Seems likely

Wanda and I stay at the apartment all day.

I wish we didn't.

"Our lease is up by September. We still have a couple months." She says. Then her heart breaking news I knew was coming. "But I have to go to New York for a little." Our faces fall as our bodies become slouched on the couch. Paper work filled the cushions as unfolded boxes laid against the TV stand.

"You sure you have to go?" I beg. She gives me a pitiful smile before grabbing my hand that was holding our signed lease. Her thumb runs over my bare skin. I may be over dramatic but she's my bestfriend. Leaving for New York for a month. To spend it with her crazy father. For his wedding.

He wanted to make amends with her apparently. Didn't want to ruin their relationship. Like he hadn't already.

"Yeah, I'm sure." My eyes grow glossy but I sniff in any sadness or fear away and stand up.

My hands are on my hips and her eyebrows were pinched. "Well what are we waiting for?! We got to get you to New York." I exclaim with a smile on my face. I try and look happy for her since she wants it just as much he does.

"How the hell did you get frosting on the ceiling?" I ask of her. Maybe she has some weird cupcake fantasies I can live without knowing about.

"I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea how the hell that got up there." She admits before bursting out laughing on the bed. She had boxes of her small room decorations up and sealed away. She was keeping some of her clothes here in Texas, but her Mom would be picking them up from our apartment. The rest were going with her. Once Wanda spent her month in New York, she was coming back home to live with her Mom. Everything that wasn't in a suit case, was in a box. Except the two ballerina tutus that were on our heads not an hour ago.

an hour ago

"Look at these." I exclaim while I drag two yellow tutu's from the closet she let get so messy. I don't know what went through her head, but she somehow comes with the idea to put it on her  head, like a lions mane.

And for some reason I join her.

We burst into laughter and as we snap pictures on our phones before we finally take them off and observe the picture with tears at our eyes.

current time

So I'm about to loose a roommate, and my bestfriend for about two months. With my minimum wage job, I don't see me affording this place by myself.

"What are you gonna do for the month I'm gone?" She asks. That's when the emotions internally hit me. Wanda is leaving for New York, Natasha is planning a wedding and-

Those are my only two friends. I'm gonna be all alone for the rest of my life. "Make some money and friends." I reply with a laugh. She joins in before we zip up her last suit case.

"Wands?"

"Hm?"

"Wanna go to the treehouse?" I ask, kinda feeling silly. Her contagious smile seeps one onto my face and she nods her head.

"I'll get the keys!" She shouts as she slides her sandals on. I run to my room and try and find mine. It's like a game of hide and seek until I find them under my bed. I slide them on and run out of the apartment and into the elevator with Wanda.
