Someone to Love

He looked at her, she looked at him and somehow by instinct they both started to sing loudly, "Is you is, or is you ain't my baby!" before laughing hysterically at each other. They often found themselves completing each other sentences, or one could be thinking something and the other would say it. The connection between Frey and Drea was so different for the both of them they thought it was weird till they would keep testing it to see if perhaps it was a fluke. To make matters even more interestingly, the two often would be dressed in similar color coordination when going out and never even communicated with the other about what they where going to wear.

Frey and Drea could spend all day talking to each other about different things and never be bored or repeat of conversation. They enjoyed each other corny jokes as if they had known each other for years rather than a few weeks. It was as if they were destined to meet. When night time came and the two would be parting ways, Frey would drive home in such speed just to get on the phone with Drea till they both fell asleep. Nothing and no one else mattered because to them-they finally have a friend.

Who knew that two people with ten years of age between them would be similar in life; it was as if they lived parallel lives to each. The same shows Drea watched as a child, Frey watched as a teenager. The same music Drea listen to in school Frey listen to as an adult. Again, can't believe how much they have in common, they continued to test each other before laughing out loud. Things like this went on for quite a while until one day they were to go on an outing and Frey suggested that Drea go alone. Reluctant to do so Drea kept inquiring to Frey,

"Are you sure you don't want to go?"

"Are you sick?" " You know I don't mind staying and helping out with whatever it is," Drea said, with hopes that Frey would heed the offer and say stay but Frey just replied,

"No, you go ahead and I will talk with you later."

"In fact," stated Frey, "Why don't you call me when you are done and let me know how everything went."

With a faint smile, Drea proceeded to leave from Frey resident. She begin to wonder in thought, "Did I do something or say something wrong?" Numerous of questions going through Drea mind creating emotions of fear, anxiety and rejection. "Am I about to be alone again?" The ultimate hand Drea dreaded placed a paralysis on any movement and train of thought she had.

(Beep! Beep!) the sound of other motorists honking their horn at Drea who was lost in a trance at a traffic light that had turned green. Startled by the blurring horns of the other motorist, Drea pressed on the gas causing the vehicle wheels to squeal at take off. Too disturbed by the fact that Frey was not going to the schedule event they planned; Drea begin to drive home. Once reaching there, Drea went inside the apartment that was dimly lit by the light over the stove and went to the only place that always awaited with darkness and spects of light shining through partially open blinds; the bed.

Oh how it awaited with wide open arms and fragrant fluffy pillows dressed in soft colorful pillow cases made of cotton to catch the tears of emotional thoughts of fear. Tears scrolled down backwards, racing to fill Drea ear lobe while laying staring up at the ceiling. The repeated lies that have been rehearsed for years tapped dance through Drea mind,

"You are not good enough!"

"Nobody likes you."

"You're boring!"

"Aha! thought you had a friend!"

No one ever actually said those things but because of always being alone growing up and the only time someone was around was when they needed Drea to fill a void or assist them; Drea had come to believe the tainted lies that crippled life of a lot of people many times. After silently crying in a speckled light of a room of darkness; Drea in the a tear filled pillow drifted off to sleep with her heart desire of someone to love.

(3 hours later) "ring! ring! ring!"

Deep in a sleep of sadness Drea can not hear the phone ringing and the name of the caller is Frey.
