"Let's be best friends forever!"

"Yeah!"

"I pinky promise that I'll be your best friend forever Hayley"

"And I pinky promise that I'll be your best friend forever Finlay"

When I was 7 years old my best friend and I made a promise to be best friends forever. Sadly forever wasn't that long because two months after making that promise I moved to London for my dad's job. I cried so much when I found out I didn't know how to tell Finlay so I just left a note saying sorry and goodbye. I regret not saying it in person, I can't imagine how bad I made him feel...

Today I'm moving back to Govan because my Mum and Dad spilt, after he slapped her on one of his many drunk sailor moments.

A manicured hand started waving in my face.
"Wakey wakey, I can't believe you're 17! My baby is so big!" She practically fangirls while wrapping one arm around me while the other one is on the wheel driving.

"Mum!" I yell pushing her off me.

"What?"

"It's not that big of a deal...it's just one more year closer to death"

"Darling you sound so emo"

"Thank you"
