Nicholas J-Allen Swota is far more than just a best friend to me. Since 9th grade I've considered him my brother. We have been friends since Middle School, but when I was going through a really sad, lonely time in my life Nick sat down next to me and promised me that he'd be there for me as a brother. Until then I had grown up as an only child, so the idea of having an older brother excited me. I never imagined that the promise he made me would last as long as it has. See, a year and a half after Nick made that promise to me his family moved to Colorado. I never thought I'd see him again, but a note he left on my door to me and my mother promising that he'd return left me with hope. Another year passed by, and all of my friends kept trying to assure me that Nick was gone, and he wasn't coming back. I knew he was. Then, one day, Nick came back just as I said he would. I remember running through the school hallway, completely ignoring a hall monitor yelling at me to slow down, wrapping my arms around him and crying. From that moment until about a year ago Nick and I spent every weekend together. After a while he began calling my mom "mom" and my dad "dad" and in turn they referred to him as their son. Everything was going well until my mom started dating her newest boyfriend, Kevin. That's when my mom stopped caring about me, Nick, her friends, her family, her health, self appearance, and so on. All that mattered to her was her relationship with Kevin, and money. That's when Nick stepped up to the plate. He began taking care of me when ever I was sick, and taking me to the doctors when I needed it. I remember one night I fell down our friend's stairs, landing right on top of my ankle, and he picked me up and carried me all the way home. Mom brought me to the hospital that night, and even though Nick had to wake up at five in the morning the next day for work, he stayed with me to make sure I was okay and that nothing was broken. When Nick got his own apartment, and things between my mother and I started getting completely out of control, I stayed with him. We bought our own food, and payed for our own gas. But after a while it got to be too much for us. Nick moved into our friends house, and I had to move back in with my mom, but he still drove to my house every day, just to go out and get dinner or to spend the afternoon at the mall. Two months ago, during the last week I was staying at my mom's house, my mom began accusing my friends of stealing, she began accusing me of stealing from my own house, I found out that she was smoking pot even though she completely denied it to my face, I found out that she had been pregnant twice by her scumbag boyfriend, and that she was stealing my child support money to pay for his shit (of course he doesn't have his own job). I tried to leave, but my mom wouldn't let me. She was, in a sense, holding me hostage within my own home. Nick called my dad, told my dad the situation, and my dad told Nick that he didn't want me to leave his sight. So Nick stole me away to stay where he was staying for the night, and then the next day helped me pack up my things and leave. He's been there for me through the hardest time in my life. He's helped me more than anyone has ever helped me. He makes me laugh with his whacky sense of humor, even if I don't feel like laughing. He listens to me, even when I'm making a big deal over nothing. Needless to say we've gotten in numerous fights. We worry about each other a lot. We try to keep each other out of trouble, and steer each other away from boyfriends or girlfriends that we find unsuitable for the other (we're both so stubborn about this, but usually realize that the other was right in the end.). We don't see eye to eye about a lot of things, and there have been instances where we haven't talked for a few days because of it, but it never lasts. We simply can't stay mad at each other. We forgive each other, move on, and laugh about it later. It's just one of our little "sibling rivalries". Nick is my best friend. I couldn't imagine life without him, and I wouldn't trade him in for the entire world. I don't know how I got so lucky as to have someone like him in my life.

Flat out, she's my best friend ever. I was friends with someone from when I was 4 until I was 19 but that friendship doesn't even come close to my friendship with Stacy. I would do, and have done, anything for her and she's been there for me unconditionally in these last few months when I've had the worst time. We have the best time whenever we're together. If you're around us when we're together, I can guarantee you won't be bored. We do some pretty silly things, but it's always in the interest of fun. Last year we wanted to play kick ball but 1. it was cold outside and 2. it was only 3 of us, so we played "kick it at each other" instead (ok so it was really just mini kickball lol but it sounded better when we called it that) and we played in the hallway of my dorms because our floors are in the shape of an 8 (but with square corners obv) so we played around my end! It was so fun and we got written up, but it was worth it. We were room mates freshman year for the first semester and chose to be again last year too. Unfortunately, she transferred last year after the fall semester. She came back in April and stayed with me the whole time. We went out one night and a girl who knew she was there for a certain reason, started a fight with her and I was LIVID. Anyway, I told her that if she had some problem with her, she should take it up with me because Stacy's had to go through enough emotionally, she didn't need the physical stuff either, and I could handle it. Yeah, well she choked me and punched me (ha not hard! didn't even leave a mark the next) in the face a few times (we weren't fighting back for the sake of the reason she was visiting), but I'd go through it again if I had to, I'd do anything so that she doesn't have to hurt. Maybe I could be seen as a little protective of her, but she's my best friend and she's the same way with me. We still call each other roomies because we define that word, we weren't just two people who lived together, we were best friends and it honestly felt like a slumber party every night. We were told the first week of freshman year (when we'd just met) that we were too close to be room mates, the person didn't believe us. I've never had a friend mean so much to me or had so much fun with anyone in my life. Like I said, simply put, she really is my best friend.
