Best Friend Returns
Climbing out of bed, I stepped on the carpet and slipped into my bunny slippers. I woke up, yet another day and the best thing is it's the first day of summer vacation. I breathed deeply when I saw a picture of my best friend. I haven't seen him for about two years. My parents never liked us being friends because of our race but we ignored it. But until my mom just went off and told him she forbids us not to be friends anymore and tells him to move away and he does. That was the last thing I heard but I heard that he is very popular were he is. I stared at the picture for a while then I went to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and took a good hour bath. After stepped out the shower, I hear my mom calling me. I went in my room and threw on my Hollister t-shirt and jeans and went downstairs. I saw her cooking and saw my dad sitting at the dining table sipping on coffee. I haven't talk to my parents after what they did and I don't care if it is disrespectful, they shouldn't never did that to me.
"Good morning, Diamonique." "I prefer Diamond, if you don't mind." "But your name is unique." "Unique? Really? What kind of name is Diamonique? That is like the most ghettoest names of all time." "Honey, come on, it a cute name." "Whatever, why did you call me?" "Oh, that boy called you." "What boy?" "Never mind, he's not important." "He has to if you called me." "Never mind, honey. Want some breakfast?" "No thanks. I think I'm go for a walk." "Okay, be careful." "Yeah, whatever." "Diamonique, stop disrespecting your mother." "Yeah, whatever."
I went up the stairs and closed my room door. I hopped on my bed and just wonder who was she talking about. Could she be talking about Jacob? I knew that was out the picture because she would never talk to him or was it Xavier? Who cares though? My best friend is not coming back and I will always be disappointed because I can't see him. I put on my Jordan's and grabbed my phone and went downstairs. I looked at my parents as they were watching TV and they didn't know I had left. I closed the door and turned around to see if they would notice but neither came to the door. I shut a tear but then I had a smile on my face. I been getting these texts from this unknown contact and it seems like they know but I don't know them. Texting away, I realized that I was in the park. I sat on a bench and saw how the kids ran around, laughing and playing. The unknown contact texted me said that we were going to meet today so I know who he was. I was so excited but at the same time I was nervous. I sat there waiting for him to at least text me or something. After a good hour, I felt hands go around my eyes and I couldn't get them off. After struggling, I was finally able to see and when I turned around I was about to punch the person but I couldn't and I wouldn't.....it was my best friend. At first, I stood there, in complete shock then tears started coming and I just hugged him.
"Damn girl, it hasn't been that long, has it?" he said hugging me back. "It's been way too long, Jacob. Too long." I said hugging him tighter. I finally released and couldn't believe he was here. "So, you haven't change a bit, have you?" he said looking me up and down. "Actually, I have changed. I used to be a 36C now I'm in DoubleDs." "I can see and I see you got thicker too." "Well, new hair color, huh?" "Yeah, since I moved, I changed everything, I even changed my clothes." "Why? You looked good to me." I said looking confused. "Well, I thought a new me is a good thing but in California, they don't care." "Well, our we going to stand here all day or can we walk around and get these two years back?" I said being tired of standing. "Okay. Let's go, baby."
He said and grabbed my hand. I still couldn't believe he was here, it was like I was imagining it. We talked for hours but it only was 30 minutes but still it was great talking to him.
"So, I have a question for you Mr. Wilson." "Go ahead." he said putting his arm around me. "So, was it you texting me for two years?" "What are you talking about?" he said sounding confused. "The messages." I looked at him and he face turned in a smirk. "Oh, those messages." "Yeah, those messages." He laughed and I looked at him with an angry face. "What's so funny?" "Diamond, I was sending them just to make you happy." "Okay, how is it funny?" "Cause you thought you were going meeting a cute boy here, didn't you?" I looked at him but in my mind, he was speaking the truth but I didn't say anything. "So, I heard you're like famous do there." "Yeah, for my videos." "Well, what videos do you posted?" "Nothing special. Just me doing random things." "Oh, so, are you down here for good?" "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" "I don't know. But, I should be heading back home." "Okay, I'll walk you back."
He grabbed my hand and we walked very slow. I never thought he would ever come back because what happened but he said he came back for me.
Diamonique/ Diamond POV
Wow, my best friend is actually cute in his outfit. I never knew how cute my best friend was. When I got home, the front door swung open and I saw how my father ran outside and grabbed my hand. He yanked Jacob's off of me and basically dragged me in the house. I felt embarrassed that my parents are still acting like that. He slammed the door and I ran upstairs. "Diamonique Alicia Brown, get your ass back down here!" I ignored him and just sat in my room crying. I could hear footsteps coming so, I quickly got up and locked my door. "Diamonique, open this door!" He kept turning the doorknob, thinking he was going get in. "I'm not talking to you anymore. Get away from my door!" He began to bang the door then he just gave up. I sat there on the floor just crying my eyes out, just thinking about Jacob. I wonder if he's okay?
Jacob's POV
After Diamond's dad snatch my arm off her, I stood there for a while and just started walking home. While walking, I began to get a text from my mom and Diamond. I looked at my mom's text and she was telling me to hurry home and Diamond's text said: I'm so sorry for my dad, he is still like he was two years ago. So, you wanna hang out tomorrow? Call me, okay? -Love Diamond. I never knew how her parents didn't like us but they need to get over it cause I'm leaving no time soon. But, the good thing was I hung out with my sexy, ass best friend. Man, I can't keep acting like I don't cause she she going find out sooner or later. Just better stick to my videos.
