Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when dads shoulders were the highest place on earth and mom was your hero? Race issues were about who the ran the fastest and war was only a card game. The most pain you ever felt was when you skinned your knees and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.


I lay on my bed thinking. Thinking about how I kissed Alaska and how I made her so happy. But, I still love Sage. I want her back but, I feel like maybe I want Alaska more. I know that if you love two people at the same you should pick the second one. Because if you truly loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second one. But, this is different I love them both but, not at the same level.


I unlock my phone and go my playlist that I listen to when I need to sleep or sad. I plug in my earbuds and close my eyes. As I start to fall asleep, my phone starts ringing. Alaska. 


Me: Hey Alaska


Alaska: I need someone to talk to


Me: Okay then talk to me

Alaska: I dreamt of you.....we were kissing and laughing together. We were so in love you even put your hand on my face and made me feel like I was the only one you could ever touch and love like that. I'm crying because I woke up.


Me: I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long. I will stay with you. There's nothing you cane ever do to lose my love. You know you can come over anytime you want too....I'm always here.


Alaska: Even now?

Me: Yeah

She hangs up on the phone and five minutes later, I hear my doorbell ring twice. I get up out bed and open the door. She runs into me and starts crying hysterically. I wrap her in a hug. I've never seen her like this. She's always been this happy and nothing can touch me but, now she has mascara stains, hair a mess, wrinkles in her clothes, and tears screaming down her face.


 It's hurts to see her like this. She looks up at me and says, "Stay. No matter how hard it is be with me, just say. I need you Alexander." I nod and keep on hugging her. I let go of her and close the door. She looks around and I tell her to sit on couch. She sits as I go into the kitchen to pour her a glass of water. I bring the glass of water and put it on the table. I turn on my tv and put on Netflix. I surf through Netflix and decide on on Finding Nemo.

I grab a blanket and put on top on her and sit next to her. She lays her head on my lap and falls asleep as Dory says," I shall call him my squishy and he shall be mine. And he hall be my squishy." I hear her mutter," You jerk." I can't help but laugh. 


I get up quietly and go into my room. I get in bed and once my head hits the pillow, I'm out cold.

 I wake up to smell of pancakes and bacon....my favorite. I get up and go into the living room. "Alaska?" I say looking around. "Yeah," she says as she peaks her head across the corner. "Why are you making me breakfast? You know I could've made it," I say going into the kitchen. She smiles and says winking, "Who said I was just making you breakfast. Maybe I wanted to eat something edible."
