The Neighbor's

The Beginning

As I watch the Vampire Diaries, Damon said something that got me thinking about shirt.

"Smiling doesn't always mean you're happy. Sometimes it simply means that you're a strong person.”

I go to my window so I could stalk Luca from a distance. Luca's moving. And although he keeps saying "I'm going to come back soon" and "I won't leave you". What does he have keeping him in this small city? His's mothers gone. His dads a drunk. And then there's me. Little old me. He looks around at then up to my second story building. He smiles a 100 wot smile and I swear I saw stars. He could be a tooth model if that was a thing. I squeak and put my red face into the pillow. As I mentally scold myself, Luca walks into the room and sits on my bed.

"Resorting to stalking eh?"

"shut up"

I suit up to look him in his dazzling blue eyes. As I stare into them I start to think about the time when he told me he was leaving.

* Flashback *

As I re-read a book that I've read for the hundredth time already. Someone knocks on the door.

"COME IN!" I yell.

Luca walks inside the room.

"Wassup bestie?" I say casually when actually I'm kinda sorta dying inside for his hotness levels. I see his mouth moving but I'm so focused on what he's wearing. Blue ripped jeans with an athletic shirt that sticks to his chest. His hair messed up to perfection that looks like he just got out of bed and also spent hours of perfecting it. All of a sudden I hear someone snapping.

"HELLO? Earth to Rose?"

"Uhh. Yes, I'm paying attention and listening."

"Oh really? Then what was I talking about?"

Fudge cakes. Quick think of something.

"You were talking about....."

Just then the little boy I always babysit comes in the room.

"ROSEEEEEE!!!!"

He stops yelling once he sees Luca.

He turns around and puts out his hand out for Luca to shake.

"Elijah's the name. I am a handsome young man that everyone loves and cares for. I have dreads and am a hypebeast."

Luca looks at me suppressing laughter. He crouches down to Elijah's level.

"Well hello, there young man. Now can you go wait outside while I talk to Rose because I have to tell her so thing very important."

He salutes Luca. "Yes, sir". He then marches out the room.

"Well as I was saying before. "

He looks at me super nervous and sad. He walks over to my bed and sits next to me.

"So what I'm about to say may get you very upset and angry at me."

I look at him encouraging him to continue.

"I'm..... moving?"

Nothing. I felt nothing when he said those words. I stand up.

"Rose?"

I walk to the door and am about to leave when he stops me by pulling me into a hug.

"Listen. I don't want to leave... But I have to. There's a...... business opportunity waiting for me in Texas. So I have to go '

He cups my chin so I could look into his eyes.

"I WILL come back for you. I promise"

Don't look at his lips. Don't look at his lips. Don't look at his lips.

Annnnd I looked. They're so soft and plump and pink and kissable. I quickly put my head into his chest before I do something I'll regret for life.

"Let's go watch a movie."

"can we watch frozen again?" I say in my smallest voice.

"ROSEEEEE! That's what we always watch."

"PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"OK.OK Fine!"

He gets blankets, pillows, beverages, and snacks, whilst I drop Elijah at his home.

I get back and there's a pillow fort with snacks everywhere and frozen on the television.

I jump onto the pillow fort grab a bag of popcorn. He snuggles in behind me and we fall asleep watching frozen.

* End of flashback*

By the end of me reminiscing about the memories. I guess I started to cry because Luca came over and started to wipe the tears off my face whispering sweet nothings into my ear. I fell asleep in his arms. And when I woke up the next morning, he was gone.
