Best Friends Forever. /// Tanner Fox

Chapter 1.

A. N.
I'm just gonna jump right in. Enjoy!

I have lived next to the Fox family for my entire life. Tanner and I were as close as two peas in a pod basically since birth. Whenever I needed anything I could easily walk into the Fox house for any advise or words of wisdom. I've had so many restless nights and early mornings where I would find myself running across the yard wrapped in my blanket, knocking softly on the front door, and silently climbing under Tanners warm sheets. Our windows were also right across from each other, so once we were older we would have conversations almost every night between our two windows. I even pushed my bed against the wall so if I dozed off I could hear Tanner whispering if I really needed to.   We went through so many things together, from antics to the passing of my dog when I was 5. I loved how we adventured almost everyday since we could walk and talk. When I was 6 and tanner was just about to turn 6, we walked down to sunset cliffs, which was right by our houses. We found a little crook in the rocks and declared it as our spot. It was just starting to get dark while we were playing around in our spot, so we carved our names in the rock wall of the crook and ran home before we got in trouble for being out so late. For the years to come we went to that spot almost regularly.
I am now 17 and its the summer before my senior year of high school, right when tanners YouTube career is taking off. He wasn't around much anymore and it was heart breaking. Between him traveling and hanging out with new friends and hot girls and me preparing for school at a normal high school and working my ass off, we didn't have much time together. Because if this, we hadn't visited our spot in a couple of months. He was out of town too often so we didn't talk from our windows much like we did all those years prior. I couldn't run across the yard barefoot and jump under the sheets anymore. We still text and snapchat all the time regardless of location, or time of day really, but I missed hearing his voice and being able to feel him. Now, neither of us had feelings for each other and we've made it very clear. But, we were each other's first kisses, but only because we wanted to "practice" before doing anything with anyone we hardly knew, and you can't really count first kisses.
My work day was shitty to say the least. Everyone just seemed to have an attitude with me today. I worked at a free running facility called Tempest. I worked from open to close with a break, but I was still exhausted. I had just laid down after grabbing some food on my way home and my phone rang. I thought it was just going to be one of my friends calling, so I took my time to check who it was. As soon as I saw Tanners name light up my screen as "TFox Banging", my day just switched. I hadn't seen him in months, and I was having best friend withdrawals. I suddenly didn't care that everyone was being rude at work and all I cared about was Tanner. No I don't have a crush on him.
I answered with a little too much spunk, "hey tanny baby"
He replied with the typical, "Hey little lady, what's good?"
"Nothing much, but I'm laying down and relaxing so the day is getting better, why?"
"Come outside."
I dropped my phone and was full on Usain Bolt on my way outside. I ran out of the house and saw the white GTR parked on the street where it had been normally absent for sometime. Then there was Tanner. He was leaning against the car with arms crossed. He had grown a decent amount since I saw him last, and his hair was styled just slightly differently. I liked it. I froze in my tracks, barefoot on my front lawn. Then I was in a full sprint to Tanner. When I reached him I jumped and latched my legs around his waist and my arms swung around his neck. I buried my head in the crook of his neck taking in his scent, squeezing so tight I could probably kill him.
He said through his familiar laugh, "Happy to see me?"
I was too excited to even respond.
