Spoken Words

Without Sawyer

After my incredible journey with the Patts family, I asked if I could stay here forever because they were so loving and caring. "Oh, I guess I didn't tell you," Christian stuttered, "We are going to adopt you. Our family needs you to be in our family Jax!" A smile appeared and my face turned bright red. So now I was officially part of a real family, a family who actually cared for me. A couple months later, we moved into a much bigger and better home. It was a huge mansion, a much bigger mansion than the previous house we lived in before. Now I lived closer to my friends, especially Sawyer who lives in a foster home. He told me that his "parents" weren't going to take care of him and he had new foster parents waiting for him in New York. "But, but, you," my voice trailed off "You can't go! I'm not gonna let you." "It's too late," he mumbled " They've already signed all the paperwork and everything. I'm sorry." he looked at me, " I'm sorry." On that very day I went to my room and just sat on the floor. I just sat there and did nothing. I kept thinking that I was going to fall into depression again, but I didn't want to. After all I've gone through I wasn't going to go through that again. The next day when I woke up, I got ready for school as fast as I could and sprinted out the door without saying goodbye before I left. I didn't even bother to take a snack. Since I was the most popular person in my grade everyone always surrounds me, they always do and it's super annoying especial if I'm trying to reach a friend of mine. "Sawyer! Sawyer!" I couldn't see him. "No no no!Cmon Sawyer you can't be gone, you just can't be." I started sprinting through the mob of people. Faster,Faster! I eventually gave up on searching. Without Sawyer I couldn't function, I just couldn't live without Sawyer. He was the greatest friend that I have ever came across. A tear rolled down my eye,then two,then three. "Sawyer," I mumbled, "Sawyer!I never got to say goodbye, I never got to say goodbye!" I kept yelling. "If only you lived with me." I collapsed right then and there. I blacked out again. I woke up to what seemed like an earthquake. At least it felt like one. "Jax!" Someone shouted, "Jax! Jax wake up!" I woke up to Christian ferociously shaking me. "Christian" I wiped my face, "Sawyers gone. He's gone!" I gave him a hug. "It's ok bud. It's ok-" "No it's not ok!" I shouted with anger, " He was my best friend." I dug my head into Christians shoulder, slowly wiping away tears. Although I had many other friends, I never forgot my memories with Sawyer. Christian checked me out of school so that way I could recover for a bit. When I walked through the door I went straight to my room and fell asleep. When I got to school the next morning everyone kept asking me what happened yesterday and why I was so sad that Sawyer was gone. The mob of people suddenly cleared up where Sawyer was standing. "Sawyer??" "Jax!" He shouted. We gave eachother hugs and I was just so happy that Sawyer was there. He put his arm around me and we hugged again. " You guys should totally go out" someone shouted. "Yea, I agree" another person yelled. When school ended, Sawyer came over to my place and we played on our family Wii U, this time, I won.
