I was in my front yard playing with my 18 year old brother, Aiden when my best friend, Zavier, who has been my neighbor since we were born came up to me.
“Hi Alex” my 4 year old best friend greeted me.
“Hi Zavier” my 3 year old self responed.
“So I welly wike wou... will wou be my giwlfwiend?” he asked me, looking really nervous.
“Zav, I welly wike wou too, I would wove too.” I told him smiling. He walked closer to me and hugged me.
When we pulled away we were so close. I had no clue what he was doing when he leaned in and kissed me on the lips for a second. We pulled away and he locked hands with me.
We played in my front yard for about an hour. We played tag, freeze dance, leap frog ect. When his mom came out to get him. “Come on Zavier we have a family meeting. Hi Alex, im sorry but I have to take him” she told me and looked really sorry.
“It ok, Mrs. Knight. Bye Zavier see wou tomorrow.” I waved at them as they walked into their house. I walked into my house and looked at the time, it was 5:30pm and I was tired. I walked up to my 6 others, Aiden and Aaron who are twins, 18 years old Haiden and Harrison who are 12. Also Ryan and Ross who were 5.
“Bwig me bed.” I told them, they all looked at me and smiled, but it was Aiden that got up and picked me up so he could put me in my bed. Once we got to my room he placed me in my bed and tucked me in. My mom died when I was 2, so my dad has to get a few jobs so we never see him. Once I hit the pillow, I fell asleep.
I woke up to Aiden shaking me, saying “Al, come on wake up. We need to get you ready for school.” I looked at him, got out of bed and went to the bathroom to do things. When I was done I walked out into my bedroom where Aiden was waiting. He helped me get dressed.
We walked downstairs, well he walked while carrying me. He sat me down on one of the chairs and gave me my breakfast. When Aiden, Aaron and I were done we got into Aidens car so he could drive me to school.
I got to my classroom and I looked for Zavier but he wasnt there. I thought 'ok, hes going to be late.' but as the day went he wasnt there and he never misses school.
It was finally the end of the day, Aiden and Aaron were already there waiting for me. I got into the car and told them “Zav not in school.” They both looked at each other and then back at me before replying at the same time, “Im sorry Alex, Zavier had to move. His dad got a better job offer in New York.” I looked at them and started crying. They moved from California to New York, my best friend.
