      " Sierra wake up Xavier is here he's really here!!" My mother squealed excitedly. I shot up immediately and went running to my bathroom. My hair was sticking up in weird places so I brushed it and put it in a simple ponytail.  I took a shower and brushed my teeth. I wasn't wearing makeup but my skin was clear so I just put on mascara and I went to put on some white jeans with rips in the knees and a purple sweater. I wasn't wearing shoes but, my toes were  a cute royal blue so I decided to stay barefoot.

       I looked at my reflection in the body mirror. I looked okay. But, I could tell I was nervous. So I took deep breaths and counted to ten.

    Even though it didn't work I still put a smile on my face and made my way to the living room. With each step my pulse pounded in my ears like an ocean. My lungs were slowly slowly giving up on me so my breaths were coming out as struggling wheezes. 

   I was finally in the living room and it felt like my heart stopped when I saw him. He was looking at me. Right at me.

          Pure love in his eyes.

I felt relief flow  through my body like wind. I smiled at him, still trying to contain my excitement. He's here and he's actually happy to see me!

He walked over to me. Standing close to me. So close that I could smell him. He smelled just like I remembered. Fresh basked chocolate chip cookies and a hint of vanilla.

I stood there and marveled at his beauty. The way his face was structured perfectly by God. His curly hair that shines in the light. His beautiful full lips that looked so kissable, and his eyes.

Those mesmerizing eyes.

"Hey you" he says before pulling me into a hug. I hug him back immediately inhaling his scent like it was life support.

I shed tears of joy. He's back. My Best Friend is finally back! He let go of me too soon for my liking.

I looked at him with a confused expression. "My girlfriend isn't too fond of me hugging other girls."

On cue Ava walked up to Moon and kissed him greedily. My throat clogged up and I fought the tears that wanted to break free.

After their kiss it's like something in Xavier changed. The love in his eyes were replaced by pure hatred.
