Preference #08: You're best friends, you move away, you move back and realize you love each other
Calum :
Becoming an actress had always been your dream and once you got the call that you had gotten the role you'd been dreaming of, you couldn't wait to tell your best friend. When you told him, he was just as excited. "When do you start filming? Where do you film at?" that was when your smile faltered. "I start filming next week." "Where?" You looked down again. "United States." "For how long?" "Two months." you whisper and Calum looked absolutely heartbroken. "Have fun then will you?" You nod. "I will."
*Two Months Later*
You had just finished filming and instead of going to the after party to celebrate the completion of the film, you got yourself onto the next plane back to Australia. You needed to see your best friend again. You'd been apart from him for too long. "Calum?" you ask once your plane landed. "Yeah?" "Where are you?" "I'm at home why?" you smiled at his voice. "Well, I'm at the airport and I was wondering if you could come and pick me up." You heard him laugh and knew he was instantly smiling and on his way. "I'll be there in a heartbeat!" You hung up and waited for him to get there. Filming a romantic movie had you wanting some romance and the movie had it where two best friends finally realized their love for each other, and you instantly knew you wanted that with Calum, you just hoped that he wanted the same thing you did. He arrived a few minutes later and you giggled once he pulled you in for a hug. "I see that you missed me?" he nods and kisses you, full out. "Yeah, and I also love you! More than you know!" You were taken aback. "You love me?" He nodded. "Yeah, more than just a friend by the way." you giggle. "I figured that when you kissed me the way you did." Calum chuckled. "Be my girlfriend?" "Only if you'll be my boyfriend!"
Luke :
"Are you sure you have to go, (YN)?" Luke asked as he drove you to the airport. "Yes, Luke, I have to go, it won't be forever, it's just for a few weeks!" He groaned. "That's too long, why can't you just take the class here?" He pulled into a parking spot and you started to grab your bags. "Because, Luke, while i'm there, i also get to actually dance for a few major recitals, it's a big deal for me and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity!" He sighed but chose to stay quiet as you walked into the airport. You checked in quickly and got your bags all checked and ready to go, as you waited for your flight to be called, you began to tear up. "I don't want to leave you here alone, Luke, my best friend without me, just doesn't seem like the nice thing to do!" He nodded. "You're right, it's not the nice thing to do, but like you said earlier, it's just a few weeks, then we'll be best friends once again!" You smiled. "We'll always be best friends no matter what, Luke!" They called your flight then and you sighed as you kissed Luke on the cheek. "See you in a few weeks, Luke!" He waved as you walked down the terminal. "Love you, (YN)."
*6 weeks later*
As your flight landed you looked out the window and smiled at the familiar sight of home. You got off the plane and walked back through the terminal, you couldn't wait to tell Luke about your experiences in the States with your dancing recitals and all. You saw him instantly, he had the biggest award winning smile on his face. "Luke!" you screamed and he opened up his arms to let you jump into them. "I missed you!" you say and he nods. "Missed you more, (YN), I missed you way more!" "No way." you say shaking your head. "I missed you more." "Can I tell you something, (YN)?" you nod. "Anything." "While you were gone, actually before then, way before then, I realized I was in love with you, and I still am, I just didn't want to ruin our relationship as best friends, but with you being gone for as long as you were, I concluded that I didn't care anymore, I love you and I had to tell you the truth." You blushed. "You could've told me before, Luke, I wouldn't have minded, I love you just as much! More than best friends, I love you like a boyfriend!" "And I love you like a girlfriend, (YN)!"
Michael :
During high school you had gotten the amazing opportunity to be an exchange student, so while Michael stayed behind in Australia you went to the States to go to school for a year. It was an amazing year, but it just wasn't the same without your best friend. You missed him and you needed him. Yeah a lot of the people in the school were nice to you, but a lot of them also teased you because of your accent. It made you feel down and you could only skype Michael, but during your year over in the States, Michael also got an amazing opportunity to be in a band and go on tour, so skyping became increasingly difficult, which made it unbelievably harder to stay. The end of the year finally arrived and you headed back home. Your hometown in which seemed so happy and full of life with both you and Michael, now seemed like a complete downer with just you here, you wondered if Michael felt the same when you were gone. You sat on your front porch, with your guitar, just strumming your guitar absentmindedly as you looked at Michael's house, more like his room. Normally the lights were always on, but now, it was like a dark black hole. Even your guitar could not soothe you anymore.
*5 months later*
The days dragged on, and you could not get out of your depression. You needed your best friend back, you had a piece of your heart missing. Did you love him? Yes you did, you did love him. You brought your guitar back out and sat on your porch swing and started to play again, this time it sounded livelier, you closed your eyes to enjoy the sound some more, and only opened them when you felt a presence next to you. You opened them and gasped. "Michael?" He nodded. "Hey there, guess we both got our dreams." You nodded. "Yeah, but it wasn't much fun without my best friend." He nodded. "I could say the same, I missed you. And it made me realize something else." "What's that?" He put his guitar down and lowered yours at the same time. "I realized I was in love with my best friend and didn't like how far away she was from me and I wished she loved me the same." You blushed. "I love you too, Michael, I love you too."
Ashton :
Since birth you two were inseparable, that was until you guys got to middle school. During the middle of your first year there, your parents got divorced and you went to live with your mother in the states. The move was so fast, you never got to tell Ashton goodbye, you were told about the divorce before school one day and were on a plane to the states by noon. You were saddened, but there was nothing you could do with you only being 11 years old, you could only go and look back, wishing you could just say goodbye to Ashton.
*7 years later*
Now that you were 18 years old, you were now free to make your own decisions and the first decision you made was to move back to Australia to live with your father. You arrived on his doorstep and looked at the house next door and seeing a tall handsome boy around your age walking up to his own doorstep. He looked so familiar and that was when it hit you. "ASHTON!" you screamed out and the boy froze and looked at you. His eyes widening as they saw you. "(YN)?" You could only nod as the tears began to flow and he jumped off his porch and ran right for you and picked you up into a massive bone crushing hug. "(YN), god I've missed you! Where did you go?" You wiped a tear away. "I had to move to the states with my mom, I never got a chance to tell you goodbye though, I really wanted to, but I was on a plane there right after they told me about the divorce." Ashton nodded. "You're so gorgeous, (YN), that hasn't changed." You blushed. "And you're even more handsome." "Is it too soon to say that I love you? Because I really missed you and i really love you!" You blush and lean in for a kiss. "I love you too, Ashton, always have, and I always will."
