There Is No Me Without You

I thought packing all this shit up was bad but unpacking was torture, my mum had things in one place and then in another to then move it back to the original spot again. At the moment she had me holding a picture frame in place while she examined it for the millionth time, "Seriously mum, just let me go to bed! I've been standing here for 10 minutes. I'll just end up dropping it!" I moaned while loosening my grip on it a little "you dare drop it that was your Dai's until I stole it, so suck it up and carry it to my room I want it there instead." I brought the picture down from where I was holding it up and walked up to her room with it placing it on her bed I walked out and into my newly unpacked room, the best thing about this move was that we didn't have to decorate, we had people do it for us before we got here making this whole process quicker and easier for my mum and I. I looked around the room and smiled just how I wanted it, black feature wall with white surrounding walls and red patterns running through the white, everything was perfect the bed looked amazing looked so comfy and soft I couldn't wait to jump into that fluffy looking heaven, but first I had to get out of these clothes and into my pajamas. I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled it open searching my clothes for my Nightmare Before Christmas pajamas, once I located them I pulled them out and walked towards the window to close the blinds. One thing about me is that I don't care who you are I will undress in front of you if I trust you enough, but in this case not so much I didn't want people perving on me through the window. Walking towards the window I noticed that I could see into the neighbours bedroom, which was creepy in a sense I didn't want to see what went on in my neighbours room. I reached to pull the cord for the blinds to go down when I saw Brian jamming out with a guitar, seeming lost in his own little world. I couldn't pull the blinds down instead I sat on the window ledge and watched as his fingers glided over the neck of the guitar. He seemed like he was in his element like he was born to play, I found myself getting lost just watching him. I watched him dance around his room with a look of sheer bliss covering his face when suddenly he stopped and looked straight at me, I was like a deer caught in headlights I didn't know what to do, should I throw myself off the window ledge and pretend he never saw me, or do I wave and smile and pretend that I wasn't watching him? "Gemma?" I could hear his muffled voice through my closed window, I looked over and smiled and stood to open the window, great the only person I actually know is going to think I'm a weirdo and probably never speak to me again. "Hey neighbour, fancy meeting you here?" Brian laughed as he sat on his window ledge, he was that close to me I could literally touch him, I could smell his aftershave wafting from his room. "Hey Brian, I wasn't you know like watching you i was closing my blinds" I jumped on the defence straight away. Brian shook his head and chuckled "nah its cool, I saw you watching for that 10 minutes. Thought I would put on a show for you." He was cocky and I liked it he reminded me of Jason, always the dickhead but in the best way. "Really I was sitting here for 10 minutes, ain't you lucky. I can't sit for 10 seconds so consider yourself privileged" I joked and flicked my hair over my shoulder in a mocking manner "Oh sassy, I like it. So since were here and were literally best friends now, tell me about yourself. "Ok well, I'm 18. I'm Scottish, I am an animal lover preferably dogs. I love rock and 80's music, I like having wacky hairstyles and weird colours to go with it. I am a kickboxer, I love reading and writing and I don't have any siblings and my dad died of cancer a year ago." I was doing good until the last part, I could feel the lump getting stuck in my throat. I wouldn't usually just blurt personal things like that out to people, but Brian was different, he seemed trusting enough to talk to about it, plus he was the only friend I had right now. I looked over at him and he seemed to look upset "Is that why you moved here? Because your dad died?" his voice was soft and sincere, I looked at the brick at the side of his head and nodded, I saw him lower his head too whilst nodding "I'm sorry Gemma I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I lost one of my parents, I thought watching them go through divorce was bad. But hey, I'm here for you, if you need anything or even to chat I'm right here. Literally." I looked back to his face and he was smiling a brilliant smile almost contagious, I could feel myself smiling back at him " thanks Brian. So you going to tell me a bit about yourself, fairs fair. after all I told you about myself." I laughed and swung myself around so my feet were dangling off the side of the window. "Ok, ok. I suppose its only fair. Well, I'm 18 also, I'm American as you can tell, I love dogs, my favourite colour is purple. I love walking and surfing on the beach, I like martial arts things like Judo. I am in a band and I play guitar for said band with my best friends, but as of right now we don't have a name and our genre is rock slash metal. And thats is me." he finished with a grin, I nodded so that's why he was so good at guitar he plays in a band, it all makes sense now. I was about to ask him what his school was like when I yawned almost causing e to fall off the window ledge, "someones tired, I'll let you go. I need to hit the sack too. I take it you will want that tour of the town tomorrow?" he asked as he stood up from the spot he was sat "yeah that would be great Brian thanks." I nodded as i swung my legs back into my bedroom and standing up also I turned to face him, "Ok ool, leave your bedroom window open and I'll shout for you tomorrow morning or afternoon whenever I wake up. I'll text my friends and get them to meet us. G'night Gemma, sweetdreams" he smiled ad winked as he walked away from his window leaving it open for me to get a clear view of him as he took his top off. I smiled and shook my head, today has been a really good day. I changed quickly into my pajamas and jumped into bed, I turned to face the window to make sure I left it open ad thats when i seen Brian lying on his bed with his eyes closed. Not only can I see into his bedroom I can see him sleeping and vice versa. I had a feeling that I was going to like Brian, I could feel the start of a great friendship brewing. I smiled and closed my eyes and soon darkness took over.
