=======================================================================================
Leaving everything and everyone I love wasn't easy. 

I called up the boys and with the happiest voice I could build up told them to meet me at our spot.
We all fell in love with the park in front of our school. So many memories were made there and ever since it's been our spot.

I once simultaneously asked the boys how would they feel if I disappeared. They all laughed and said that even though that would never happen they would need one of my hoodies and a whole lot of ice cream and pizza.

At the time I also thought it was a joke but today I was sadly going to turn that lie into a reality.
I set up a bench that we always sat on. I put 4 hoodies in a row each one meaning behind.

A picture of all of us in a frame was on the backside of the bench. On top of the hoodies was a note, 2 boxes of pizza were stacked on the bench, and on top laid my favorite pair of white boxing gloves.

I sat on the floor hugging my knees until I heard shuffling and laughing.

I ran behind a big tree and wiped away my tears.

Julian noticed the bench first and froze. He was lost for words.
It hurt me to see him like that. It broke me inside but I knew it was for the best.

Enrique noticed Julian's sudden pause and he followed his gaze. "what... please no."
When that sentence left Joshua's mouth everyone noticed what was in front of them.

The boys stepped forward and grabbed the notes on top of the hoodies.

The first one read "To my dearest boys, I love you guys so much and hate to have to do this to you."

The second note that pulled at my heart read, "I will miss you and feel as if half my soul has been stolen and isn't coming back this time."

The third note that made my anxiety lose on full blast read, "I lost my mom and now I'm losing you guys too, but I was too much of a coward to do this in person."

The final note that finally made me break and soak the paper with my tears was, "I'm a mess that can't be fixed. My pieces are everywhere and I'm running from the past that will be the death of me. Enrique, Julian, Andres, and Elijah. Forever and always. Love you guys. Sincerely Kamila."

Andres was leaning against the bench on the floor crying. Julian and Enrique just stood there in shock.

Elijah went over to the boxing gloves I left and read the message out loud.

"Keep fighting for each other. Remember me until I see you again"

I was covering my sobs in my sleeve and noticed them looking around the park for any sign of me.

I ran before they could see me and as I looked back I saw them hugging each other.

I got home and grabbed the bags I had packed. It was 6 in the afternoon and I knew it was time.

My house was exactly the same. The smell of warmth made my stomach turn. 

Tears burned my eyes but this time I didn't deny them. l let them fall.

I took a deep breath and walked out of the apartment I had lived in for the past 4 years of my life.

When I grabbed my bike I pulled out my phone and went to the contact that made me feel most guilty of all. Valentino.

I had already said bye to Eliza on a face time and we both agreed we would stay in contact with each other. 

I was going to keep her close but I was going to distance myself as well. 

She was the only person from my past that would stay with me through this because putting this on the boys would just make things worse.

 I finished typing in the text and went over it one more time. 

"Hey Valentino, I am assuming you went with the boys to the park. My timing isn't the best but please take care of them for me. Be there for them at their worst. I already failed at that but I'm hoping you can restore the happiness that I'm taking from them. I am going to miss them with all I am and with all I was but, this is for the best. I'm weighing down my friends and family. I'll never forget them. If it's meant to be ill see them again. Goodbye, Valentino."

with that, I blocked his contact and jumped on my bike. With my duffle bag attached to my hip and my guitar on my back, I rode toward my new life. But first, I needed to make a quick stop.
