Lori;

I said bye to my bus driver as I got off the big, yellow vehicle. The last day of the week was the easiest, but 8th grade was a whole new thing, especially with Jacob gone. I sighed opening the door as my mom gave me a small.

"Hey, honey. How was school?"

"Good...I guess", she hugged me as I went up upstairs tossing my backpack into the corner, tossing myself onto my grey bedsheets. Jacob was on tour, now in New York, while I'm back home in Virgina living right across the street from the famous Sartorius home.

The secret is nobody knows that I live next to or am friends with Jacob Sartorius. The popularity is too much. Jacob was kind of like the other half of me, but there's things that I've never told Jacob because of reasons only I would understand.

Best friends.

There's much trust when your best friend you've known all your life gets verified  on most social medias and has over 11.4 million fans, the best things is; he never forgets about me.

It's actually took me time to realize Jacob would be gone from home half the time. My mom and I go over sometimes to hangout, but Jacob would rarely be there, so my options were to hangout with Caroline or his cats.

My thoughts would usually take up space for those two options. He never went "Hollywood" on anyone, especially me. Jacob was the one to keep your secrets until he died, even then.

"Hi, Lori", I smiled as Jacob and I would do our daily dose of video chats while he was away and busy on tour. "Hey, Rolf. How's New York?", I said with an accent, he laughed which always seemed to faze me and cause this feelings which I hope was mutual. He mostly made me happy, but also made feel all the feels in just one simple word.

"It's cool, but I rather be back home with you and my mommy", I smiled, finishing my math homework. "After an hour of working on the last problem I got an answer and now I'm finished", he grinned clapping his hands, looking back as he waved to someone coming in his current hotel room.

"Lori, I have to go use the restroom, Hunter is here to keep you company", Jacob left my view when Hunter appeared smiling at me. "What?", I laughed as his smile got bubblier. "Hey, beautiful", I blushed as he chuckled at me. We talked back and forth before Jacob came with his flushed cheeks that looked the same from the day I first met him. His sweatshirt hoodie covering his messy brown hair.

"Jacob, what time is it?".

"11:11", he smiled as we both closed our eyes making a wish. "Hey, listen I have to go, but with all my heart I hope your wish comes true".

"Yeah me too", we said our final goodbyes as he ended the call and my wish was kept in my mind while words were written into a journal. This time it hadn't really a been a thought.

11:11 (New York time)

;At least we're under the same sky.
