We Are Meant To Be

What happens next?

I love the weekends. Beam stays with me the entire time. His parents are pretty understanding about it. My parents are divorced and my dad is always at work. He's a surgeon, a really good one so he practically lives at the hospital. We make sure to have dinner weekly but other than that I'm alone, except for Beam and Kit. Of course that means Forth too since they're dating.

I like Forth I really do but it changed our dynamic when he and Kit got together. Of course I'm thrilled for Kit he's been in love with Forth for as long as I can remember, which is how long I've been in love with Beam.

I met them when we started school and they accepted me immediately. They were so alike back then. My parents were still together at the time so that was the time of my life when I felt like I had everything. I was happy at home, I was doing well at school, and I had two great friends. My life was perfect.

Fast forward to middle school and that changed. My parents fought whenever my dad was home. My mom started drinking although I think she thought I didn't know. My home life was crumbling. I hated being at home so I started spending more time at Beam's and Kit's.

Kit was going through his own drama as Forth had started not hanging around with us anymore. He was heartbroken because he was so in love with him. Horrible to say, it was a great distraction for me. I focused on my friend to forget about my parents.

Things went from bad to worse our second year of middle school. My parents were getting divorced. My mom wanted to move to the United States and I was supposed to go with her. How was I supposed to tell them? How would I tell Beam?

I started acting out, I skipped school and I started drinking too. Hey she's the one who brought the liquor into the house. They came to the house and I was already buzzed at the time. They didn't even ask to come in they just did.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Kit attacked right away.

"Where the hell have you been?" Beam screeched after him.

"We've been worried out of our minds..." Kit throws in.

"And you're here drinking acting like an asshole..." Beam says angrily.

"Instead of coming to us and letting us help you..." Kit shouts just as angry.

"Does our friendship mean nothing to you? Beam says almost sounding sad now. 

"You can't come to us for help? Kit asks mimicking Beam's voice.

"Is that what we mean to you? Beam finished their rant.

Sometimes they're so in sync that they alternate speaking. It can be freaky but I'm used to it. I looked and both were crying right. I walk to my room and they followed me. Kit threw open the blinds and opened the windows.

"God it reeks in here." Beam said.

"What's going on Pha? Please don't push us away. I, I can't take it." Kit said hanging his head.

I walked over and hugged my friend. Might as well rip off the band aid right.

"My parents are getting divorced and I'm moving to the U.S." I finished.

They stared at me mouths hanging open, their faces clearly confused.

"What? No." Beam whispered out.

Kit wrapped his arms around him and Beam buried his face into Kit. His shoulders were shaking I guess from crying.

"Why can't we be happy Kit? Why are we being left behind?" Beam asked Kit, tears streaming down his face.
