I finish packing some clothes into a duffle bag and set it by the door. I look out my window into Carters. I can't believe we will be going to collage tomorrow. Carter is driving us and we rented a appartment together because why not we are together most of the time anyways what could go wrong. It seems like forever ago his family moved in next door. For as long as Carter and I have been best friends
When we were younger our parents said we were attached at the hip as we did everything together. During summer breaks I Practically lived at his house and we had sleep overs all the time, until we reached high school and our parents didn't think it was appropriate but we would often sneak through eachother's windows when drunk/sad or movie night I would just fall asleep and tell my parents I slept in the guest room. We have never done anything other than cuddle or hug and when we were younger hold hands, occasionally I would sit on his lap if we were out drinking at a party or at a game.
He's always been my person I can rely on. In 8th grade when Jason dumped me, Carter left his own date or hook up to bring me Ben and Jerry's chocolate brownie ice cream and watch crime documentaries all night and held me while I cried myself to sleep, because I thought I wasn't good enough and he said I'm more than enough.
Some say he's a bad influence as he's the biggest player around never with the same girl more then a few days and doesn't date.
Then theres me who is a down to earth Tom boy who was a late bloomer and can't keep a long term relationship and is a 19 year old virgin and never been kissed where everyone I know lost it at 15. I haven't told anyone that I'm still haven't been touched not even Carter knows. Many people say I should have more girl friends that he's a bad influence, others say we would be the perfect couple. I think I'm so lucky to have a friend I know I can always count on and nothing can ever change that, yet I can't shake the feeling that everything is about to change. Carter turns around and waves at me before I turn off my light and lay down to go to sleep.
