!!READ ALL DESCRIPTION FIRST!!
I was working my last day for the week of work w/mom & my coworker. It was an hour until closing & my phone says I missed 4 calls. My phone's on silent on the counter & I was in the dining room so I couldnt hear nor see it. I see a van drive up front, & thought I recognized someone but then thought "nah must be my imagination" & continued gathering dishes & wiping tables. Mom comes up & asks me if I want to close early, this isnt the first time mom asked if we should close the restaurant early, we rarely do it so long as the business was either slow/we had an appointment to not be late for. So I go "only if you wanna" cuz again, Imma bit lost. She then says "I think these guys would wanna leave early" & I see my favoritist person, Chris! & I SLAM him into the wall & give him hugs and try lifting him cuz I missed him. He & I was so happy. & mom said her & my coworker & all of them kept this a secret for awhile & I look at him & go "NO WONDER MY PHONE MISSED CALLS IT WAS YOU!" He showed me that he got me bday cake ice cream & he MADE my own bday cake. I loved it. I didnt eat it yet but he made it w/love & I loved it without tasting it yet!

Fast forward - I packed up, & I got to go hang w/him for more than ONE day this time like how he did LAST YEAR for my birthday; I hung out w/him for 2.5 days! & I know thats not a lot either but its better & we did more shit. We get to the hotel drop our shit/head out. We went bowling. TLDR, I won first game & he won 2nd/3rd games..bastard x3 we ate, got back, while his mother was out for the time he & I had a personal deep conversation on everything. Like everything I've been through this last year; the restaurant, my break up, deaths, money problems, stress in general..I broke down..I let my eyes waterfall. & he comforted me..I needed that release to be honest, i needed that. SOOO we hang, watch TV, got to go to the hotels pool to relax, nibbled & snuggled in for the night. :3

Next day- we slept in, ate, did some detouring to different places. We originally wanted to go to the zoo we went last year, but they had stricter rules this year, tried going to a pumpkin patch, but it was packed, so I suggested going to a candy store near by. We bought things there & we had our favorite; Superman ice cream!  We went to a place I always tell Chris about that has good pizza. I wanted him to try cuz he has an addiction to pizza. I had a gyro pizza, his mother had a burger pizza & of course he had a plain cheese. Chris DOWNS A FULL 14 INCH PIZZA!!...I told you he has an addiction xD there was also a retro gaming store next to the pizza place, we went in. I got stickers & Chris got two games. I bought all them cuz I wanted to treat him nicely since he took the time to come see me :3 so we got home, got settled, I cried again from more shit, as if on que, which I shouldnt be saying but Im a big baby so I know how this goes, he snuggled & comforted me til I relaxed, Got to listen to his progress audio for a video he's making, then we made something(& no Im not telling you that cuz itll come when it comes on my channel). After that we snuggled in again, watched terrible wrestling & went to bed. Last day- slept in a little, I fell off the bed & I was shaky from the fall, was In pain, took meds, felt better within an hour, began crying MORE due to both the pain & the fact he was leaving soon. We pack things up, & head to my town. His mom & my mom chatted while he & I did a walk around town. Relaxing & calm..I kept tearing up. We had a meaningful chat. & headed back to my place. He got to meet my cats & he got to see my neighbors dog & meet some of our friends from the community. & of course, it was the dreaded time to leave. I kept hugging & snuggling & gripping & crying, knowing I WILL see him again, but idk WHEN. Now when I tell y'all that, due to my last year of stress I had since he last came, & I kept saying "don't leave, you are the only thing keeping me happy right now" it'll make YOU tear up too. We said our goodbyes & I love yous..And he was gone..

Wow this last year was shit & somehow, from 2.5 days of spending time w/my best friend of nearly a decade, I was happy again.
Thanks for coming Chris! I love & miss you already :'3
