Pinky Promise

This one is special to me so I hope you love it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Falling in love is great they say.

And they were right, falling in love is something beautiful, especially when two people fall in love with each other. It's something magical.

The excitment of finding out the other has the same feelings for you that you have for them, the first real meaningful conversation between you two, the first hug, the first time holding hands and the first kiss.

Yeah, I was dying when Kirstie told me you were in love with me. I was so excited and she had to try to calm me down for 30 minutes because I couldn't believe it. I was a crying mess that was filled with joy.

And when I approached you the next day my heart was beating so fast I thought I would die right there. But that's the day it started. I started hanging out with you and your two friends, Kevin and Avi. And even though though Kevin was, and is still, the purest and most innocent person I know we hung out at that park every friday, playing drinking games and doing the weirdest shit we could think of doing. We were only 16. Thank god we had Kevin or we might have died without him taking care of us.

I can remember everything Avi said to us. "Come on, we all know you two love each other." or "I'll kill one of you if you don't make a move soon" or "Even Kevin sees it and he didn't need alcohol to do so." Drunk Avi was the definition of bluntness.

And I can remember how we both ignored his comments. We just laughed them off everytime. Until one day he threw a simple sentence at us. "Kiss already, it literally hurts to watch you two." I thought we would kiss right then. I was panicking like crazy. I remember how you noticed that and made Avi shut up. I was sad then, I didn't want to miss the chance of kissing you. I looked at Avi to signal him that something was about to happen and held up my pinky towards you. "We'll kiss sometime, pinky promise." Avi started laughing and Kevin shut him up, but you moved towards me and linked our pinkies together. "Pinky Promise." That's what stuck with me the entire rest of that night, I could only think about that promise, even when we had to carry a drunk Avi home.

I had to skip  the friday after that. It was a family dinner and I could feel your disapointment through the phone speaker. You were just as sad as I was that we couldn't  hang out that night.

Kirstie freaked out when I told her about the pinky promise. She was fangirling like crazy and I had to remind her multiple times that we haven't actually kissed yet. "Then tell me when you do. I would bet on your alien cat thing that you'll be Mitch Grassi-Hoying in a few years." I was so overwhelmed by her in that moment. "That Alien cat thing is called Wyatt and he's a Sphynx Cat." That's all I managed to answer. I couldn't even respond to her calling me your future husband. It didn't leave my mind though, Mitch and Scott Grassi-Hoying, it did sound cute.

It was later that week, on that Friday night when it all lost control. It was well after 12pm, Avi and Kevin had already went home and we were sitting on that little bench in that little park near my house. I was sitting on your lap, facing you, and we talked about everything that happened that night. How Avi almost fell into the little river stream and how Kevin spoke to Avi in Chinese, just to annoy him. And you told me that stupid joke over and over. "How do crazy people go through the forest? They take the psycho path." And as much as I hated that joke, your laugh always made me laugh at it too.

It was 1am at that point and I suggested we go home. I wanted to stand up right then, but you held me down. I was confused at first but your words explained it all. "When will I get my kiss, Mitchy?" you asked. I loved it when you called me Mitchy. You were holding up your hand, pointing pinky finger, waiting for me to link in and kiss you. I hesitated for a moment, I was so nervous. But I got over it, linked my pinky with yours and leaned in to kiss you. Not gonna lie, I almost exploded right then. That was our first kiss.

I was so nervous, but I was so happy at the same time. After the kiss you brought me home. we were standing in front of my door and you kissed me again. I wasn't fully aware of what wa happening, but when you asked me to be your boyfriend I suddenly knew it all. I said yes.

That night had changed my life completely.

I immediatley told Kirtstie, and even though we didn't want to tell Avi and Kev right away they somehow still knew the next day.

That first kiss had such an important impact on my life. But for every first time, there's a last time too.

You made me the happiest I've ever been. I spent 5 years with you. These five years were the best things that ever happened to me. You proposed to me when we turned 20 and we had fully planned our wedding half a year later. I was so excited for that day to come. My heart was beating faster and faster everyday. Yours was too, but your heart wasn't strong enough for all that force.

Three days after your 21st birthday you got admittet into the hospitel. You had a heart attack. I've never been so scared in my entire life before. You were the love of my life and you were dying.

The doctors found a huge tumor which was surrounding almost your entire heart. You were in the hospital for two months and I never left your side during that time. I stayed with you everyday, had multiple fights with the staff because they said I couldn't sleep in your room that night, but I won everytime.

We had so many important converations during those two months, we cried more than ever before in our lives, but we also laughed a lot. I wanted to make you happy for as long as I possibly could. I tried so hard.

One night, whem you felt like you were about to die you told me something. You wanted me to promise that if you died, I would move on with my life. You didn't want me to stop living just because you did. You said that was your last wish. And you made me promise to fulfill that wish. You made me pinky promise. And I did. We linked our fingers just like we did when we were 16. this time you leaned in. You kissed me and I was having the biggest Déjà-vu ever. "Pinky Promise?" you asked. I couldn't speak, instead I just nodded. "Pinky Promise."

That was the last kiss I got to share with you.

Because that night, your heart monitor went silent. You died.

I has been two years since that night. I've tried to move on, really. I've spent a lot of time with Avi, Kevin and Kirstie. Avi has stopped drinking any alcohol. He never had a problem, it never got out of hand but he feels so guilty and the drinks reminded him too much of our friday nights. Kevin was the one that built him up again. They moved together, they've become the best of friends. A year ago I joined them. I was with my family before.

Kirstie is married now. She fell in love with this guy called Jeremy. He takes good care of her. They remind me of us a little. Kirstie is helping me to move on. She cheers me up a lot.

Today I found the strenght to let go. I want to move on, make you happy, fulfill your wish.

So today I'm writing this. I will send this letter into the sky. Tie it to a little balloon, hoping it will reach you up in heaven.

Today I'm letting go of the past. But I'm not forgetting it.

I could never forget you. I could never Forget Scott Hoying, the man that lived through the best years of my life with me.

I love you. I will always love you.

Love always, your Mitchy
