All my life, I wanted you

Prologue:
February 25, 2011. Me and my parents moved to another state. I was 11 when we moved to our new house. The neighborhood was big and a lot of children were there too, I didn't make any friends because they didn't want to play with me. I didn't mind at all but there was a day I'd never forget. I was walking down the street when Kian, the kid who really dislikes me pushed me, making me fall and hit the ground — Hard. I looked up at him, tears welling up in my eyes. He looked down at me with clear disdain on his face. "I didn't do anything wrong.. So why do you hate me..?" I mumbled as I wiped the tears away with my sleeve. He looked at me like I was crazy and shouted. "Well it's because you're a country bumpkin! You're weird!" I looked up at him and asked him, my voice coming out softly and small.. I was afraid. "Can't we just be friends...?" I glanced at his face to look for signs of negative reactions, His face looked unreadable and it scared me to the death. 'Have I said something that made him mad?' 'I never should've asked him that' those were the kinds of questions and thoughts that ran through my mind until he reached out his hand towards me. "Fine.. I'll be your friend.. But only because I'm really kind!" He grinned at me. And for the very first time, I had a friend...

Chapter 1, 1st page.
The first few weeks with Kian weren't that bad. He hung out with me and even helped me fit in with the other neighborhood kids.. He's my best friend without him I never would've been able to have friends if it weren't for him. We would go to the arcade after school and sometimes we would hang out in our tree house that we made, we would laugh and joke for hours. I felt myself enjoying the new neighborhood more than I can admit and that's all because of Kian.

I felt reassured more when I'm with him. I felt being myself around him and shared secrets with no worry of him judging me. We were THAT inseparable. 'I wish we never get seperated.' That's what I always think about when I'm with him. He's my first ever real friend and my first ever best friend. While I was lost in thoughts he looked up from his drawing and showed it to me. I looked at the paper in confusion. "What's this?" I asked Kian. He looked at me and grinned. "It's you!" He inquired. I stared at the paper, mesmerized. "I look like this?" I asked him while staring at the drawing completely immersed and curious on the art. "That's what you look like to me!" He says. I turned to look at him. 'This is how he look at me? It's beautiful..' I thought.

Suddenly he stood up and held out his hand towards me. "Come on! Let's go play!" Kian insists. I hesitated before letting him pull me up. We started walking towards te playground where the other kids were. I sat down on the corner as I watch Kian interact with the other kids. Then he noticed me sitting alone in the corner and approached me and sat down next to me. I stared at him and he kept giving me glances before saying. "You're creeping me out, Liam. Stop staring at me!" He said as he pouts. I found myself laughing because of his pout. He looked at me for a long time before laughing with me. "Why are you suddenly laughing you weirdo?" He said between laughs.

One of the wholesome and best memories I had with him...
