Chapter 5

L's POV YEAR 2200

" she said and kept going " I promise that what's mine is yours, and what's my significant other's is also yours by default. I promise to love you...even when I hate you. I promise to still accept you even when you get all dark and twisty. I promise to always be your biggest cheerleader, especially when you are your own worst enemy. And most of all, I promise to be your person, and I promise that you are mine." She finished and smiled at me while she held out hands as if we were getting married " ok I guess it's my turn" "yes it is" we giggled and I started mine off "Dear Best Friend,

Please know that you are forever and always my go-to person. You brighten my days and you flip my world right side up when it's upside down. You rejoice in my accomplishments and you stand by me through my failures. You provide me with a joy that could never be surpassed. Regardless of how you help me, there are some things that I need you to understand; things that I am forever obligated to do because of who you are to me. I want to make these 15 promises to you, and please always hold me accountable" I looked at her and she nodded for me to continue so I did"I promise to always hold your hand. I promise to never judge you. I promise to give you my best advice. I promise to be down for crazy adventures. I promise to support you in all you do. I promise to cry with you. I promise to be there when you need me. I promise to protect your secrets like they're my own." I stopped to take a breath then I looked deep into her eyes and with as much power but still being calm and soft "I promise to protect you at all times."  She smiled and gripped my hands tightly and I kept going "I promise to never bite my tongue. I promise to never tell you to not do the stupid thing. I promise to let you be wild. I promise to push you further. I promise to love you unconditionally." I finished and she looked confused because I know why. I didn't say the last promise " what's the last one" "it's this one" I kissed her softly she was surprised but she kissed me back. I pulled away a few seconds" I promise to marry you one day" I smiled while she was blushing heavily but her parents called her over " I-I have to go" she said sadly but she kissed my cheek then ran to them. I knew I was smiling like an idiot but eh who cares.
