The first thing I'd like to point out is that I'm not an idiot. I make good grades, I pride myself on my never ending common sense. Many a person has told me that I'm intelligent. I'm not some egotistical teenager though. I know I have my moments.

The second thing I'd like to point out is that, knowing that I'm not an idiot, I didn't really expect him to stay here forever. He was intelligent, far more intelligent than myself. He had goals; he wanted to be a journalist, he wanted to see the world, he wanted to live in some secluded mountain area and just look at the trees. So no, I didn't honestly think he was going to stay forever.

And the last thing I'd like to point out is that I sincerely did not think he was going to confess his never dying love for me. It just doesn't work that way in real life. I knew it wasn't going to happen. Like I said, I'm not an idiot.

Watching my best friend, my confidant, the closest thing I've had to a second half of my soul, pack his bags into his car made me uneasy. He really was leaving, he really wasn't going to stay here.

"That all?" His father asked while he handed his son a jacket. It wasn't that cold outside, was it?

"Think so. Thanks dad." After a quick manly hug that had me grinning, his father disappeared into the house and all that was left was the two of us. He sighed, leaning against the front door of the car.

"You're awfully quiet, ket." Ket. That was what he called me. Ket. It tasted funny on my tongue; ket. I've never said it, not aloud. It was his nickname for me.

"Sorry, tek." Tek. That was what I called him. Tek. My sister called us ying and yang, that was why our nicknames were so similar. They were, weren't they? Simple tek and simply ket.

He rubbed a hand over his face, looking weary and unsure for the first time in a very long time. Maybe since forever. He was always smiling, always laughing. The center of attention, but not in a bad way. He just had this presence about him, a way to make everyone else feel so much better.

He opened his arms up towards me and I made my way slowly over to him. With what I hoped was a reassuring smile, I leaned into him and let him wrap his arms around me. He smelled like exotic fruits. I never asked him why he smelled like that. I figured that it was just him.

"Worried?" He shrugged, the movement making my body move with his, I was shrugging too. Maybe in response to my question. Was I worried? That he'd forget me, that he'd never come home? Of course.

"Just wondering how this is gonna end, ya know?" I nodded, pressing my face closer to his shoulder. Maybe I could pretend it wasn't really happening. Maybe I could disappear into the folds of his shirt, stay with him forever.

We stood silent for a while, thinking over everything I suppose. I was wondering when I fell completely for him. I've always loved him. But when did friendship love turn into this one-sided romantic love?

"Everything is going to change now, isn't it?" He pulled away from me and stared into my eyes, searching for any hidden meanings. He had a habit of doing that. Of making sure I wasn't lying to him, for him.

"It doesn't have to. I'll be back in a few months. We'll still be best friends, ket. I'm not going to leave you forever. I can't."

I sighed and pressed my face into his shirt again. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, squeezing me to the point where I thought that breathing wasn't important, nor possible. And then it happened.

No, we didn't kiss. I told you, it doesn't work like that in real life. My body began to shake as I tried to hold in my tears, but I've never been good at it. So, body wracking with silent sobs, I gripped onto his arms tighter than anything ever before. Pulling him closer, I tried to keep my cool. I wanted to tell him that I loved him but I didn't want to make this anymore awkward than it already was.

"Shh, shh. Calm down, I'll be back. I'll always come back. This is my home. This is me."

My body was soothed, my heart and mind not so much. Breathing in through my nose and out of my mouth, I smiled sadly up at him. He was beautiful in every way.

"Not anymore, tek. The world is now you." With one last sniffle and one last bone crushing hug, I made my way towards my house, four down from his.

That day, I watched my best friend, my confidant, the closest thing I've had to a second half of my soul, drive out of our small home town. Headed and destined for great things, I could only send up silent farewells.

The first thing I'd like to point out was that I knew he wasn't going to profess his undying love for me. In real life, it didn't work that way. The girl doesn't always get the guy. She usually has to watch him walk away.

The second thing I'd like to point out was that I knew he wasn't going to stay here forever. He had goals and he was going places. He was going to do everything he wanted to and more, and strive at everything he tried.

The las thing I'd like to point out was that I was an idiot. No matter what else I've said, know that I was an idiot. For not telling him when I had the chance that he meant more to me than anyone else ever has.

As I watched his car turn the corner of our street, headed towards everything else in the world, I realized something that made my heart feel heavy.

Even if he came back, he wasn't coming back for me.

And that day, I made a desicion. I was going to do something with my life. I wasn't sure just yet, but I knew I was going to do something.

Something that maybe, just maybe, would make him see me. See me, really.

A/N: I sincerely have NO idea where this came from.
I started typing the next chapter of We The Dreamers but this came out instead.
Whoops?
Hope it was worth it.
Reviews would be awesome.
Yes, I know that I have no real names in here.
I don't really know why.
This may partially be inspired by a friend who has decided to go travel the world.
I'm really going to miss him.
Anywho... let me know?
