Alex Gaskarth is my Best Friend

Age:13 Years

I twirled the friendship bracelet that was currently on my wrist that Alex had made for me. It was all my favorite colors, lime green, aqua blue, purple and yellow. He made it when we were ten. On my right hand there was the ring that I never took off. He gave it to me when we were first friends about a month after we first met. It now barely fit my pinkie. The ring was gold with a red heart in the middle.

I was meeting Alex at his house for a sleep over our usual thing on Fridays, and Saturdays. I turned Blink-182 up. Our favorite band. My birthday was next week September 15th and I was trying to convince my parents to get us tickets. But they were saying no. ‘All the small things’ Came on and I danced around looking in my closet for something to wear. I never had to remember to bring stuff to Alex’s I had my over night stuff always at Alex’s, and I always borrowed his clothes for nighttime.

The problem was to actually pick something out. I wanted to always look pretty around Alex. Since I did have a crush on him. Since...the day we met. I wanted to have my first kiss with him. But he had already had his with a cindy girl when we were 10. I have hated her since. Girls have always liked Alex and I was jealous. I couldn’t help but have the doubt that we were or ever going to be MORE then friends. We have done almost everything together. We finished elementary school together, made a tree house, got our flu shots together, We started the scary 6th grade together, we made a time box and put it in the park that on my birthday this year we would open and put new stuff in, we started puberty together, and the list just keeps going on. I wanted to keep it that way.

I have my underwear on my, hair straightened, my little make up done I never really used make up, and then I picked out a white V neck shirt.

“All the, small things, True care, truth brings, I’ll take, one lift, Your ride, best trip” I paused. I wasn’t sure what pants to wear although a white shirt goes with everything.

“Always, I know, You’ll be at my show watching, waiting, commi-serating”.

ALEX’s POV

Capri’s mom opened the door to me smiling.

“Shes upstairs hun.” Her mom loved me which I was thankful for, because it would be very awkward to spend everyday with a girl and her parents would hate you. Shessh..

“Thanks Mrs. Eden.” She winked at me and went back to the kitchen. I could already hear Capri’s music blasting up in her room. ‘All the small things’ was on. I was so excited for her birthday. I had finally saved up to by the Blink-182 tickets for the both of us. On friday next week, the day before her birthday. I walked up the familiar stair case and came to her room. The door was cracked open and I saw her dancing around in a white shirt.

“Say it ain’t so, I will not go.” She sang

I jumped in her room and turned the lights off.

“Turn the lights off, Carry me home.” It was dark in her room now and I walked into her tumbling onto her bed and on top of Capri. The light shined through so I could see her beautiful face and she could see me.

“Na na na na na..” She whispered.

“Hello C.” I said looking into her what she said boring eyes. But to me they had a certain something about them. Both of my hands rested on the sides of her. Her arms were above her head. It was the perfect situtation for me to kiss her. As I so badly wanted to, but that could mess things up. So i leaned and kissed her on the forehead and cheek.

“Hello, to you too, Alexander.” I loved it when she called me Alexander and she knew it. She was the only one who was aloud to do that. Not even my best guy friend Jack.

“I already have your birthday present.” I looked at her up and down till I noticed something. She. wasn’t. wearing. pants. I was on top of her. Well this is weird. I knew I should be moving but when not? She wasn’t complaining.

“Yay! What is it?” She said clapping. She was wearing the friendship bracelet and ring i gave her a while ago. As was I wearing the friendship bracelet she made me when we were 10. I leaned into her ear. I could feel her heart beat faster.

“Can’t tell ya!”

“No fair Alex, but I know it will be amazing, as always, I love how you get me presents where its just me and you.” She said smiling.

“I love spending time with my best friend.” I kissed her on the cheek.

“I love you.” She said and kissed my cheek.

“I love you too.”

“I would love to let you lay your body all over me, buttttttt I kinda need some pants on.”

“Aww, man.” I said getting off of her and turning on the lights.

“Shut the door.” She said getting up. I did so and turned around to her mirror. The wall beside it and the whole mirror were covered in pictures of me and her. Some of her and jack. I realized she didn’t have a girl friend. She was always mine and I want to keep it that way. I gazed at the mirror and watched Capri. I have always thought Capri was so pretty. Amazing. Funny. Perfect. And I want to make her mine. But I don’t know how she feels. I sighed and watched her slip on black skinny jeans.

“Stop drooling Alex.” She said walking over to me. I smiled trying to blow it off.

“Why?” She smiled and jumped on my back. I caught her and ran down the stairs with her light body on my back. We passed her mom and she smiled.

“Havvvee fuuuuuuunnnnn, love you.”

“You too mom!” She shouted as we left.

I ran to my house. Finally getting tired. I walked up the stairs slower. She moved her body up and down on my back and hit me.

“Fastterrr!” She yelled.

“Thats what she said.” I yelled. My parents were gone and so was my younger brother. I could do whatever I wanted.

“Perv! Lemme off! I’m done dry humping your back.” I laughed so hard. She always made me laugh.

“If thats what you want.” I dropped her in my huge pile of dirty clothes.

“AALLLLEXXX GERRRMMMSS!!” She yelled trying to get out, but it was causing her to get covered in them.

“Help me!!”

“Nope, you were mean and made rude sexual comments.” I said laughing at her.

“I’m sorry!! Would you like me to continue my dry humping?” She said stopped her movement and looking up at me.

“Yes please.”

“Then help me out.” I reached her hand and pulled her out. But she used her weight to get up and push me back in.

“Ha Ha babe.” She shook her hips and put her face infront of mine.

“I like these.” She pulled a pair of ‘Go Diego Go’ boxers and stuck her tongue out.

I blushed hard. This was beyond embarrassing!

“Aww little Alex is embarrassed!”

“Yes! Please put them away and help me. I’m sorry!” She giggled and put them on.

“I’m going to keep em sound good?”

“Help!” I shouted. Smiling. I reached for her hand and pulled her in with me.

“Much better.” I said. I grabbed the top of the boxers and pulled them off of her.

“No fair!” She shouted I tossed them to the side.

“Meanie.” I crawled next to her and put my head on her lap. Silence consumed the room and she ran her hands through my long hair. I closed my eyes and moved my head so it was resting on her stomach. She laid down on the clothes and sighed. I felt her breathing slow and I knew she was asleep. I ran my hand up and down her leg till I too fell asleep.
