The one that got away

Chapter 1

"Do you remember the first time we met?" I smiled. His eyes looked at me with so much love.

"Of course I do, I remember it as if it was just yesterday" my grip on his hand tightened.

I remember my mom came home one day with a little boy my age. She was babysitting him for a friend who had to go out of town.

"You were all over me" I lightly slapped his chest.

"The lies you tell, that's not what happened" we both stuck our tongues out at each other.

I remember that day as if it was just yesterday.

~flash back~

"Emma honey come here, there's someone I want you to meet". My mom yelled from downstairs. I came running inside, not looking were I was going and to my luck I ended up slipping and falling on my butt.

"Are you okay?" I looked up and saw a boy my age looking at me. We stared at each other for a while until I quickly got up and hid behind the couch.

I stuck my head from the side "Mommy who's that" my mom laughed and walked up to him.

"Emma this is Connor, he will be staying with us for the weekend wile his mommy and daddy are away" I started playing with my hands.

"Um h-hi Connor" I was really shy, that's why I didn't really have friends.

"Hello" he smiled and walked up to me. "wanna play with me" no one had ever asked me if I wanted to play. I smiled really big and nodded. Walking out from behind the couch, I stood in front of him.

He had a little dimple but only on one cheek.

Me being the weirdo I am poked it.

Connor looked surprised for a second and then just laughed.

"Why don't you show Connor the backyard and I'll make some snacks" my mom offered. "Okay mommy" I grabbed Connors hand and led him outside.

"Let's play on the swings!" Connor yelled as he spotted the Small play area my dad had put up for me. "you can get on and I'll push you okay" I nodded and sat on the swing.

My mom came out with juice and some cookies for us. Wile we where eating Connor looked at me. He said if he can ask me a question, I nodded and continued to eat.

"Wanna be my best friend?"I looked at Conner and smiled. "I don't really have any"

I took hold of his hand and stood up pulling him with me. "I don't have friends either......so we can become each others Okay!?"He looked at me for a while and then smiled.

"Okay!" We both laughed.

My mom came outside again and took a picture of us. we both stood next to each other and suddenly he kissed my cheek. I heard the click of the camera and my mom laugh.

~FlashBack Over~

"We played for hours that's day didn't we" i looked at Connor and nodded.

"Yeah we did, it was the best day ever. I finally had a friend....a best friend" it's been 14 years since then. Connor turned 19 last month, mine is in two weeks.

This might be our last birthday celebration together.

Suddenly i felt someone touch the side of my face. Connor had cupped my cheek and rubbed his thumb over it. looking up at him i saw he was frowning.

"please don't cry"he whispered wile wiping the tears away. Quickly i wiped my face with a tissue.

"sorry I didn't even realize I was crying....." He grabbed both of my hands and placed them on his lap. "come on M&M smile for me" he had this weird goofy grin and crossed his eyes.

I laughed, as silent tears ran down my face. "you always did love calling me that." he chuckled.

"Yup" he said popping the P. "I remember you hated to be called that, but I was an exception" he winked at me. I stuck my tongue at him again. He chuckled "I guess you liked me even at the age of 6, but who can blame you I'm really good looking."

"Yeah yeah you tell your self that" he pouts and I burst out laughing.

"Hey I'm hot as hell" he put his arms up and flexed. We laughed and talked all night.

These are the moments I'll miss.
