My brother's best friend

-Raelynn pov- *Past* I have never interacted much with my brother's friends. Whenever he used to invite them over, I would either rush to my room or do anything I could to avoid bumping into anyone. It seems my luck wasn't on my side that particular day. The day everything changed. I had just returned from school in the evening. My mother hurried inside to pick up her ringing phone while I stayed behind to take off my shoes. I stood behind the front door when suddenly, it started to open. I thought it was my father as no one had rang the bell. stayed behind until it fully opened and rushed out to scare the person I thought was my father, but it wasn't. It was my brothers best friend. Our eyes locked. A few seconds went by, and for me, time felt like it had stopped. There he stood, looking absolutely gorgeous in the most boring t-shirt and jeans I had ever seen. A few more seconds went by, and I came to my senses. I backed up and apologised to him. Then he did it. just for a moment, he smiled at me. The smile that I would go to Mars and back cycling just to see for a few more seconds. He went past me towards my brother's room, and I stayed there standing, awestruck. *present* I stopped zoning out just as I heard the pilot announce that we had reached our destination. I took my things and started to make my way to the airport. It had been exactly 6 years since I last saw my family and him. As I was walking, I called my brother. "Where are you?" I asked. "Okay, so, don't be mad, but I kind of had something urgent come up, so I can not pick you up." "Seriously??!! What can be more important than your own sister???" I asked, enraged. I know, I know I apologise, but I sent someone else to pick you up." he said. "And who might that be? I didn't know you had friends." I said in a mocking tone. "I don't, I sent my only friend." he replied while laughing. "Who?" "Aiden." Just as he said that, I saw him standing in the crowd. After 6 long years..... My brother's best friend
