I Have Learned To Wait

How long had it been?

Six years.

All that time spent away from his high school sweetheart.

Now you're probably wondering; what happened? Well, Danny's sophomore year of high school he had moved from the sleepy town of Frankenmuth, Michigan to the busy streets of Nashville, Tennessee. He left behind his childhood, his teachers, friends, and most importantly, Sam.

Samuel Francis Kiszka was Danny's best friend since grade school. His first ever best friend. He would be lying if he said he didn't miss the man. Hell, he missed him a lot.

In high school, he was introduced to the Kiszka brothers, Josh and Jake. Jake was desperate to start a band, and since Danny was starting to get into drums, he decided to accept the offer. They played together for two years, playing gigs in bars and for family.

Right before they were about to set off into the music industry, Danny was informed that his family was moving. Devastated, he was, but not for the sake of the band. It was the thought of losing his best friend.

December 1st, 2014. The night before the Wagner family moved, Danny, Sam, Josh, and Jake had a bonfire in the Kiszka's backyard—a spacious area.

While Jake and Josh went to the house to get drinks, Sam and Danny had a moment.

"Danny?" Sam said softly, a frown tugging at his pouty lips as he looked at the male with a look Daniel has never seen before. There was fear reflecting off of Samuel's eyes.

"Yes, Sammy?" the male replied, a gentle expression on his face as always but his eyes told a story of worry and concern for his friend.

A hand was placed over Danny's, their calloused fingers intertwining. It made both of their hearts beat quicker, a shade of red emitting from their cheeks, but it wasn't too noticeable.

"Promise me you won't forget about me. I don't want you to move, Dan. I wish you could just stay here forever. You and me," Sam said, a crack in his voice while tears rose up to his waterline, slipping down his chiseled cheekbone.

With a frown, Danny put an arm over Sam's shoulder, allowing the male to cuddle closer and lay his head on his shoulder.

"Sam, I'll never forget you. You mean too much to me. I'll come and visit on breaks and we can just goof off. You and me," he replied in a soft voice, gently rubbing Sam's shoulder as a few tears slipped down the boy's face.

The two sat in comforting silence, the sound of a crackling fire and faint laughter of Jake and Josh carried behind them. The twins returned, causing Sam to break away from Danny's hold.

"Let's take a picture, just as a memory of this night," Jake suggested, holding up a camera he had brought back from the house. Sam, Danny, and Josh both stood up and posed for the camera. Sam had put his hand on Danny's chest, holding him as he smiled a genuine smile with the knowledge that this picture would be for Danny.
