Yin Yang Alex Nichols

3

So the past four years, Alex and me got real close. He's super sweet, and let me tell yaw puberty did him good. I've been teaching him the trick I did and, he's getting it, I try to do it slow, but every time he gets it, I do it fast, and accidently keep punching him in the face, oops. So now I'm at Alex's sitting on his bed about to get interviewed for Tuck's YouTube, hoping it'll get hits and we won't have to move. Sadly, they want our houses to make a freeway. "Hey." I smiled at him, to be honest, leaving Alex... sounds more painful than moving from home to home. "What you thinking about Lyds?" I sighed and shook my head. "Don't lie to me." I looked at him, I want to cry, let everything out, but I can't.

"I'm going to miss you." He sighed and pulled me in for a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you the most." I nuzzled more into him, I hate this.

"I.. I hate this, Al. Why do we have to move? I just found a place I could stay at, have friends, and be happy.. and now.."

"Now, you'll have us, even if you are miles or hours away. We still love you, I.. I still love you." I smiled and pulled away.

"I love you, too, Al.." He smiled and grabbed my hand, I looked up at him, if only he knew, I didn't mean it like that.

"Hey, you guys... ready?" We pulled our hands away and looked at Tuck.

"Yeah." Tuck and Munch put the camera up, I sat on Alex's bed, Al never moved.

"Okay, your name?" I gave him a look, I groaned.

"Fine. Hiya, I'm Lydia, but my friends call me Lee, or Lia, Alex calls me Lyds. I'm 15, I'll be 16 Friday, and uh, it sucks we're moving. Have you ever met someone, who is.. just.. like they fit in your life? Like, no matter what, you feel like your destined to be with them, and nothing can keep you from them? Or... how about a pacific person, who makes you feel more welcomed into the world, I know I'm just a kid and there's nothing we can do, but maybe, maybe this is meant to happen. Yeah, I'm one of those people. I just hope that after the move, and all. I'll still have these guys." They all smiled at me, and Al grabbed my hand again. "Family sticks together, no matter how far away, I love you guys." Alex hugged me, Munch and Tuck came over and hugged me as well. "If you ever find friends like these. Never let them go." Tuck smiled at me and got up.

"P-perfect." I wiped my eyes and got up, we walked outside to do Alex's take.

"Uh, say your name."

"I thought you knew my name?" I looked at him with sad eyes, I know this is hard for him.

"You know what I mean, for the video."

"Dude we've been hanging out for years."

"Come on. Dude, stop fronting. Just tell the camera. You're upset, right? You don't want to move." Alex's face fell and he turned around, I walked up to him and put my head on his shoulder, I grabbed his hand with mine.

"It'll be okay." I whispered in his ear. "We're right here, I'm right here." He looked at me and smiled.

"Thanks, Lyds." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Always. So boys, what y'all wanna do tomorrow?"

"Well, I have to go edit yawls videos before posting them, then I'll text y'all. Okay?" I nodded my head at Tuck.

"I should get home, Tessa's gonna wonder." Munch looked at us and nodded his head. "Munch come on, we'll make sure nothing new goes home with you." We all shared a laugh before hugging Alex. I wrapped my arms around him instantly not wanting to let go. He did the same holding me tight, leaving Alex. It's like leaving part of me, leaving the only place I know as home. Leaving the only person who gets me, really really gets me.
