Grenade

Chapter Six.

He came back all this way for me.Couldn't be but I knew these days needed to be cherished and I couldn't think of a better person to spend them with.We had been curled up on the sofa for about an hour watching Disney films and occasionally annoying each other by talking to much.

He was more like family than a friend to me. Its going to break my heart when its all over , never seeing him again.He was the one person that kept me going when all of this was happening to me.

A small tear rolled down my cheek at the thought of it all.

"Hey , Awwh , don't cry" he said pulling me into a warm hug and using his thumb to wipe it away.

"Thanks" I said to him.

"What for giving you a hug?" He said sounding confused.

"No" Another tear rolled down my cheek. "For being my best friend because without you I would of probably died by now but you came back and I'm so grateful for that."By now I was crying properly without control and I think he was about to as well.He ran his hand through his black and white hair and smiled at the same time.At least all this was happening to me because if this happened to Michael I wouldn't be able to live without him.

"Come on." He said standing up and helping me up by my hands.We walked outside and sat out under the stars on the bench where we sat before and stayed there talking for the rest of the night before it started getting cold.We laughed so much and its hard to think that an 18 year friendship would end sooner rather than later.

Before I knew it , it was 2 in the morning and unfortunately my mum had noticed we were both still out here.

"Come back tomorrow?" I questioned and stated not really giving him much choice.He smiled and nodded as he got into his car and drove off down the long dirt lane with tree's dotted around the path next to it.

I walked back inside slowly, thinking about today and everything that had happened , I climbed up the stairs and flopped into bed in the leggings and t-shirt I was wearing. Before I started to fall asleep.
