Give Me Adventure!

Finally!

    It was finally happening!  She was coming!  And for more than just 2 days!  Sorry I should probably clarify.  Emma was coming, and just who exactly is Emma?  My best friend of course!  She was someone I could always count on, even if she lived states away.  She was also my cousin so she was bonded to me by blood, it'd be harder for her to get rid of me that way.
    We had been talking about this trip for a year now.  Normally my family would go up to Idaho to see her because we had so many family members in Idaho and we were the only ones in Illinois, but my older sister Natalie had gotten married a few months previously and was having a wedding reception in Love, Illinois (our home town).  Emma was coming with our grandparents just to see me!  That is if the drive didn't kill her.
    I had been texting her all day to figure out how close she was.  When I got the message "pulling in" I jumping off me bed and stood at the door watching her pull in.  Screaming at the top of my lungs and pulling her in a tight embrace. Her short dirty blonde hair was covered up by a baseball cap.  I pulled her up to my room after helping her with her bags. I don't think the smile ever left my face.
We talked and talked for hours and hours, just the two of us.  We found that when we are together, it's hard for people to be around us.  Our crazy, quirky, dorky personalities put together is pure madness, but we don't care.  Emma was a year and a half older than me but her height didn't show it.  We are both short, the same height. We escaped my room only to grab boxes of snacks from the pantry and to sneak them up to my room.
She informed me of her neighbor John. I had already met him before but it was a few years previously. John is one who doesn't think before he does. He'll carelessly crush a heart so many times until all that's left is dust.
I told her if Carter, a boy who I was absolutely swooned by. In my eyes he was close to perfect, but no ones perfect, he's got his corks. He's always so kind, that when he let me down I didn't notice the part of my heart I gave him slowly crumble away. However I still have hope for him. I know it's stupid and I remind myself that everyday, but there's something about him that makes him different then the rest.
Emma is my other half, she mends my heart break by just being there and listening to me. I'm there for her and always offer my assistance in slapping a person. She gets me and that's all that matters.
