to make fun of her.

She ran up to me and gave me a hug. I missed those hugs. I mean, I don't know if you know or not but Lisa gives the best hugs in the world.

"I got you a drink!" she said breaking the hug. She handed me a Vanilla Frappuchino from Starbucks. I smiled to myself remembering how I wanted Starbucks earlier. Man, this girl really was amazing. I missed her so much!

"I already drank mine..." she added after handing me the drink.

"Well you're not getting any of mine Lisa Michelle." I teased

"Hey, no fair! I bought it for you!" she complained

"You know I'm joking. I'd do anything for you!" I told her. "I'd do anything for an angel like you" I muttered to myself softly so she couldn't hear.

"Let's go unpack your bags" she said to me as she headed upstairs to my room.

"I BAGS DOING THE CLOTHES ONE!!" she yelled to me.

I laughed. I knew how much she liked looking through my clothes.

"That one there" I said, gesturing to a yellow bag in the corner. She grabbed it and started unzipping it.

I looked around the room looking for another luggage for me to unpack. I grabbed my blue luggage, brought it to the centre of the room and started to unzip it. I opened it and looked inside. They were the souveneris I had bought for Lisa and her family. But mainly Lisa. I gasped quietly and shut the bag. It was meant to be a surprise. I looked over to Lisa trying to see if she had seen it or not.

"You know, you don't have to help me unpack my bags. I'm quite capable." I said to her.

"I want to! It's the least I can do after waking you up after only 5 hours of sleep." she explained "Oh, I like these!" she said quickly after, holding up a blue tie she had pulled out of my bag.

I chuckled to myself. "And I like you.." I said softly to myself.

Soon we were done with the unpacking and we went downstairs. We were just sitting on the couch next to each other. Not talking much, but perfectly happy with each other's presence.

I looked over at her. She looked so beautiful. The many sights I saw on my trip could not compare to the beauty of her. I had missed her so much and I was so glad to be back with her now.

"I missed you." I said suddenly to her out of nowhere.

"I missed you too Ty." she told me.

"Let's go for a walk!" I said to her and we walked out the door.

We walked down the streets around the neighbourhood and on the beach. It was nice to finally be with my best friend. But something inside of me wanted to be more than that. More than just a friend. But I didn't want to blow it. I wanted her to know, I wanted her to realise just how much I loved and cared for her. I longed for her to see that I didn't want to be with anyone else and I didn't want her to be with anyone except me.

I wanted her to know, but I was scared. Lisa wasn't like any other girl I had met. I met her 8 years ago when we were both hormone raged teenagers. But she wasn't like the other girls. She had self-control and self-respect. She never went chasing after guys. She believed that if it was meant to happen, it would. And this was why I was afraid. Maybe if I asked her she would be unsure. Maybe she wouldn't be ready for a relationship. And if that was her answer maybe it'd ruin our friendship.

My mind had wandered so far for so long that I hadn't noticed Lisa had been talking to me.

"Ty?" I heard her say and I snapped back into reality.

"Um, yeah?" I answered her unsure of what she originally asked.

"You okay Ty? You've gone quiet." she asked sweetly.

"Um, yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking I guess.. I'm fine." I replied

"Ok, but you know you can tell me anything yeah. I'll always be here for you" she told me

"Yeah I know. Thanks Lise. I'm fine" I smiled at her

I was fine. I was happy with Lisa. But in a way I wasn't satisfied with what we had. I didn't want to scare her away. I was too afraid of losing her. No. I wanted her by my side until the day I died whether it was as a couple or just as friends.

If we're meant to be together, we will be. If that line was good enough for Lisa to control herself for 8 years, it would be good enough for me too.

But boy, was she beautiful....
