My Best Friend
Okay let me first start out by explaining my best friend do everyone. I have a lot of really good friends but I have only 1 best friend. A lot of my friends are awesome and I do love them all. But when it comes to my Best Friend there is only 1. His name is Devon Gregory Rich. Let me tell you about Devon. I have known Devon since I was a little boy and I hated him SO much because he used to be SO annoying and I just couldn't stand him. As we grew older he didn't annoy me as much he actually started to annoy Brandt more haha which is funny because he and Brandt were really good friends when we were young.
So we grew up and became better friends and better friends. We started to do everything together. We would ride bikes together we would play ball together we would get our air soft guns out and shoot things together. We were inseparable. I would always go down to their house on Friday nights and we would have pizza movie night where we would go to Papa Murphys over by Fred Meyer and get a Chicken and Garlic ranch pizza and we would come home and bake it and watch a movie and I would spend the night there all the time. That quickly came to a Halt when his Dad decided they were going to move to Missouri. This was a SHOCK to me I FREAKED out and decided that I was going to spend every night there till they moved. So that's what we did if I didn't spend the night there he would come up to my house and spend the night here. We had so much fun all the time.
Devon left to go to EFY in Florida with his cousins and then fly back to Missouri where he would live. When Devon went to the airport in the morning my Mom, Me, Courtney Blakley, Brandt Elison, and a few other people went to say good bye to him. Devon I have to tell you is not much of a touchy feely kind of person he is more of a *shakes hand to say 'see you in a year or two'* well he snapped out of that habit pretty quickly because he knew that he wasn't going to see a lot of them for a long while. He gave everyone a hug and then it was my turn. He tried to shake my hand.......Me being the youngest and only boy in a family of girls is kind of Touchy Feely and hugs a lot and shows their emotion lets just say that....this was not okay with me. I gave him a huge hug and then he went on his way with his Frozen Creme Puffs in hand. some people started crying as we watched him walk away. My mom had something for him but forgot to give it to him. ( i think it was a letter or something) anyway I whistled and ran it over to him. He said to me "Are you going to come to my house in Missouri with my parents?" I looked at his parents and said "Hopefully if they will let me." and they left and I ran back to our group.
On the way home from the airport a few people started crying which made it even harder for me to not cry (be being the tough guy 'oh I'm not going to cry crying is for sissies') So I just sat there holding on to Courtney Blakley because she was bawling her eyes out (she hated Devon and thought he was annoying but there was something there I could tell but that's another story for another time) We got home and I went inside. I got a phone call from a pay phone and I didn't recognize the number so I was about to not answer it. But then my need for answering and talking on my phone (as you know i am addicted) Kicked in and I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Your not on your plane yet?"
"No it was delayed for a half an hour."
"Oh that's a bummer."
"Yeah"
"So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know I guess just talk to you or something."
(me wanting to talk to him didn't pass up the opportunity) so we talked and then he had to go because his plane was coming in he said:
"Do you remember my shelf in my room the one that's next to my window kind of?"
"Yeah?" "Why?"
"There is a gift card and a letter that I want you to take to Joy (his ex)"
"Okay."
"I'll call you when I land somewhere I can get to a pay phone."
"Okay, Be careful."
"Okay."
"Talk to you later"
"K, Bye"
I went and laid down on my bed and lets just say I LOST IT!!
We were all down at their house that day supporting a garage sale that they were having to get rid of some of their things when the conversation came up about me going to Missouri with them.
I asked Simone what I would have to do to be able to go with them and she told me to ask my mom and if I could get a plane ticket to get home and if I would drive some of the time on the way there I could go. I IMMEDIATELY called my mom and said CAN I GO PLEASE CAN I GO. (I had already saved most of the money that I would need to get a plane ticket. And it turned out that I could go. I WAS SO HAPPY TO LEAVE THIS PLACE AND GO SEE MY BEST FRIEND AGAIN. We drove for 4 days and I got a lot of pictures of everything on the way out there.
When we got there Devon didn't know that I got to come along. Simone was tired when we hit the border and I started driving and I was told to follow the moving van and truck and get there as soon as I could. The whole time I was so happy that I got to go I was right behind the two. When we got there I drove in the driveway and Simone was like YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO GO ALL THE WAY!! so I just pulled up behind the moving van and we switched places. Devon came out to greet his family and tell them how his trip went and I came from behind and while he was telling them how long the flight was I chimed in and said "IT TOOK US 4 DAYS TO GET HERE AND YOU HAD A LONG FLIGHT" he turned around and was not amused. We talked for a little while and I wanted him to show me part of Holts Summit. So we got the bikes off the bike rack and rode our bikes up the street. At first it was hard to breathe there because it is so humid but I quickly got used to it. (I like the humidity) We rode our bikes about 2 miles I think and we saw McDonalds and I said HEY is this like the middle of town or something. And he said we just rode through all of Holts Summit. THAT WAS IT I said. Yep its really small. HAHAHAHA THAT IT IS...
I don't really like the fact that Devon moved to Missouri and that he had to move so soon. I wish he could have stayed a little bit longer. I left there after a while and he couldn't come to the airport with us because he had FOOTBALL OH COME ON I'M WAY MORE IMPORTANT GEEZ (sorry Kiley if your reading this but its true) ANYWAY I turned into what my sisters made me...an Emotional child (NO not EMO just emotional in that I started crying non stop) I started crying non-stop. We had to stop at the gas station to get some snacks and fill up the take and I was sitting in the back of the car and Simone went into the store and Brianna was sitting in the Passenger seat and we both got all quiet and out of nowhere Brianna (not having seen me start crying) Said STOP CRYING GEEZ you haven't even left yet. I got even worse and was like Why wouldn't your dad let him come I mean really I am way more important then him going to his stupid football practice. Anyway we got to the airport and I was on my way. Bawling on the airplane the whole time and on my way to Denver. I called them when I got to Denver and when I got to the Salt Lake City airport. It was COLD when I got to Utah I WAS FREEZING. I went to the family reunion that we had there and called Devon every day I had cellphone reception.
Needless to say when my best friend left it was really hard on me. I'm not going to write anymore because I have written enough. Thank you for reading and Stay Tuned there will be more :D
