It's Hard to Say 'I Miss You.'

I waited another two minutes or so, until someone finally opened the door.
“Hi. Can I help you?” I turned around,
“Hello.” I stated simply.
“Lizzy?”
“The one and only.” I smiled,
“Liz!” Jade grabbed me in a bone crushing hug.
“Oh my gosh. I can’t believe you are here. Come inside.” She pulled my into her house before I could say anything more.

“What are you doing here?” She questioned, after pulling me to the couch.
“I’m here for the reunion.”
“Really? Well, I wasn’t going to go, but I will now!” She laughed.

“You don’t have to go, just because of me.”
“No. No. No. I’m going.” I smiled,
“It would help if you were there.” We both smiled.
“So. Where are you staying?” She questioned.
“The hotel, just down the road. I haven’t checked in yet, but I wanted to say ’hi’.” She shrieked,

“Hotel? No. You are staying here.”
“No. I don’t want to intrude.”
“You are not intruding, it’s not intruding if your being forced to stay here anyway. It’s kidnapping.” I laughed,
“Okay. If you say so.”
“I do say so.” I smiled,
“Should I get my bags?”
“Oh. Yeah! I’ll go help you and then we can order pizza and stay up all night and talk.”

“Sounds great. I haven’t stayed up all night in a while, just to talk.” Jade laughed, I think at me.
“Really? Wow, I do it all the time! Well, let’s get going. We have a lot to talk about.”
“Okay.”

We got up to get the bags, and Jade pulled me into another hug,
“It’s really good to see you Lizzy.”
“You too.” I said, before we walked outside to get my bags.
