(They're 10 now)
Maggie's POV
Ever since the first day of kindergarten and finding out he's my neighbor, we've been best friends.
We hang out everyday after school and our parents are good friends also.
Today is Friday and Daniel and I just finished supper at his house.
"Thank you" I say to his mom and dad
"Thank you for coming" Daniels mom says
"It's always a pleasure" His dad says
I smile at them then Daniel grabs my hand.
"We need to go to the bench" He says leading me out the door.
"Oh right" I say running to the end of his driveway.
I look up at the sky and see the stars coming into view.
"This is so beautiful" I say I awe. I've always liked stars. Ever since I was little. We walk over and sit on the park bench across from our houses.
This was were we would sit and talk about how we feel. We only sat here on Friday nights to talk about this stuff. It was our thing.
"Maggie" Daniel says turning towards me.
"Yes" I say looking into his bright blue eyes.
"What happens if we forget about each other in the future. What'll we do if we break our promise?" My 10 year old best friend Daniel seavey says.
"Then we'll fix it in another life" I tell him leaning my head on his shoulder.
"I will never ever forget about you Maggie Nicole lawson" Daniel assures me squeezing my hamd.
"I hope I'm never forgotten" I tell him.
**5 days later**
I sit on the curb across from my house. My head is hidden in my knees. I started crying. My stupid bully Megan ripped my new clothes and hit me on the arm
She always laughs at me at school.
"Maggie!What's wrong" Someone says sitting next to me. I look up and see my best friend Daniel.
"Megan hit me." I say crying, he rubs the red mark on my arm.
"She ripped my new clothes" I say crying and show him the holes.
"Don't worry Maggie" He says wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
I lay my head on his shoulder wiping away the tears.
"If I hold you, we're bulletproof" He says rubbing my back
"Never forget that" He says
We sit there I scilence until the sun started setting. Gosh, I'm lucky to have him in my life.
