always holding hands
There I was, laughing again. Laughing over a small joke that my bestfriend made. Looking into his eyes deeply with a big smile on my face. My long brown hair falling over my face, I looked over to see the time. 4:33 AM. I looked back at him looking at his phone. “What are you doing?” I asked, trying to peek at his phone. “Oh nothing just checking in with my sister”. He’s such a caring person. “Oh is she okay?” I asked , looking at him waiting for a response. “Yeah she’s fine” he answered putting his phone down and looking back at me. He brushed the hair out of my face and grabbed my hand. I started to get red and I looked down at our hands intertwined. I look back at him with a confused look on my face. He smiled and kissed me. I was speechless, I couldn't say anything without stuttering. “I-” he kissed me again to keep me from talking. I kissed him back. He pulled away, opened the window and we both went out as he dragged me to the back of the house. He put the old rusted ladder up against the shed.we climbed up it and jumped onto the roof. There was already blankets and food. “Why are there already blankets and food up here?” we walked over and sat on the blanket. He grabbed my hand and I laid my head on his shoulder. We watched the sunrise that day. I was shocked about the fact my best friend of 8 years kissed me out of nowhere, but i wasn’t mad about it because i had been in love with him since day one. The day we met at the park while we were running around and accidently bumped into each other. He grabbed my hand and helped me up. “Are you okay?” he asked me as I was getting up from falling. “I-i’m fine,” I said back to him. I blew the hair out of my face and he laughed. “W-what are you laughing about!?” I said scrunching my eyebrows and looking up at him. “Nothing you just looked cute” he said with a smirk on his face. “What I-I did not!” i said and then I looked down seeing that we were still holding hands. “Whatever you say cutie” he said pulling me the slides. I would never forget that day. Sometimes I think about the fact that if we never ran into each other that i would’ve never talked to him or even had a best friend right now. We would’ve been strangers and I'm really glad I did meet him. Here i am again, holding his hand in a hospital bed.
