Every day of every grade was spent with you. We cried together, we spent every moment...together. The summer came soon...but that wasn't going to keep us apart. Every week we went to an old abandoned Walmart and play tag, and hide and go seek. Sometimes we'd bring a lighter and a candle and roast something stupid...like peaches. Then we go to aisle 6 and set up our sleeping bags. Sometimes he'd come to my house, and we talk for hours and play pointless games. The summer was over, and the weather turned worst too quickly. One day you weren't at school. I was so lonely...the world was pitch black without you by me. One day a letter arrived at my door. I opened it...it smelled like candles, sleeping bags, peaches... I ripped it open, and in his nicest hand writing, was written, "Dear Zoey, I had to move. I won't ever see you again...I'm crying. I took the time to put our favorite things into smells. I will miss you so much...I really, really liked you...Sincerely Zane."I dropped the letter, and the tears fell out like that. A small puddle was formed beside me. I inhaled the scents from the letter, still crying. I lay down on the cold gras.s, staring at the sky, thinking of you. I laughed and cried when I thought of all the stupid things we've done over the years. Life was officially done.One day, fourteen years after Zane moved, I opened my eyes. Every year I went to Walmart and camped out there...to remind me of Zane. Today was the day. I got my stuff and went to Walmart. I went it and who did I see but...Zane. I ran over and hugged him at least sixty times. Then, I did what I never dared to do. I kissed him. We played tag like we were five, and we roasted six cans of peaches. We camped in aisle 6, and I asked. "I thought you moved." And he said... "I loved you too much. When I was old enough, I moved back. I never thought I'd ever see you." We looked at the ceiling and pretended to see angels... but I already had one of those, right next to me.
(Not true. But I do have a BFF named Zane and we are inseparable)
