Connected

She stood at the "Arrivals" section of the airport, waiting anxiously. When is he coming? Wither rolled on the heels of her feet and smoothed down the wrinkles of her shirt. She gripped her phone in her hands alert for any signs of him approaching.

She went through a million possibilities and scenarios in her head to why he's late, if hes late. The cold air bit her exposed cheeks and knees, she rubbed down the length of her legs for some heat.

Victor and Wither had known each other for years. Since they met on the internet at 13, till now, age 18, they would always be together, texting, calling, facetiming, any form of communication or activity they would always do it together.

Somtimes it wouldnt be alone, it would be with their friends they met along the way, Xander, Niomi and Sedric were their closest friends. Xander and Victor were friends in real life since pre-school.

Wither met Niomi and Sedric first, before that Wither was awkward online but Niomi and Sedric were the angels to guide her. But when the trio met the duo Wither and Victor bonded and got along quickly.

Eventually they developed a mutal crush on each other but were too shy to say or mention anything similar.

After like 5 years of friendship, the first pair of friends to meet from online would be Wither and Victor.

The phone in Withers hand lit up. She briefly read the message that was sent by...Victor.

"on my way ;)"

Butterflies of nerves erupt in her stomach. She set the phone to her side while it slowly dawned on her that she finally will meet her best friend of 5 years in just a few minutes.

Suddenly her heart is beating 100x faster and her hands begin to sweat. "Flight 420 will enter through shortly" a voice says through the speaker. Wither sits up straighter and looks around for a familiar dark haired boy. Easy to say with a million other dark haired boys around.

Her eyes lock with the gate where they're suppose to come through, worried she'll miss his arrival. And then the doors slide smoothly open and groups of people begin walking through to their families on the other side.

Wither takes a few steps forward and then her gaze is locked with a boy. Her heart takes a leap while her mind buzzes with confusion and excitement. He grins and starts running towards her. She knows. Victors is here.

She jogs towards him and they collide into a tight firm hug. Tears begin to well up in her eyes. After years of together, yearing to see and touch each other the moment is here. Of all the adjectives in the world none could describe this feeling. His voice is like a soft memory, "Hey there" she looks up from his shoulder and stares into his eyes, cant help but choking back a sob, "Hi Victor."
