Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye
007
Alex’s POV
I had been trying to keep it a secret from her all week. Today was the day I would be taking her to meet Green Day! Being Rebecca’s bestfriend I had come to learn that Green Day were her favourite band. I had been planning this day for her for ages. I needed everything to be perfect. I woke early that morning getting dressed and checking I had the passes to the meet and greet and the tickets to the concert after. Rebecca’s brother, Jake knew all about it and agreed to play along. Although it was annoying when he kept asking over and over again if there was something going on between me and Rebecca. I continued to deny it though deep down inside I was screaming about how I wanted something to happen. Ever since I had met Jake I had considered asking him why he they had moved here to America let alone Baltimore, but something held me back every time; the promise. I had basically agreed with Becca that I wouldn’t question it, that I would wait till she was ready to tell me. I couldn’t help but wonder what it was. I noticed from whenever I went to her house, her dad was always missing. It seemed as if he didn’t exist.
I quickly shake the thoughts from my head realising I was going to be late picking Becca up. I didn’t want to be late, I wanted this day to be perfect for Rebecca, and it was going to be everything she ever wanted. I made sure I looked good, didn’t want to let her down now did I? I send a text to Rebecca making sure she’s awake and ready; we couldn’t be late. I grab the keys, shout a quick goodbye to my mum and leave the house. I look up at the sky and see the sun, knowing that today is going to be a good day for once. I pick up my pace and run to the car hoping in before driving the short distance from mine to Rebecca’s, I pull up outside Rebecca’s and wait the short amount of time before she appears at her door.
Of course she’s looking as beautiful as always. Her red hair had faded to a more subtle ginger which really suited her skin colour; her hair was curled making her look beautiful. She’s wearing ripped jeans and a blink 182 top. I mentally thanked myself for hiding a Green Day top of hers in the trunk; at least she’d be able to change when we arrive at the venue. She walks down the path, her hair swaying in the wind, I sometimes wonder if she realises how beautiful she is just when she walks but she’s oblivious to her beauty. I wipe the thought from my mind as she climbs into my car.
“Hello there my beautiful bestfriend.” I say as she climbs into the car. Yeah most people believe that when I talk like this its cause I’m being my charming self, that I’m trying to hit on them…but when it comes to Rebecca, I’m talking the truth.
“Hello twat face.” She replies back poking her tongue out at me. Even though Rebecca’s my bestfriend, she can’t even remain serious to me, she’s always joking. I smile back even though inside I feel rejected.
“You know sometimes you’re just a mean bitch.” I reply back trying to joke along before pulling away from her house.

We drive for what feels like ages. After a while Rebecca caught on to the fact we weren’t going to our usual breakfast hangout and kept quizzing me over where we were going. The most I would say is that it is a surprise. After what feels like an eternity of endless questions on our location and destination, we arrive. Luckly from our surroundings there is no clue to where we actually are. I climb out the car and gesture for Rebecca to follow.
“Okay, no more joking, where the fuck are we?” asks Rebecca, the anger making her British accent become thick, I do love her accent. She follows me to the back of the car where I stand by the trunk.
“Just shush will you and trust me, you’re going to really love it.” I reply smiling before popping the lid of the trunk open. “Oh and put this on.” I continue chucking the Green Day shirt at her. She looks at me questioningly, before glancing at my shirt which is the exact same as hers. She shrugs before asking where the nearest toilet is.
That’s the thing about Rebecca, she won’t let anyone see anything and I mean anything, she wears jeans, never shorts, even in hot weather, she always wears t-shirts, never tanks or crop tops and shell always leave the room to check her stomach or something. I shake it off before pointing to a Starbucks over the road, she nods and smiles before running off shouting something about one minute.
I stand at the car looking at my phone for 5 minutes before Rebecca comes running back wearing the Green Day shirt and having the blink 182 shirt in hand. Even now she looks even more beautiful, how does she do it.
Oh shush Alex, stop thinking of her that way, she would never feel the same. I mentally slap myself and grab the blink shirt from her waiting hands, throw it in the trunk and lock up the car. I turn to face her waiting smile.
“where to now?” she questions.
