We went shopping and came back with 5 bags each, Chloe's eyes where sparkling with happiness, it was like a 5 year old who just found out she has a little puppy. We got in her room and started unpacking everything, she bought a new aqua blue swimsuit and a pink beach dress, and I bought a black swim suit just to stay casual with a hippy beach dress. We putted everything in the closets, it was 9:30 pm and I was exhausted. I got to sleep directly, too tired to stand up one more second.
The next morning, I woke up and went directly in the kitchen, I was ready to make breakfast, wake up Chloe and start thinking about how she should do her hair for the party, I was thinking kind of simple but nice kind of thing. I heard my message alert, and went to my phone sure it was Aunt Loretta with her excuse to make sure everything is fine. But it wasn't from her, it was from Chloe. I didn't understood why would she text me if she was upstairs. I read the message shocked.

Chloe: HEY! Good Morning I am sorry to tell you that this morning I found a letter from Melissa telling me to pack up my bags and come meet her at the airport, I am moving with my whole family to Brazil and, because my parents love you like their child and because we are rich, they are giving you the house, we will send you money every month so you can pay all the bills. And I talk to Loretta and she let you live I the house by yourself, she is moving to France. I am so sorry, BYE!

I blocked in front of that screen for 20 minutes, I couldn't believe she did that to me and then she thinks it's all going to be fine if I have a giant house. But she was kind of right because she didn't see her family for years and she had the chance of living with them again so she couldn't say no. And I did tell her thousands of times I wanted to live alone and in a way I was thrilled to finally live alone, but it wasn't fair, Chloe and Loretta where the 2 most important people in my life but of course they had to take them away from me. I t was all going to be fine.... I just needed to calm down. I threw myself on the kitchen table chair, putted my hands on my eyes and cried 4 cold tears. After that I threw my phone away and luckily it landed on the couch. For a moment I was devastated. I had this giant house to myself and I could live an in depended life like I always wanted, but my best friend wasn't here, the only girl I trusted was gone and she would never come back.
It was enough emotions for today, if these people wanted me to live an in depended life, I was going to. I ate my breakfast, milk and a chocolate and went upstairs to put on my cloth, but I didn't, I just needed one whole day crying all the tears in my body and then I could go.
The doorbell rang, I opened the door and it was Mike, he was asking me if I was going to come to his pool party tomorrow.

Mike: HEY! I was just passing by and I said that I would come see if you're coming tomorrow.

Before I could answer that question I bursted into tears. When he saw mw like that he looked worried.

Mike: Are you okay? Come on we will give you some water and you will explain to me what happened.

He came in the house putted me on the couch and went in the kitchen to bring me some water. When he came back he handed to me the glass and waited for me to drink a little bit of water out of it and calm down. He was actually pretty nice.

Mike: Soooo... Are you going to tell me why you are crying?

I nodded and went to get my phone, I showed him the message, and he looked kind of sorry for me after reading it.

Mike: That is cruel of her to leave you here and go to another city. But on the other side you have this amazing house!

I nodded again as a respond, he gave me a big hug but I was still crying on his shoulder.

Mike: I get it! She was your best friend and she left you alone here for the rest of your life. Even your Aunt gave you the promotion to live here alone... But now you can live alone and like I said before.... WOW... Look at this house!

I smiled, he made me feel better than before, now I understand why Chloe liked him that much. When I could finally speak words and stopped crying I told him.

Me: You love that house so much go give yourself a tour will I change.

Mike: Sure, but promise me you won't cry again! And wear something sporty I have a surprise for you.

Me: Okay... I promise.

I went upstairs to get out of these pajamas full of tears. I took a cold shower, because it was super-hot outside, I wore grey trainers with a black shirt and Nike shoes. It was a very sporty look for the "surprise" Mike wanted to show me.

3 minutes later we were out of the house and in Mike's car, he gave me blindfolds so I wouldn't see where we were going, I liked that "surprise" game.

Me: I hope you are a good driver.

Mike: Don't worry about me.

When blank space started playing on the radio 2 little tears came out of my eyes to finally come out under the blindfolds and continued scrolling until I stopped it with my hand. All those good memories with Chloe were gone of my mind, I don't think I would find anyone like that in my life.
