You, Me, We, Us

Chapter 1

Zoe

Crazy year I'm back at school again and well this year is a bit different see I went to a private school with my bestfriend and his dad was the principal but we are all moving we lived next door to eachother and well now we won't live next door and that bites but our parents swear we will be able to still see eachother all the time. My bestfriend Hudson is amazing he always has been there to protect me and love me. Well you see I'm kind of a nerd I know a bunch of weird facts and I love science annnd well history too. I remember when we were little little 3rd or 4th grade he got a science kit for Christmas he was with his family in the Carolinas but he waited to open it till I spent the weekend at his house so we could do experiments together. It was great we have been bestfriends since kindergarten. We are now Fifteen and things are crazy we have our learners Hudson is a few months younger but no one would know it because he is always treating me like he has to take care of me. We've had people ask is it like a brother sister relationship and the answer is no it's hard to explain to people but in kindergarten we chose eachother. We are eachothers person. We've been asked more me than him, I think , if we were in love because we are so close again no and it's hard to explain. People have told me he doesn't love you, you know that right? On his end people have told him not to lead me on. It caused some strain but only for about a month we usually tell eachother everything even the weird awkward things. We both came to the conclusion adults have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to us at least. Well I've cried my tears that we are moving and not next door to eachother. We say our good byes and we see eachother next weekend.

Next weekend comes with anticipation

I'm excited to be spending the weekend at their new place I usually sleep with Hudson or his sister. His parents trust us and we never gave them a reason not to.

I arrive before he gets home from school I make myself comfortable in his room and take a nap. I am awoken by him plopping on the bed beside me. My eyes flutter and he says wake up sleepy head I've missed you this week it weird you not being there every day. I get up and we go for a walk we watch a movie and just hang out. We talk for hours but hey that's us it's just easy. The weekend goes by fast and before we know it, it's Hudson's birthday he's turning fifteen we decided the movies and dinner would be fun. I already got him a gift, his dad drops us off at the mall it has shopping food and movies all there. We go to the movies then dinner and walk for a while. He was going through a jewelry phase and liked nautical theme items. I searched for a month and a half and finally found a necklace chain that was silver and looked like a rope with an anchor. It seemed appropriate because he was my anchor, when I felt down or any kind of way that wasn't good or healthy he could bring me back. Alot of the guys in our group of friends teased him that I got that for him because I wanted to be his girlfriend I wanted no such thing it was hard enough being misunderstood all the time by people I only prayed he didn't misunderstand me. He loved his gift and wore it all the time.

Thanksgiving came quickly and we spent part of the day together his parents let him come to my uncles since our Thanksgiving was later in the day and then we would go back to his and I would stay the weekend. When we got back we were stuffed so we sat on the couch and watched Christmas movies while cuddled up on the couch. I was laying on him and watching the movie his parents came in and sat down to watch with us. It was nothing new for them to see us like that we have always been very close. It never bothered them.

I was excited I love Thanksgiving but I loved, loved, loved, Christmas Hudson always found it funny, because I'm not like everyone else I like the season of sharing and giving, my family is poor and can't afford much but for me its never been about the gifts it's about the togetherness of the season. Over the next few weeks we hang out as much as possible Hudson's family is going out of town to visit his extended family in North Carolina. I will miss him but he'll have fun.

After Christmas and New Years its been a few weeks and they're back and this weekend I'm going over.
