Chapter's Song: Treat Me Like Somebody - Tink
____________________________________

Overly dramatic sniffling fills the air as I watch my best friend put on a show right before I get into the car to leave.

"Awwww Rebecca stop it, I thought we agreed on not crying." I say grinning a bit.

Watching her so close to spilling the tears that were brimming her eyelids. My own almost mirroring hers, but i'm not able to shed any tears. It's just I don't believe I can stand to shed any more. But it's also the fact that she is receiving weird looks not just from my family members as they pack the car, but from the movers too. Who should clearly be doing their jobs, but seem to be more interested in my best friend's wailing. You could hear a few ' Damn she's acting like the girl died', and 'woo wee long legs is buggin out' from a distance.

Suddenly whipping her head to the side she defends herself by throwing a few profanities here and there as well. "You people act like you've never seen someone lose their other half!!" She shouts deranged-ly, then engulfing me in a bear hug.

We stay like that for about 30 more seconds before I began tapping out. Face buried deep into Bec's chest, she tightens her hold on me. Mind you her arms are cradling my head but instead of it being gentle, I'm in a vice grip. Causing me to squirm around even more. She clearly didn't get the idea that I needed fresh air because she continued on to say, "No!! That's it Nadi you're not going anywhere! They can't take you away from me" while whining.

After a few failed attempts at being set free, I settle on punching the shit outta her until she let's go. I make a punch-tickle combo; Guessing by the small shriek that comes from Rebecca, it's working. She quickly unravels her arms and I am set free. Finally able to retrieve all of the air that I've missed dearly to fill my lungs.

If I didn't take my pills today it would've been close to an accident but luckily I did. I glare up at Becs, "I thought....you wanted me here....and alive, not..dead and lifeless." I spoke towards her taking in deep breathes of air. Pausing in between words in attempts to get my thoughts across.

"Oh my god. Nadia my bad, I keep forgetting that you're so short." Letting her comment about my height slide, for now, I let her continue, "I'm just gonna miss you so much"

"I know.. I know, I'm gonna miss you too. It feels like just yesterday we walked out of graduation with our cap and gowns celebrating our success in graduating from that hell hole of a school." I say grinning up at her. Studying the crinkles around her eyebrows that is causing her face to twist in a bit of sorrow at the flashback. She seems as if she'll be on the brink of tears again. Laughing wholeheartedly, a genuine smile comes to my face as a reassuring way to say that we were going to be alright.

I finally hug her myself, we comfort each other until the very last moment until we part ways. Which legitimately means in two minutes I'll have to hop in the car. Pulling away from our embrace, looking back up at her with semi-glossy eyes. I heard a car pull up, and a male's voice calls Becs name from afar. Hearing feet hit gravel hard, but almost like a light jog. We feel a presence getting closer and closer, but there was no reason to panic because we already knew exactly who it was.

Without even turning to look at the young man currently next to us. Finally letting go of our hands, I gave her a knowing nod then walked off towards the family's minivan. Jumping in and buckling in my seat belt, I watch my best friend cuddle with the very love of her life. Smiling to myself, I'm glad she found what she's deserved for the longest. If she's happy then I'm happy for her.

He lifts his head from gazing lovingly at Rebecca and looks directly in my direction. Lifting his hand and waves he shouts from a distance amusingly "Hey! Good to know you're trying to leave without saying goodbye to your favorite person in the world."
