The moon didnt show tonight just the stars light the sky in its place. My tearing eyes stared out my window, gazing into the night sky as if it was telling a story. I sat cross legged and thought about life, i looked down at my flat stomach and hovered my hands over it.. "this is real" i whispered to myself
-Months Before-
ZOE'S P.O.V
"ALFIE!" I squealed as he grabbed me, we both slipped and i fell to the floor giggling as he landed on top of me, we were both out of breath from running but he smiled at me and i couldnt help but stare into his frappachino like eyes. They swirled towards me making me mesmorized into them. I felt like I could be here forever, but when I heard a voice yell "EW GET A ROOM!" Alfie sprung up and so did I ruining the moment, then seeing the voice was joe I just rolled my eyes, he came closer to us laughing "What was that little pause?" i crossed my arms at him and snapped "nothing! we were just running and fell!" Joe smirked at us "well its half past noon, lets go pick up Julie" I nearly jumped out of my skin when i heard him say that, Julie was Joe and I's childhood friend but she had to move away when we were 21, now were 23 and im so excited to see her, as she's my bestfriend!
We pulled up to a side road, peering out the windows for a blonde girl maybe a little chubby? last time i saw her she was a little bit overweight and had blonde short hair cut to her shoulders. We sat there in which seemed like forever, when finally a rather skinny figure with blonde hair that strung to her waist showed up, she stood in the pouring rain with her arms crossed looking around like she was lost, I rolled the window down and yelled "Julie!?" she shot her head toward the car and ran to it jumping in the front seat.
we drove off getting away from the sketchy area as fast as possible when Julie turned around to face me and Alfie who were sitting in the back seats, she smiled a bright smile at us and her chrystal blue eyes were piercing. she squealed "Zoe! ive missed you so much!" i smiled "me too! i cant wait to get out of this car to squeeze you!" i said grabbing her arm and shaking it a bit. she giggled and looked at Alfie "Hello, i'm Julie!" she sang "Hey, ive heard lots about you! im Alfie, Zoes boyfriend" he smirked and so did Julie she turned back around to face Joe, who was driving "joey! when will we be there i need to hug you!" she nearly yellled and joe just laughed i looked at Joe trying to read him, i knew Joe had grew feelings for her before she moved but she turned him down several times saying hes more of a little brother and i could see joe was trying hard to not fall for her again. we pulled up to the drive way.
Joe's P.O.V
I stopped the car and before I could get out Julie reached over to hug me, she wrapped her arms around my neck almost choking me, her hair was soaked from the rain but it smelt like fruits, she let go and i looked at her eyes which almost pierced my soul with the color, her face was drenched in tears looking at me "ive missed you guys so much!" i smiled and wiped the tears off her face "we did too, now lets get inside and clean you up!" we sprintined out of the car to the house, Zoe and Alfie were already inside so the second we walked in Zoe ran hugging Julie almost makeing her fall over. "Look at you Julie! your so thin" zoe said having Julie do a little turn for her "i know i went on a diet!" Julie sang. "Julie you really do look a lot different!" i said. Julie laughed "thank you! im going to take that as a compliment"
it was 9pm so Alfie made his way home and we planned on having a fun night together i was sitting on the couch waiting for the girls to come down in their pajamas because they insisted on having them on. I thought about 2 years ago how i had loved Julie so much and how she turned me down for some rugby dude! i grew a bit angry just by the thought. I heard some giggles and noises coming closer so i shot my head toward the stairs to see them coming down my eyes immiditely looked at Julie she had little pajama shorts on and a tank top that made her look so fit, she was truely beautiful. They both ran and sat down next to me turning the tv on and inserting a chick flick.
The movie was over and Zoe was already passed out asleep. I looked over at Julie who was still up, she looked over at me smiling but her eyes struck me once again they read pain but sang beauty i couldnt read her she was so mysterious. i whispered toward her trying not to wake Zoe up "would you like something to drink?" she jumped up giving a little dance "alcohol!" she sang. we opened some bottles of beer and just talked till i no longer knew how many hours passed, she started to get a little drunk and i think i was getting a bit buzzed, so i took the drinks away. "shall we get to sleep?" i asked her in a chuckle but she just stood up and sat in my lap wrapping her legs around me "Joe you're so nice" she said staring me right in my eyes, our faces were inches away and i just looked at her eyes they were so beautiful, but so much pain stirred in them i could'nt put my finger on it. We stood there like that, her eyes started to water and she was biting her lip turning her face down. I lifted her chin up until her eyes were looking into mine again and soon our lips molded together.. at that moment i wasnt kissing my childhood friend, i was kissing just a girl, a girl who i've loved for what seems like forever.
