He's Gone!

We will eliminate the mistakes.....TOGETHER!!!!!!

Alex:

I woke up to a scream. I loud. Blood curdling. Ari scream. I jumped up and ran down the stairs without even thinking, almost killing myself in the process. Mike was behind me.

"Ari what's wrong?!?!" I said. She was holding a piece of paper, still in her Tinker Bell pajamas.

"I, it's, I. Nick. I," she said. Mike's face contorted into sympathy, guilt and shame. I would kill him, but my best friend looks close to death right now.

"Ari, let me see that," I said. I took the note and quickly read it.

Dear Ari,

Hi! I don't want you to panic. Don't scream and wake everyone up. I truly am sorry it came to this, but it was going to happen anyway. Tell your friends they are truly awesome people and it was great hanging with them. Tell your mom her green bean casserole isn't as bad as everyone says. I hope your dad feels better. Enjoy the pancakes and please, please, please don't cry over this. Please? Pretty please with chocolate chips on top? Enjoy the pancakes.

"He left," Ari said, "He just, left." I bit my lip.

"Yeah," I said, "Come here." I hugged her and patted her back.

"Do you think we drove him crazy?" She asked. I looked at the note.

P.S. You guys didn't drive me crazy. They're all awesome.

This guy really knows Ari.

"No," I said, "We didn't drive him crazy."

"Then why did he leave?" She said stomping her feet, "I don't pancakes. Ugh!" She stomped upstairs and I heard the door slam. But. but. But...... After a few seconds, I turned to Mike he was staring at the ground.

"What's this?!?!" I demanded.

"I donno," he said.

"Mike," I warned, "You are a horrible liar, tell me right now." He sighed.

"Nick told me he was going to leave, and I made a promise I wouldn't tell anyone. And he also told Mr. Chance, please don't kill me," he said wincing. I sighed a frustrated sigh.

"You okay?" Mike asked quietly.

"I'm fine!" I said, "Just, ugh. You know what. Forget that." I ran my fingers through my hair. Then, our parents came down. Along with everyone else.

"What happened?" My mother asked, "What's all the screaming and door slamming for?"

"Nick left," I said, "he left a note for Ari, and Ari being Ari, well, didn't take it lightly."

"Aw," my mother said.

"What?!" Ari's mom said, "did we drive him crazy?" Ari and her mother have the same mind. It's crazy.

"No," I said, "he also said he likes your green bean casserole." Mrs. Chance blew a strand of hair out of her face.

"Poor Ari," she said, "I better check on her."

"Yeah," I said, "be careful." She slowly went up the stairs.

"Why would he just leave?" Nate asked, "And so randomly."

"I don't know," I said, "Why don't you ask Mike?" I glared at him and walked out of that room. First my B.F.F.F.E.W.L.N.E. Doesn't need my comforting hugs, and then my boyfriend doesn't tell me things that would make my B.F.F.F.E.W.L.N.E not want my comforting hugs. Why?!?!?!

Mrs. Chance.

(YAY!!!!!!!!!)

"Ari honey," I said slowly opening the door.
