the price of love

        "OH MY GOSH SKAI IS THAT YOU" I heard as I walked out of the mall.  I turned around and as soon as I saw miyan it was like one of those scenes in movies and we started running towards each other.  We collided and she squeezed me so hard I couldn't breath.

       Oh  sorry I should probably introduce myself.  My name is skai'liyah ariel simmons and im 16 years old.  Miyan is -I mean was -my best friend.   We'd known each other since we were 7 and I started going to her school, unfortunately when I was 14 I had to move to miami and hadn't seen her since.

         Now I was back in town for my mothers funeral and here she was.  "What the hell are you doin here girl" she asked as she released me.  "ugh loong story" I replied.  " Well are you busy now" she didnt wait for an answer, whisked me to a bench, and pulled me down next to her.  "well start telling it" she exclaimed. 

        I laughed and began my long story about how my mom died from cancer and wanted to be buried in her home town and how as soon as she was six feet under I'd be put into a foster home because I had no where else to go.

        When I was finished with my sob story she sat back and said nonchalantly " oh dont be ridiculous you can stay with me".  "um I dont mean to sound like a bitch but the last time I checked your parents were divorced and you were basically raising yourself" I said.  "yeahhh and now i can raise you too" she grinned putting her hand on my arm "and besides, jason will be sooo happy. And We both started laughing hysterically.
