Together FOREVER#

The Past.

Seconds, minutes, hours, days and years may seem longer than they really are.The value of time is always misunderstood, I learned that the hard way.You don't know my name, but then again you don't need to; a name doesn't identify a person, their actions don't.

You won't understand what I mean...yet.The sorrow is yet to come but before that let me tell you a little bit about me and what is going on, well I am going to tell you my name anyway, it's Amanda, and I am 15.I go to Hamilton High, but why do you even care, I bet you just want to know the gossip.Well my ex is Steve Fenice, my crush is Charlie Parker and my best friend is, I mean was, Emma Brightstone.Last summer was the best, pool party every weekend, straight B+ grades for 2 months, and an A once or twice, 189 likes on Instagram, the best sleepover's at Emma, Natalie, Lauren and my house, but the best of all or so I thought every lesson with Em.

We were the average best friends, sisters even, we used to do everything together, we wore each other's clothes, played deep truth or dare, everyone knew we were inseparable. But once I started going out with Steve Fenice I had to split my time. Being a good friend I asked Emma if it was O.K that we weren't hanging out all the time, and doing what we used to do, her mouth said "yes" but it was obvious her eyes said "No. Please don't go!", but I did anyway, but I did regret it.Steve cheered me up and eventually I spent more and more time with him, and less and less with her.I still spent break and lunch with her, and an hour on the bus to and from school.

It never occurred to me that she would make new friends until one day we were working in partners, I and Emma are ALWAYS partners but this time she went off with Lauren Andreson, leaving me alone. I confronted her later but she kinda blew me off, but she couldn't avoid me on the bus, but once again I underestimated Em. I asked her but she just said,"Well, I thought you were gonna go with Steve so I went with Lauren so I had a partner and wasn't alone.". That day I tried contacting her, I knew she read my texts cause there was the two little blue tick at the bottom, which b.t.w. never even show up half the time, like I should complain to Whatsapp.But not getting sidetracked, which is not a good word as I recently made the track team but Em didn't.I know what you are probably thinking that I miss Em, and guess what, I do, but how do I talk to someone who just keeps blowing me off.She doesn't reply and we never talk to each other in lessons at break and lunch, I'm with Steve and she's with Lauren.I am gonna admit that I am kinda jealous of Lauren and Emma they seem to be getting off really good, just like we used to or better.I know that Lauren is nice but she can't really, I mean like actually, realistically care that much for Em, or is it just me?

I know that I miss Em like crazy, I never really understood her importance in my life until she wasn't there. It's been a whole month, you'de think that seeing each other every day I would surely have to talk to her, and I do... but it's not easy, well I try to but the last week we actually said hi. And she doesn't totally avoid me but I just can't let her go off with Lauren, you can trust Lauren (or Laur as I call her) with crush secrets and all that but not with Em.Em is innocent and gullible, that's why our friendship is so good, she academically amazing and I am socially amazing, I am normally there to protect her from the outside world, but looks like she's doing just fine without me.

I have decided to do something to make sure Em and I are best friends again, I mean I am not going to be able to do this with a smile, at the time I didn't know what was going to happen, but it was for the best. I made sure Em was watching and I did it, I...
