Forget

Buddies

My dad left us because he doesn't love us anymore.

I don't want to believe that but reality is telling me to do so.

My mom loved him. I loved him. We still do. But still he left us.

My dad and I used to be buddies. Well we used to be. I am trying to forget him the way he had forgotten us. I'll get him out of my system. I know I can. Maybe not now but I know I'll get rid of him soon. I am bitter about it but you can't blame me.

I was a geek back then so I never really had many friends. Not until I met him-Ashton. He became my instant bestfriend. I was happy their family moved into the town and boom---he saw me.

"Can you just please tour me around now? I've been asking you for days but you don't want too. This is all I ask. Please gem." It's true. I laugh thinking about it. He keeps nagging me over and over again. Maybe its time that I'll give him the chance.

He stared at me intently, eyes seeking for approval. His lips crept into a smile. His dimples were showing making him look cute. I giggled and it made him wonder.

"Is that a yes then?" His cheeky smile turns big.

"Mhhm"

"Yehey!" He hugs me abruptly. I was totally stunned. Even if we're only together for days, I feel safe with him around me. I feel secured.

I brought him to the mall, to the flower garden, and now we are at the fair.

"Thank you, Gem." He stated while looking at the lovely view of the city. We are riding the ferris wheel.

"No. Thank you, Ash. Thank you for being there for me. Thanks for everything. Thank yo-"

"Of course. I am your friend." I felt my heart sink. I don't know why. I smiled. It was fake. What the hell is happening with me?
