Best Friends and More

5 years ago "Joseph, What are you doing? You're going to miss your flight." I say to him, " Get your a*s in the car. We have to go now."  "Okay mom." he says while laughing at me, "I'll be in the car in 2 minutes, promise."  While Joseph goes to get the rest of his stuff, I jump in the car waiting to drive him to the airport. "Chloe make sure that he gets there on time please." says Joseph's mom, "I really appreciate the help of taking him. You know I would take him but I have to work." "I know Mrs. Black. It's perfectly fine." I say with a small smile. I've only met Mrs. Black 2 other times and she is beautiful with long straight black hair, a height of 5'8, light hazel eyes, and light olive skin tone. Joseph is almost the spitting image of his mother except he is 6'1, with short black hair, dark brown eyes, and a fit build. "Do you have everything you need?" asked Mrs. Black. "Yes mom. I have everything." he said with a sigh, "Love you mom. I call when I land and get settled in." With some tears, hugs, and promises later, we were in the car on our way to the airport. I feel his stare baring into the back of my head. "What are you staring at?" I say with annoyance. Taking a quick glance at him I see him thinking about something, "Joseph spit it out or I will hit you." I threaten him with a playful glare. "Alright you win. I'm just worried that we'll lose touch when I leave and I really don't want that to happen. You're a great person and I'm so glad that we met." he said with a sad sigh. "Don't get all soft on me now but I don't want to lose touch either. When you get back in the states give me a call. Deal?" I say all serious, "Deal." says Joseph with reassurance. I pulled up to the airport and we got out to unpack all of Joseph's stuff. "So, now we say goodbye." I say sadly. As we hug and say are goodbyes his flight number is called to start boarding the plane.
