Robin my love

Now leaving Hawkins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three months later

The leaves had turned orange and brown, falling from the trees. The air became cold and windy. Robin had snuck in and slept over a couple times, we couldn't stay at her house anymore because her parents were so worried father the mall 'burning down' the were almost always home. We hung out almost every day as just friends. We'd agreed it'd be better for both of us as we both new we could never be together for many reasons. But every so often I'd catch her looking at me with this look in her eyes. We grew kid of distant again once Robin had to go back to school but when Joyce told me we'd be moving far far away me and Robin sat on the floor of my room and cried all night until we eventually wore ourselves out and fell asleep. About a week later Robin had brought steve over to help me finish packing and load everything in the truck. I didn't have much so we really just sat in my empty room all of us holding one another crying.
Knock knock knock
It was Joyce, she said it was time to go which just brought even more tears. I nodded and got up helping my two best friends up as we walked out of the house for the last time. We all hugged on the porch as one final goodbye. Steve walked over to his car giving me and robin some time. We sat on the porch and watched all the younger kids hug.
"You better bring your walkie." Robin spoke up. "Cause you know Im gonna steal cerebro from dustin and talk to you every night." She smiled. I knew I should smile too but it just broke me even more at the thought of leaving her. Of course she'd noticed as we'd been almost inseparable apart from when Robin first started school again. She pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head, rubbing my back. I couldn't take it anymore so I got up walked over to the car as Robin followed.
I leaned on the door stalling. I didnt want to leave yet.
"Fuck, im gonna miss you T!" Robin laughed a pain filled laugh. I smiled knowing I'd miss her more than she would ever know. She cupped my cheeks in her soft hands, "You have to promise to write me every day okay?" A tear fell down the side of her cheek. I nodded as I felt out lips lock for the last time. "And that was a friend kiss by the way," Robin clarified.
"I know," I gave her the same pain filled laugh ad wiped away her tears. I shivered in the wind, Steve had accidentally packed the sweatshirt Robin gave me so I did have anything to cover up with.
"I have something for you," Robin took off her hoodie, handing it to me. I felt my throat go dry and my eyes fill yet again I hugged her as tight as I could, inhaling her sweat scent one last time before climbing into the back of the car. Johnathan and will had already taken the drivers seat and shot gun leaving me the whole back seat. I felt the car move as I turned around to look through the back window and wave to Robin. I saw her smile and turn away and going to Steve's car. I turned back around and put on Robins baggy hoodie, closing my eyes and breathing in the reminiscences of her soft fruity smell. I stuck my hands in my pocket to feel something. I pulled it out, It was a note with my name on it. I smiled and gently ripped it open-

"Dear Teaghan,

You flipped my life upside down, I laughed at her little pun. You saved me and not just from Evil Russians or from a boring job in a boring mall with the incredibly boring Steve Harrington, but from myself. You helped me realize its okay to be who I am and that no matter what someone out there will always love me, even if they're all the way in the sunny state of California while I'm stuck in plain old Hawkins, Indiana. I love you more than you will ever know and I hope we can make this long distance friendship work.
I didnt know how to tell you this in person but I met a girl, we're in band together and I dont even know if she likes girls but steve insists "she Likes boobies robin!" which always makes me laugh when especially when Im questioning whether this is just another straight girl crush or not. I'll admit I was heart broken when I you told me we'd never work out but I'm getting over it (Hopefully) and I think this girl will be good for me. And well If she isn't I guess I'll just fly out to cali with you and start a new life before the rumors spread. 

Love yours truly,
Robin Buckley"

Shit i was crying all over robins note! I mean I knew we would never work out but I guess hearing she met some one else or more reading it still kind of tore me apart. But I'll just have to live with it, for know at least I will do my absolute best to be her supportive best friend.
