Come back to me...

Rachel POV

There was someone knocking at the door. Being my weird self, I decided to answer it. I opened it and I find my very best friend Dominic.

Dominic and I have been best friends ever since we were born. Our parents were best friends, so we immediately knew each other. We are both 9 years old. Well, I'm technically 2 months older than him, since my birthday is on September 8, and his is on November 29. Every time someone mentions our birthdays, I like to call myself the boss of him and he always ends up crossing his arms and pouting his lips, but when that happens I just hug him and kiss him on the cheek and he forgives me immediately.

Some kids at school think it's weird for a girl and a boy to be best friends. The boys at school would always make kissing noises whenever we held hands. We always held hands when we were little. If I got sad at what they said, Dominic would go up to them and threaten them, but I would always yank him back. Although, I knew he wasn't bluffing. Dominic could beat anybody up, that's why I always feel safe around him.

Dominic is kind of tall, has peachy skin, and has very luscious hair. I always end up playing with it, but he's used to it by now. I'm really short, very pale, and have very curly brown hair. He always makes fun of me, being short, but then I just remind him that I'm older and it always seems to shut him up.

"Dommy!" I cheer, as I threw my arms around him.

"Hey RachyBear! Do u wanna go to the park?" He asked me.

"YES YES YES!!!" I practically shouted in his ear. "Mom! Can I go with Dominic, to the park?!" I hope she says yes.

Whenever me and Dom go to the park, we always make great memories there. I remember once, when we were 6, we saw little ducklings in a pond. I rushed over there and was about to touch one when Dommy rushes over there and yells "NO!" I don't know why he said that, but when I go to touch one, I fall in to the pond. It wasn't that deep, but I couldn't get out. Dominic jumps into the pond and yanks me out, me coughing.

"RACHEL ELLA EVANS, DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" He scolded. I would have been laughing, because we were only 6, but I knew he was being serious.

"I'm sorry, Domino. I won't ever do it again." I whimpered, on the verge of tears.

"Hey, hey. Don't cry RachyBear. I'm sorry for yelling. You just really scared me. I don't ever wanna lose you, okay?" He said, kissing my forehead.

"Okay."

After that, we just pretended like nothing ever happened, and just played, pretending we were the king and queen of the park.

"Is Mrs. Butler going to be there?" She asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Evans!" Dominic answered, with that beautiful smile of his.

"Okay! Please be safe!" She yelled, because she's in the kitchen. I rolled my eyes because she's always being over protective.

"We will! Bye, Mommy!"

"Bye, honey!" And with that we finally leave, me yanking Dominic's hand to his moms car.

at the park

We were playing airplane in the sandbox. Airplane is when someone has their feet in the air and you put your tummy on the feet and jump off, so you feel like you're flying, but you're just on the persons' feet. I was the airplane. We were such dorks.

After that, Dominic put me down, but he had a sad look in his eyes.

"Dommy, what's wrong? You look sad." I said, frowning.

"Because, RachyBear, I am sad." He paused. He was never sad. The only times he got sad, was when I hurt myself and that barely happens. "I'm moving." He finished.

"What does that mean?" I ask, confused. I obviously knew what it meant, but I know that this doesn't apply to Dominic. Or at least I thought I knew.

"It means I'm not going to live in my house anymore and going to a new house, far away. To California. No more Mississippi." He ended with a sob. No. I love Dommy. He's my best friend. My other half of my heart.

"No! Why, Dommy? Why are you leaving me!?" I ask, hugging him so tight that I think he might pop.

"My mom and dad told me that they got a new job. I asked if I could stay with you, but they said they would be too far away. I'm sorry Rachel."

"It's ok, Dominic. I love you so much. Don't ever forget that, ok? I will always be right here." I said, pointing to his heart.

When that happens, he hugs me and cries even harder.

"Rachel, I love you too. So much. Here." He said, releasing me. "I got my dad to buy this for us, so we can never forget each other. There is one for me and one for you." When I looked down, I see that it's a heart locket with his picture in it. On the other side, in the inside, engraved is 'I love you, RachyBear. Forever and always. -Dommy.' His says the same thing, but his has my picture and his says 'I love you, Dommy. Forever and always. -RachyBear.'

"I will always love you, Rachel Ella Evans." He kissed me on the lips this time. It's not a long kiss, only 3 seconds, but it held so much emotion and I realize that I love him more than a friend. "And I saw that from a movie. Mommy said that it shows you love someone."

"She was right. I will always love you, Dominic Jay Butler." And with that his mom called him to say that he has to leave. He gives me one final hug and kiss and then he leaves.

When I get home, I bawled my eyes out holding onto my locket. My life was over.

8 years later

That was 8 years ago. I used to cry almost every night. Now it's only occasional, when I'm feeling really lonely. I have never taken it off, even when people ask me why I always wear it. Since I'm polite I always tell them 'it's none of your business.' But in my head I'm telling them to fuck off. Tomorrow is the first day of school and my final year of high school. Thank God. I've been applying for colleges, but the only one I want to go to is Mississippi State. Hopefully, this year doesn't suck like all the other ones. Oh, Dominic. Why don't you just come back to me?

(A/N) Well, hello there, fellow readers. My name is Kalah Roche (pronounced Kayla Row-Shay) and this is my first story! Well I had another story, but I decided not to finish that one, so I will consider this one my first. :) This story is based on one of my best friends, Rachel and her soon to be boyfriend, Dominic ( ;) ) As you can see Rachel in this story will be Melissa Rauch, but imagine her with dark, brown, curly hair. And Dominic (requested by Rachel, is apparently "BAE") is Johnny Depp, but imagine him younger. Actually just imagaine both of them younger cuz that would be weird. XD Anyways idk how many people will actually read this story, but if u do and u like it (hopefully) it'd be cool if u shared it with your friends! Thanks, Kalah. Xx
