April 2nd {Spring break}
Me and mapel were on the swings in the forest. We did everything together. Well that was till this summer. We were goofing off until she got real serious. "Hey Mya," she cleared her throat. "Im moving this summer." that sentence broke me. the first thing i said was "why?" "you know why.." "we cant afford it" "remember my daddy lost his job?" her voice cracked like she was about to cry. "Well tell your daddy to get a job" "its not hard" as soon as i said that i covered my mouth. "Omg maple im so sorry! I dont know what i was thinking!" "Its fine." "ima just go, you seem like you need some time." she walked away and i heard her quietly start to cry. "No! Maple! Thats not what i meant! wai-" she ran away. I felt so bad, i dont know what ibwas thinking. That night i went to her house to apologize. "Hey Ms.Kettle, can i speek to Maple?" "I hope your here to apologize." She looked at me in that look that you know you did something wrong. "Yes defently i didnt mean to say that. I dont know what i was thinking." "come in Mya" "Maple!" she hollerd at Maple" "yeah?" She hollered back. "Come here!" "coming". She walked down the stairs and she walked in, her mom left. She sighed at me. "What?" "Maple, i i im so sorry. I shouldnt have said that. I dont know what i was thinking i just i-" she cut me off "Your were rude, hurtful. You really hury my feelings Mya!" "Saying sory dosent fix the world!" "i know and i just dont know how ri express how bad i feel. "ill help. stop pertending you care. Leave my life, oh wait! Ill help ill go continue to pack." She left. I walked out if her house, i walked home in shock. I dont know what im gonna do without maple. I guess we both had the same idea tho. Because she walked up to our favorite spot crying. Just like me. She saw me, she started to wipe her eyes. "maple can we- Wait!" she ran away. I started to take down the swings that wete here. We called this place the maple may. Because we found it in may and my name is mya same letters as may. And this is a maple tree. I left her swing up with a note. "Hope your new house,friends,ect is nice, kind, and not rude like me. I hope you get a fresh start. hope i was your favorite crime <\3" i taped it to the swing grabbed my stuff and left. In the corner of my eye i saw her walk back up. She read my note i could tell she started to cry again. The next day i saw here moving truck arive. We were next door neighbors. Me and maple met in 3rd grade in april. We'd been friends since then. We just clicked. But thats over now. Even if we were still friends, she dosent have a phone.

May 8th {After she moved/ after spring break} I walked into class that day. Everyone was wondering were Maple was. I wanted to die that day. At lunch i decided to grab my stuff and ditch. I went to our spot. Maple was there. I went to turn around, "Mya! Wait! Im sorry!" I turned around in shock. "your sorry? I should be the one sorry!" "i shouldnt have said that" i reply to Maple. "No! You came to say sorry like 3 times!. "It had been weeks and almost 1 month since i had heard her voice. "Wait? What are you doing here?" "My daddy got a job again! " We moved back in!" Then my mom woke me up. I had been to late so my mom called me in sick. "Mya, im going to work are you gonna be okay?" "yes momma" "okay" she gave me a hug and kiss. Her hug remined me of maple. I decided to go to our spot hoping i had a dream that would come to life. I made it there Maples cars werent there. Nothing was there. The house was empty.When i made it there Maple left a note. "Mya, please stop trying to make things better, You hurt me. Please dont contact me at all. Please dont make this harder than it already is." I started to cry. I started screaming and crying. It started to rain. It had felt my soul left my bodie. A peice of me gone. I felt empty.

A year later.{agust}
It was a year and a couple months since then. My routine was : wake up, eat, get dressed, cry at our spot. Everday i would talk to myself as if Maple was there. "hey maple! guess what!! I made the cheer team! Like our dream!! i miss you so much!! Love you!!" everday it had felt as if someone or something was watching me. It felt like maple was there. I knew she wasnt tho. Today was diferent. I walked to our spot and started to cry and talk to maple. "Hey maple! Hows your-" Someone tapped me on the sholder. I turned around. "How about the real maple answers and listens this time?" I looked at maple in disbelief. "OMG MAPLE?!" "thats me! "I hugged her so hard. But then something else poked me i opened my eyes and i had fallen asleeo and started to day dream. I didnt get much sleep at all. I took a stick and carved "Favorite crime" i started to cry again. My grades wete really bad i was skipping cheer sometimes i would skip school.My mom and dad were both worried and tried talking to me. Nothing worked. One day i came home and my mom hugged me. "sweety." "im so sorry. Maple was on her way home to see you and she got hit by a car. Shes not with us anymore." "She hugged me tighter. "I started to cry. I ran up stairs i packed food, a tent, heater, blankets, water, a cooler, ice, cloths, and shoes, and lastly money. I left that night and set up my tent were i spent my days. Our spot. I started crying and crying. I screemed on the top of my lounges. I started to yell as if maple was still here. "Oh maple! Its all my fault! if i hadnt said that! we would have still been friends and you wouldnt havr gotten hit by the car to come see me! You could have lived with us till your dad got back on his feet! im so sorry maple! this is all my fault!" "Can you ever forgive me?!" i knew no one would say anything to me . I fell asleep.

September {after she passed}
I  had ran away for almost a month now my mom and dad i could tell cared because they had missing posters up of me. I didnt go to school at all too. I walked out of the tent. I saw a note on the cooler. "Deer mya, everyone was wrong. I wasnt dead i was in a coma" "i heard your screems" "and you were and still are my favorite crime" "nothing is your fault. We both didnt want me to move." "but ive moved back in the my old house" "come home mya" "i need you in my life again. I left some un important things at our spot and went to her house. Her cars, garden stuff, everything i knocked hard on her door. She opened it. I squeezed her so hard.
