Lost Then Found

Lost Then Found (20)

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sammie!"

"Bennie it's 4:30 in the morning. Why are up so late?"

"Cause boo I been dranking, I been dranking.."

"What?! Where are you?!"

"Outside of your house. You know, you oughta mosey on down those clicky clacky thingys and open the portal thingy so I can come in."

*He hung up*

I went downstairs and opened the door just to see him leaning on the frame with a big grin on his face and a bottle of Christian Brothers in his hand.

"Boo!!" He fell on me in an attempt of a hug. "Yo where the kitchen at, I gotta pee?!"

"Shhh!! Everyone's asleep!" I whispered. My mom and Lucas were in their room down the hall and I didn't want to wake them.

I walked him up the stairs to my room as he made weird noises and slurred his made up words. When we got into my room he called my name.

"I'm still here."

"Oh there you are!! I was looking for you! I finally found out why I can't get over Alysha!!"

"And why is it that you-"

I can't believe it! He kissed me!! He pulled me in and locked lips with me. My bestfriend for over 17 years, just kissed me! And I hadn't pulled away yet! I fell into that kiss like it was the only thing I knew to do. I, I don't know how to explain it. It felt warm and right. Like everything in the world is just right and peaceful.

"Because of you Samantha, I can't get over Alysha, because I can't have you."

"You don't mean that, you're just drunk."

"No I do mean it. Because I'm drunk. A drunk man tells no lies. And since I am totally drunk right now I'm gonna be totally honest with you dude. Samantha Slone, I am completely, entirely, unconditionally in love with you. And I have always been."

I can't believe what I'm hearing right now. He told me that he is in love with me. Not that he loves me, those are two different things. He said that he's in love with me. How did I not know this all along?! He's been with me through everything. From many break-ups, fights with my mom, to my dad's death. He knows me better than I know myself. He's always there when I need him. So why am I now just realizing this?!

"Earth to Sammie."

I grabbed the Christian Brothers bottle out of his hand and took it to the head. Yeah, I drink. But I never gotten drunk before. I finished the bottle. Boy did that burn my throat.

"Heyy that was my-"

I kissed him. I can't believe it! I don't know if its the liquor or really me but either way it felt so good! And now that I think of it, it was bound to happen. Oh my lord I'm in love with my bestfriend. I'm in love with my bestfriend.
