HELLO AND GOODBYE

John's POV:

I was sitting at my desk drawing, it was pretty late but it was summer, so I had no idea who sleep was.
My phone lit up, I looked at it and unplugged it from the charger. It was on 96%

[Lexi <3]:Calling...

I looked at the name and almost threw my phone across the room
I've been friends with him for a good 4 years, but he hasn't really called or texted me since he went on his trip to France, Its been a good 3 months, I missed him and all but at the same time, I loved him so much that seeing him after all this time kinda made me freakout. I took a deep breath in and slowly it out trying calm myself down. I looked down at my phone. the call cancelled. I didn't pick up

...Fuck

I was going to just put my phone down thinking he wouldn't call me back, I thought he would text me or something and leave it at that. I didn't think much of it, after all it was summer, Alex left to france the day before the last of school. He was coming back the first day of school, and seeing as tho we have a good five or so weeks left, there is no way alex is coming home now, I mean sure there's a chance something happened he had to come back early but as far as I know, I don't think there is any reason for him to come back early, Right....RIGHT??

[Lexi <3]:Calling...

I answered it

"..."
WeLp-

"John ?"
help me!!!!

"H-hey Alex, what's up"
*INTERNALLY SCREAMING*

"Oh not much, we where just walking on the beach, and then I thought of turtles, and then thinking of turtles made think about you, and then I got all happy because now I had a reason to talk you"
I mean, I guess it has been a while, but if he did forget about me...

"You don't really need a reason to talk me"
but im glad you found one

"But if we had nothing to talk about, it would be really awkward because we wouldn't talk much"
In a way he was right, whenever we ran out of stuff talk about, even in person, we just kinda sit there, not that I don't mind, but it's been 3 months how has he NOT called me about anything yet

"Eh, I guess to a certain extent in a certain way that's tr- okay who am I kidding that's totally true no matter what"
I mean he had a point

"Look,I'm extremely sorry John"
He Sighed

"Wh- do you have to go or something, "
I asked, originally going to ask why but instead made a guess

"No but I guess I made you feel left out by... leaving you... out"
He had a since of guilt in his voice

"Its all good in the hood"
I myself cringed at how outdated that was. Alex on the other hand was laughing his ass off

"Who the hell even says that anymore!!"
He laughed

"I don't even know"
I chuckled
After a few moments Alex was able to breath again

"Johnny Jo-"

"Don't"
I cut him off, I heard that song to many times

"So you know where your going ?"
he asked

"Hm"?
Hm?

"For College, You do realize this is our last year right ?"
I cant believe I made it four years in high school

"Oh that, yeah duh of course I know where I want to go, OH also congratulation, I saw your post about your scholarship"
DID YOU REALLY THINK I DON'T FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER, DUH I FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER...and facebook,tumbler,instagram-OK POINT IS, I FOLLOW HIM

"Oh, thanks"

"..."

that awkward silence, yeah...fun

"...i missed you, i still do"
He spoke softly, real softly extremely softly, like almost ASMR soft

"Hey can you turn on your camera ?!"
he ask with a hint of a hopeful toon in his voice

"OOOOOOOF, I Don't have a front camera"
I yelled

"aw that makes me sad"
me too

Not to long after he said that I heard a voice in the background,  "Lex, remember the-" all I was able to hear before he muted himself and I sat alone awkwardly, and I was going to just hang up but he then unmuted

"John, I MAY, call you back, I have to go real quick"

"Alright, I guess I'll go, I'll see ya later"

[Call ended with, Lexi <3: 6 minutes, 9 seconds]

I sighed, I felt like the conversation only lasted like 1 minute, Long enough for us to say hello and goodbye.

Alexanders POV:

-5 minutes later-

I really did miss him, john was my first friend when I first moved to New York

~Flashback~

"Alex, you can work with umm, john"
Mrs. Washington pointed to the boy with freckles one green eye, one light blue and his curly light brown hair in a ponytail, I liked his hair in a pony tail. And he seemed really nice. I went and sat next to him

"Hi"
He looked at me gave a small smile

"Hi, Im Alexander, but some of my friends call me...well they call me a lot of things"

"I'm John my friends call me a lot of things to"

I smiled at him

~~~~~
I sighed I can't believe it's been four years since I've met him, what's even harder to believe is that it took fourteen years for me to meet him. I felt bad for not calling him. It makes me feel weak that I had to remember him to call him I don't want to forget about him he is my best friend after all. I Fell asleep trying to keep at least one thing in mind,to at the very least call John tommorw. It was the least I can do.
