This was my first fanfic I wrote for a friend. I hope you enjoy it! R&R!
Alex and I have been friends for a long time; we were friends ever since grade school. He was a fun loving guy who cared about everyone. I remembered when he brought me to a Blink-182 concert and attempted to sneak backstage. Obviously we were turned down and then we attempted to sneak at the back alley of the venue; security saw us and chased us out of the property. It was an unforgettable night. Once, we even attempted to go to the drive-thru at a Jack in the Box in a wheel chair and ordered a milk shake. The man was nice enough to give us the milk shake we ordered, even though he wasn't allowed. We did everything together; he was my best friend.
When I was in the 10th grade, I moved away from Baltimore because my parents wanted to go back to their hometown, Seattle. I gave Alex my cell phone number, telling him to keep in touch. When I moved in Seattle, my mom changed my cell phone number and Alex wasn't able to call me. We lost contact of each other and I haven't talked to him in five years. When I turned 21 years old, I decided to come back to Baltimore and moved in with my friend, Dominique in her apartment. That's when everything changed…
"Does everything feel the same like it did when you were 16, Victoria?" Dominique asked me when we were driving through my old neighborhood.
"I don't know," I replied. "Everything feels different."
We pulled over in front of Dominique's apartment; we carried my stuff up the stairs. When she opened the door, she showed me my room. "This is your room. I'm so excited that you came back again. You are right. Everything did change around here."
I ended up having a job at a record store where I used to go to when I was younger. It was a good paying job and it revolved around my favorite thing: music. I came to work one day when one of my co-workers called in sick. I was working at the counter and arranging some CDs on the shelf. It was only me who was at the counter; my other co-worker was working at the back. A guy came in with a girl, probably around the same age as me and looked around. He looked so familiar; I recognized the brown swooped hair and the brown eyes. He just looked so familiar. He looked at me and gave me this look that reads "I recognize you." It took me five minutes until I realized it was my best friend.
"Alex?" I said to him.
When I spoke, he gave me a big smile, "Victoria? Is that you?" He walked to the counter and opened his arms to me.
I gave him a hug over the counter. "Dude, I missed you so much. How are you? I mean, I see you are successful in your career."
He shrugged. "Yeah, but I wish you were with me along the way though. I tried to call you, but some creepy guy kept answering the phone. Did you change your number?"
"Yeah, my mom changed my phone number. I got mad at her for doing that, but I'm here now."
Alex leaned in. "Are you here to stay permanently?"
I smiled. "Yes, I'm going to stay here permanently. Here, I'll give you my new phone number."
"Good. I don't want to lose my best friend twice. At least I can keep in touch with you now."
The girl he came with walked up to the counter. "Are you done?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah… I'll see you later, Victoria. Welcome home." He waved goodbye to me while the girl he came with smiled. I assumed the girl he was with was his girlfriend…and it turned out I was right.
