Something More
Than Friends
*Chapter Nineteen, Part Two*

Later that night, around 8, I walked outside onto our back porch with a bowl of Ramen noodle soup in my hand. I hadn’t eaten anything all day since Josh left, which was strange, because usually all I do is eat when I’m upset. I walked over to one of the cushioned chairs next to a table where I could place my soup. The porch had a magnificent view of the night sky, it was quite mesmerizing. I looked up at a bright, full moon up in the sky, along with a million twinkling little stars. But in my eyes, not even all of the stars in tonight’s sky shone as bright as Josh’s eyes.

Sipping my soup, I reached for my iPod in the back pocket of my sweatpants and turned on some music. I wasn’t even in the mood to listen to One Direction, which was a surprise, considering I’m always in the mood to listen to them. So instead, I turned on some Taylor Swift, to drown out my tears and sorrow. The night air gave off a warm, almost comforting feeling. When I finished my soup, I brought the bowl and spoon back inside and grabbed the pink wool blanket from my bedroom. Before walking back outside though, I noticed a sticky note stuck to the kitchen counter. It read, “Went to the store to pick up milk and bread, be back soon. Love, Mom and Dad.” I stuck the note back on the counter, then headed back outside and returned to my chair with my blanket and some cookies.

About fifteen minutes after relaxing outside, taking in the peaceful night, I heard our back gate make a ‘click,’ the sound it makes when it opens. I froze in my seat and dropped my cookie onto my lap, shuddering at the sound. Probably just the wind, I thought. But the trees remind still. The air remained calm. I went back to eating my last cookie, forgetting about the sound, but fidgeting in my seat. Could’ve been a cat. There’ve been lots of stray cats running around the neighborhood, lately. I switched to some Adele songs and closed my eyes, breathing in the fresh night air. But then, I heard another noise. Footsteps. Okay, now my heart was racing. Who’s lurking in my backyard? This is getting scary. The footsteps were getting closer, but I remained still in my seat, my body covered with my blanket, only with my face exposed. The noise was so close now, I felt like it was right in front of me. Then, to my surprise, a familiar voice starting singing along with Adele. “But there’s a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.” It took a minute, but then, I recognized that voice. I could recognize it anywhere. I smiled, thinking it had to be him, but how could it be? Still singing along, happier then ever, now walking onto my back porch,
was Josh.
