Today was my last day at my little school with my friends. I couldn't bear to say goodbye, but I knew I had to.
When I arrived at school, it was my own personal goodbye party. I can't believe them. They know I hate crowds and being center of attention.
"Surprise!" All my friends yelled. They were clearly tearing up and I couldn't help but cry a little myself. Thank The Lord for my planning of wearing waterproof mascara.
I took a deep breath and said,"Thanks!" We all collapsed into a group hug and cried together. These were the reasons I needed to stay in Tennessee. These were the people that actually made me whole.
By the end of the day, I had cried about a million dozen times, hugged everyone at school even the people I didn't know, and gotten goodbye cards from half my grade. I promised to keep in touch as much as possible. It's going to be odd for me. Transferring in the middle of my sophomore year to a brand new place.
But I wasn't exactly super upset because of all of my goodbyes. I was super upset because I never saw who I needed to most. My best guy friend Tanner. In a way you could say we were dating. But it was much more than that. He was like the sun when it's been raining for a month. Or the stars and moon in the night sky. He always kept me upbeat even on my bad days. He wasn't at school and that hurt me since he knew I was leaving. I never got to say goodbye to the most important person in my life.
I was finished packing by 7:30 that night. We were due to leave at 6:00 PM tomorrow. I stayed in my room most of the night, crying and Facetiming my friends and just letting all my pain and sadness go. Still no messages from Tanner. This was last time for a while that I'd be in Tennessee with my best friends.
