best friend (n):
the girl that makes you laugh so hard your body goes numb, who will serenade you in public, and purposely shove you down the stairs. the girl who calls your mother by her first name, who doesn't knock on the front door but rather barges in screaming "i'm homeeee!", and then eat all the food from the fridge and pantry. the girl who has dance parties by herself, who doesn't care if she burps or farts in your presence, and will call you out when you're being annoying. the girl who knows all your secrets, and guards them with her life.
the girl you would take a bullet for, who you would trust with your life. the girl who can read your mind from one glance at your expression, who can see the pain behind every forced smile, who can make you crack up when you're crying. the the only person that's not family who you say "i love you" to on a regular basis. the girl who will be there when you break down, will hold you while you sob, and will destroy any boy who breaks your heart. someone you can sit in a room with in complete silence without a trace of awkwardness. the one who knows you better than you know yourself, and isn't afraid to show it. the girl who has seen you at your worst, and will always walk in when the rest of the world walks out. The girl who can write a thousand page essay on your life, the girl that can see your soul. She is your sister, your parent, your therapist, and your obnoxious little brother all at the same time. And you never, ever, want to lose her.
