Ch.9: Smiles

Nikki's POV:

*airplane*

I cant believe I am in an airplane 500 ft. above the ground.. leaving my home... It all happens so quickly.. Its so quick how our lives can change.. It seems like just yesterday I was in first grade.. meeting new people.. new friends.. Now everything is changing.. I will miss Guam.. I will never forget my home... I opened the window to stare at the island... my beautiful home.. white puffy clouds started to shift in and the view starts fading slowly... I close the window.. close my eyes, and smile.. Thinking of my home..

Jenny's POV:

She's gone.. Wow.. I am really gonna miss her.. I'm gonna open the letter now..

*Nikki's Letter for Jenny:*

         Hey Jen,
          I know this seems too sudden. I probably already told you I'm leaving.. Well I am actually moving to the States. Sorry if it seems too fast. I wish I could have found out sooner so we would be able to hang out longer. Thanks for our wonderful memories, especially in our club, The Legion. I had a great time and I'm glad I was able to spend it with you. ♤

As soon as I close my eyes, Tears start falling. I quickly opened them as I noticed the wet marks of the letter and stopped crying. I wiped my tears and smiled.

"I will never forget you," I said to myself still smiling.

Natalie's POV:

*5am*

I am laying in my bed and still can't sleep..  I have not been able to since Nikki left.. I'm not crying. But I'm sad. I turn my head and look at the letter Nikki gave me last night placed on the small table. I have not even opened it yet. I close my eyes and ignore it. There are two sides of my mind. One is telling me to open it, while the other says to leave it. They are like secrets rushing into my mind. Giving me the eagerness to tell them to my best friends.

"Ugh. Ill just open it." I finally gave in. I sit up from my bed and take the letter. I steadily and slowly open it. I do not want to tear it or make a single mark. The writings and letters are revealed.

*Nikki's letter for Nat*
         Hey Nat, I am Sorry I have to go so early. But do not worry we will still have some more time to spend together as we grow. Just keep me updated and I will of course not forget to return the favor. I do not want to make this long because it is not really goodbye. I would say it just a later thing. So I love you and dont forget me. :) You are the really greatest best friend I could ever have met first.
                                                                          See ya,
                                                                           Nikki . ♡

I closed the letter safe and sound. I did not want to cry. I knew there was no need to. I decided to just smile and remember all the moments we spent together. I put the letter away and go to sleep.

-A friend is not just a person for us to have fun with, or a great memory to share , It is also a life for us to help fulfill in every great way we have.
