The Keeper

I believe I am the keeper for my best friend Kayla.She and I have danced together for a long time now and she is the closest thing I have to a sister. We spend a lot of time together even though our lives are pretty busy and we could get through anything together. We are in each others lives for the happiest and the hardest time and we go to each other for everything no matter how bad or embarrassing it may be. I will always be there for her whenever she needs me even if we someday lose touch because after everything we have gone through together she is my family.
