For Jonna & The Scooby Gang
The smell of pizza, booze and weed dancing through my nostrils.
The laughs, music and clanging of people stumbling over their feet mesh together creating a beautiful melody.
The night fades, as the last of us stand in the garage, joking and loving and living.
Living.
I had never lived until this night, not like this.
This was the kind of living that makes you pause for a moment and look around, listen to the world, and smile to yourself knowing you'll remember this for the rest of your life.
As we snuck through the night giggling and falling over each other, we became like one.
Two boys. Three Girls. One group of fucked up teens finally feeling alive.
Falling asleep to the thought of my new found family, drifting into the clouds. Waking to coffee, cigarettes and kind eyes.
My best friend. She's opened her house to us. She's opened her heart to me.
My friends. Sitting in the back of a truck, feeling the wind on our face, sliding as the driver speeds and turns throwing us into a fit of giggles.
I am living.
living.
Thank you, my friends.
You brought me to life.
