her summer was dreary

and filled with online physics

until the past weekend.

she got to see her best friend,

Rosie,

who she hadn't seen

in over five years,

since she had moved away 

after fifth grade.

Rosie had been

her best friend 

since kindergarten;

she was more like a sister

than a friend.

and everything in life was alright again

for the three short days 

that she got to see her for.

The six hour car ride 

to get to Rosie 

couldn't go by fast enough;

she had been looking forward

to this particular weekend

for weeks now.

When they pulled up,

and she saw Rosie,

she all but trampled her sister

to get out of the car.

Both she and Rosie squealed,

ran towards each other,

and hugged.

it was like the world finally made sense again

and she didn't feel so empty anymore

tears dripped down her cheeks,

but for once,

they weren't of sadness or loneliness-

they were of joy.

she couldn't believe 

that she was finally

finally

seeing her best friend again.

it was like nothing had changed;

it didn't feel like five years had gone by

without seeing each other in person;

it was like she had never left.

* * * 

it felt so normal

to be sitting next to Rosie.

they jammed out in the car

for the rest of the drive to her grandparents house,

and they joked around like it was an every day thing.

when they got to her grandparents house,

they immediately went to the room they were staying in

and talked about everything and nothing.

they woke up extra early in the morning

the next day
