the last time i saw my childhood friends, i was thirteen. i had a mouth full of metal braces and pimples on my faces. my hair always stuffed in a tight ponytail. i was ugly, but they were still my friends
i'm hoping they recognize me. i had a bit of a glow up. no more braces. no more pimples. no more ponytails. i learned around the age fifteen, that my hair was pretty when it was down with natural waves throughout it.
anyways, i'm visiting home and my mom told me that quote 'the hot neighbor boys were home'
so i guess they are going to see me after seven years cause i'm at their doorstep and i just knocked
oh god, maybe i shouldn't-
mrs. dolan opens the door, a smile appearing on her face shortly after "y/n, how lovely it is to see you again. it's been a while. please come in"
"thank you mrs. dolan. your house looks as lovely as ever"
"thank you dear. the boys should be here shortly. i told them that you were also in town and they were really excited to see you again"
i smile widely "i'm excited to see them again too"
i sit on the couch and wait for them to come home. i nervously play with my fingers, wondering if ethan has a girlfriend now. we were kind of a thing back when we were thirteen, but i'm sure he has a girlfriend even though i don't have a boyfriend.
*flashback*
"you can't leave now" ethan says
"i have to" i whisper, looking down "it's not that i want to. you're one of my best friends"
"you don't get it, do you?" he says looking at me
i shake me head, now confused
"i have a giant crush on you"
i smile widely and blush "well that's good because i have a crush on you"
*end of flashback*
i follow them on instagram and twitter and i watch their videos
they are still funny and down to earth.
i even watch their first few videos where i'm in them and i wish that i was back with them.
to me, home is a person or several people that make you feel comfortable and care for you, not a place. and they were my home
"where's y/n? is she here yet?" i hear a voice ask
"oh my gosh ethan cool it. she's all you've been talking about for the whole car ride" a deeper voice says
"dad, she's all he's been talking about for the past seven years" a voice says
"she's in the living room and can probably hear this entire conversation" lisa says
i laugh and catch their attention
a bunch of footstep run over to me as i stand up and prepare myself for the hugs
both ethan and grayson hug me tightly as i hug them back
when they pull away, they take a good look at me and take in my new appearance that i've achieved over the past seven years
"you look amazing, y/n" gray says with a giant smile on his face
i smile "thank you gray. you look amazing as well"
"you look beautiful" ethan mumbles
"dude, say it louder. you've been pining over this girl for seven years. make a move" gray pushes
ethan nods and looks at me "you look beautiful"
i blush and smile "thank you ethan. you look handsome as always"
he smiles and blushes
i kiss ethan's cheek and whisper "i still have a giant crush on you"
he smiles and whispers "well that's good because i still have a crush on you"
i lean in, as does he and we kiss
we kiss like we've been kissing each other for the past seven years
we kiss the seven years away and i hope we don't have to wait seven more
