The Night We Met

"I thought I would be okay," I said as traitor tears fell from my eyes, I wiped them away quickly, not breaking eye contact with Sam. He looked at me as sweat beads rolled down the side of his head, deep quiet breaths moving past his lips.

"But I'm not, Sam. I'm not okay. And I'm never gonna be okay if I stay there, there's nothing left for me at that house. It reeks, every inch is filled with memories of people that I love, that have died." I say shaking my head, trying to get him to understand was going to be hard, he didn't have to sleep in that house every night and dream of the people I've lost and then wake up and know that I can never see them again.

"Riley, please, where are you gonna go?" He asked in a last stitch effort to get me to stay. I shrugged my shoulders as an answer, I had no idea where I was gonna go.

"Listen, I'm not going to let you just go off into the night, you can stay with me. I know it's not what you'd prefer, but I won't take no for an answer." Sam said, I looked at him and scoffed before walking over and wrapping my arms around his waist, I laid my head on his cheater and sniffled.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"I shouldn't be, you've had me strung up on you since we were seven. Sixteen years I've had the honor of calling my best friend, and now I get to call you my roomie." He chuckled.
