"Ross, you're my best friend." She said, holding her little box in her hand. "And you're mine too, Laura." I answered, sadly.
"And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?" "Yeah, forever." I answered smiling and together we buried our boxes deep...
My mouth slightly opened, i stood there, totally grown on the ground.
Laura smiled, and i swear she had the cutest smile ive ever seen, and slowly walked down to me.
I swallowed and shook my head short before looking at her and coming to myself, "Laura?!"
I started realizing what was happening and a big fat smile placed itself on my mouth.
She nodded smiling and when she was close enough i pulled her to me and hugged her tight, "Laura, oh my godness."
She laid her head against my chest and digged her nails in my back to hug me tighter.
It felt so good, but just seconds later i heard her sobbing, so of course I pulled away and looked at her, "Hey, whats wrong?!" I asked afraid.
Laura giggled while she was wishing away her tears, "nothing, its just.." She looked at me again and smiled soft, "its been 10 years. Youre so tall. Youve changed much." She looked down at me and up again.
"I can say the same about you, well except the tall thingy, youre still much tinier than me." I laughed.
"Shut up." She giggled again and gosh she was so sweet. She always has been and she always will be.
I just smiled big, i was so happy, no words could describe how i was feeling in this moment.
"Hey, wanna go to my house?" She offered.
Surprised I frowned, "you're living here?"
Nervous she put a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded, doing her hands in her jeans pocket, "yeeah.. Me and my dad moved back two or three years ago."
"Just you and your dad? what about Vanessa and your mom?" I asked curious.
"My parents divorced and my mom took Vanessa, not that she didnt want me but my dad needed me and i said im going with him, well he decided to come back."
"But aren't you lonely here?"
"I have my dad, hes all i need." She smiled then, "and Internet connection maybe."
I smiled too and then nodded, "Lets go to your place."
Laura led me to her dads house, considering that this was a small village, this house was really huge.
"Wow. Are you rich?" I asked when we arrived in front of it.
Laura smiled soft while looking down. "This is a small town, everything here isnt that expensive you know? Come."
She slowly opened her front door and let me in first. When i walked in, I careful looked around, dressed off my shoes.
A few pictures catched my look, pictures of Laura in little. Exactly like i always saw her, like she looked in my memories.
Memories of us laughing, of us eating, of us doing everything together. Now we were finally gonna make new memories.
"Pssh, he's probably sleeping. come upstairs with me." She whispered after dressing off her shoes as well and slowly going up the stairs.
I was quite excited to see her room. was it gonna be all pink and hello kitty, like rydels,or was it gonna be plastered with dark shades and dark things everywhere?
"Dont be too shocked by my room, i didnt tidy up." Laura said when we stopd in front of her door.
On her door were pictures of her and a few friends, and a paper with her name on it, all things girls have on their doors.
Then she opened it, and all i saw was white. white bed, white walls, white closets and nightstands, white lamps, everything was white,but it looked like a room of a princess.
The bed was 2 times bigger than mines, like a bed for wife and husband and it looked so soft, i just wanted to throw myself onto it.
I stepped in and she closed the door behind her. Alone in a room again after 10 years. Just that infront of me didnt stand a girl.
In front of me stood a gorgeous brown haired-19 years old woman. And she looked so natural, no makeup except a bit mascara and a bit lipgloss.
"Ross?" She said, laughing slightly when I realized i looked at her lips maybe a bit too long.
I shook my head, "sorry. i just still need to realize that youre standing here in front of me. I cant believe it."
"I know right?!" She began and took my arms and pulled me to the bed, sat down and i did too, "Speak about you, how are you? what are you doing? how are your siblings doing, your parents?"
"Slow down." I smiled, "Okay, so. Im fine, im excellent." I decided to not mention that i could need a cigarette, "Im doing nothing actually, just chilling my life at home, a few parties here a few parties there, the typical California living."
I smiled but also kinda noticed how this sounded, "Wait, this shouldnt mean im this kind of boy. I mean yes i like to drink a bit and partying is great b-"
"Its all right, Ross. I love drinking sometimes. Especially the short ones." Laura smiled big.
I sighed relieved, "good. We could drink a few together some day."
"But when im drunk i do the most weird and most unexpected things ever. And you probably have to carry me home." Laura blushed but i just had to smile.
"Im fine with that." I just answered smiling and looked around in her room.
"I wouldn't have thought that you would actually come, you know? I mean 10 years, woaw!" She spoke up again after a short while.
I looked back to her and nodded, "Yes, I thought the same of you. I thought that so much could have happened and it would be just a waste of time, and when i sat there 2 hours waiting of you, and you didn't appear, i just lost my hope of ever seeing you again."
"Wait. 2 hours?" Suddenly she busted out laughing, "Omg im so sorry! What reminds me of the fact that we still have to fetch our boxes later."
"Omg right, i totally forgot!"
I thought about when i put things in it, in there was a stone, a few feathers, school glue (no i can't remember why i put that in it) a 1c coin and a piece of paper which the inscription..
I widened my eyes at the thought of what I wrote onto the paper.
Me loves you.
- R.
Yes i was young and i didnt even know what love meant and I still dont know it, but it would be so awkward if she reads it. especially because back then i denied that i loved her when she said i did. Fuck.
Mission get that letter out before Laura it reads started.
