I lay awake, thinking. The clock says 3am but my mind says midnight.  My bestfriend right beside me.

"Ash? You awake?" I whisper. "Yup, have been for hours." Ashley tells me.

"Why? Can't sleep?" "No I can't.  Do you ever just can't sleep because you're too busy thinking about life or the future?" I question. 

"All. The. Time." I hear a sigh come from my long time friend.

"What do you think is going to happen between us? Like in 5 years or so. What's gonna happen when we go to college? Or meet a boy? Or get married? Or have kids? Are we gonna still be in touch?" I can't help but question her.

"I think we'll still be best friends. Through it all. Through school. Through all the boys. And even have our kids to be best friends because we'll always be best friends." She defends.

"I don't wanna lose you." "You won't.  You're stuck with me." She tells me

I can't help but cry of joy, because I have a best friend who cares so much for me and would do anything to make me happy. Who would risk it all just to know I'll be safe. Who'll be there through everything as always. I am greatful for my unbiological sister.
