Nine years later......
Its already nine years and I'm already turning eighteen next month.
My life change since me and Tyler were separated.
I thought we would fulfill our promise, but we didn't.
Nine years ago my parents and I went to a different town for good.
•••Flashback •••
"Rosie I have something to tell you and I hope you can be considerate and understanding"
Tyler said."It's been already been one year of our friendship and almost becoming two years after five months and.... those past times we had together were the best, I really enjoyed." He said with a smile pasted on his face.
"And I noticed every time we're together time flies quickly but when we are apart time goes slowly, Rosie this one year of our friendship made me realized something and I-"
"There you are! I've been looking for you children" mom interrupted.
"Give us ten more minutes mom please, we have to play hide and seek...." I said and mom gave us the time.
"Ok fine but after ten minutes we have to go and better say your goodbyes alr-"
"Yeah yeah ten minutes ok just go we have to play" I said while not understanding what my mom meant.
"Ummm Rosie, do you know that I was hoping we could be more than just friends?" Tyler said.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"Uh... never mind, other time I'll tell you something" He said with a smirk on his face.
Then we played.
I was the hider and Tyler was the seeker.
But after five minutes my mom came and she said we have to leave for the trip.
I was shocked because I know nothing about it and it wasn't just trip we're moving for good to a new town.
"Mom you can't do this, how about Tyler I didn't even say goodbye to him and I think.......
umm,I like him mom!" I shouted then Tyler saw me."That's just infatuation baby, sooner or later it will be gone, we really have to go now or else we might get the night on the road." Mom said.
Then Tyler came closer to me and looked at me confused.
"Rosie are you leaving....... me?"Tyler said with a different tone.
"I'm sorry I have to...my parents worked for this and I can't just not mind it, I'm really sorry" I said while tears fall down on my cheek.
"I promise I'll look for you and we'll be more than just friends!" Tyler said through the window of my car.
"I'll be expecting that bye" I said.
Then the car moved and I saw Tyler running and shouting something and if I'm correct......."Rosie! I like you since the first day we've met!" did he just said that?
••• End of flashback•••
Well I've waited for him but still....nothing.
It's been freaking nine years already.
I was miserable and depressed when we parted.
But one girl comforted me from my new town.
She became my new best friend. She was nice,caring,considerate,funny and pretty. She was a perfect girl.
She tried to help me move on about Tyler, but I just can't.
The memories that we had can't be erase from my heart and mind, it became part of me that can't be taken away, that's when I realized, the further we are the more I liked him and became love.
I keep remembering what we did when we were young like doing our assignments together, eat together, talk together, laugh together, protects each other.
He was the first guy who ever stood up for me and cared for me.
If I would get sick he would go to my house with some delicious hot soup and watch over me....... and he was so sweet.
I'll never forget the day when it was my birthday he gave me a golden retriever and I named it Tyler.
Tyler, because I want to feel the presence of Tyler every time when he's not around and it's the symbol of our friendship and memories we had together.
I loved my dog Tyler, like the love I give to him.
•••Next Month•••
"Hey Katlyn! Tomorrow at the bar 9 o'clock, don't be late we have a surprise for" my friend Bella said.
Tomorrow is going to be my birthday we are going to celebrate at the bar but I won't drink I'll just party.
•••At the bar•••
"Bella can I take off now the blindfold?" I said.
"No not yet just a second." She replied.
"Ok take them off." Bella said
•_•
Something caught my eye and from afar I can see......
Him.I just want to cry so badly after I took of my blindfold.
After nine years, he finally showed up, I can still recognized him because I memorized all his features and he looks still the same but more handsome.
BUT.......
He's with a girl.
