I wasn't sure if I was ready to move... I've lived in Miami all my life. I know I wasn't ready to give up my friends...but mom says a new fresh start would help me with my depression. After my sister died...I started having dreams.. I couldn't quite exlpain it...but they always started with my sisters house. in willow wood. (its a town) and a girl...calling my name. Mom says its me trying to forget my sister. but I don't think so. I don't even think it's Katherine... perhaps my dreams do mean something... but I know I'm not depressed. "Anna! hurry up! we are gonna miss the flight!" my mom yelled up the stairs. before we move we are going to Texas to spend time there with my aunt and uncle and 3 cousins.
I sighed. I looked over at my bed frame. and I smiled and whisperd softly to my self. I'm gonna miss this place. So many memories..
"Anna! c'mon!" my mom yelled once again. " OK!" I yelled back. " god why can't you just leave me here?" I whispered.
I grabbed my suit case and stood in the doorway. I looked at my empty room and walked out, quietly.
a tear rolled down my cheeck. I went down the stairs and saw my friends Emily and Rose. they were holding a large card. and Emily had roses in her other hand. Rose had bear and box in the other. the box was decorated in pictures of us and my other friends. I smiled and teared up. "oh you guys. Thank you so much!" I hugged them both and they handed me there gifts. Emily spoke in a kind voice " we had everyone sign the card for you." she smiled at me. but I can see the sadness in her eyes. I knew this troubled her a lot. we've been friends since before we could walk. and I would miss her " I'll call you every day Em. and you to Rose." I hugged them again. Rose looked at me. "don't open the box until your in your new house. you can't open it at your aunts only your new house... OK?" she saifmd softy.
I nodded generously. "alright... I wi-" I got cut off, my min was yelling for me. "Anna!" I looked out side at the car. "well looks like I gotta go...try to he nice to the new little girl that's going to be living here ..hehe.. ok?" I started to cry " I'm gonna miss you guys so much. tell everyone else I'm gonna miss em." we walked out if the house and to my supirse I saw all of my friends shuttled on the lawn. a big huge group of about 150 kids. that me break into more tears. I walked across the lawn and got into the car. I looked back through the window. they all waved. I rolled down my window as we started to go down the rode. Emily called out " will you come during the summer?!" she was running after the car. " I promised!" I yelled after her. I saw a faint smile on her face. and she stopped running. and that was the goodbye gift I got...but what could I do to repay such kindness? what could I possibly do?
