I scratched my face in the mirror. For some odd reason I felt like getting ready today so I got in the shower and jumped out. I threw on my high waisted mom jeans and black crop top with a red cardigan and red little see through heart socks to match. I threw my black creepers on as well. Today was going to be a good day. No matter what happens. It was my last day in LA so I tried to leave with a bang. I waved my hair and threw on some makeup and sunglasses. I walked out the door with my keys and drove to the park for one last time.

I stepped out and walked around. I was going to miss this place. The beaches , the crazy people , my bestfriends , Jack and Jack.

I could feel myself starting to tear up. Not because of him but because I was now leaving. It sucks yes , but I knew it would be the best for me. I got back in my car and got to my favorite coffee shop in town. I ordered a chai tea iced , with two pumps of chocolate as usual and sat down with my paper and pen. This was it. This was the last day I was going to see the most important people in my life. SO I wrote some letters starting off with Jack.

"Hey. I don't know where to start and I don't know why I'm doing this because I feel like you deserve the least of attention from me. I'm going to have Johnson relay this letter to you because I don't want to say goodbye. Thank you Jack. For all of the memories and opening my eyes to the real world. I am not being sarcastic by the way. Thank you for at one point loving me unconditionally and putting me before yourself when we were together. I do want to apologize though for being so rude and careless to you these last couple of months. I just want to let you know. I am happy for you. I am happy for all that you choose and decide to do. Brcause I love you.
          love forever,
          Dyl."

I sat and stared at this letter for a while wondering if I should really relay it to him and I did. For the next couple of hours I sat and wrote Johnson's , Margo's and Natalie's. I couldn't catch my breathe I was crying so much.

     "Hey." I heard a familiar voice above me and a white hand hit the table.

  "Hi?" I replied confused as Derek sat down right next to me.

"I know what you're thinking. You don't want anything to do with me and I'm sorry okay? You didn't deserve it. and no other girl in the world does either."

He looked at me places his hand on mine.

"I'm not asking to take you out again. I'm just asking for forgiveness." He looked sincere and hopeful.

      "Yeah, sure. Uh , look I have to go. I got to drop some stuff off before I leave tomorrow. Great seeing you." I replied.

I rushed out of there so quickly and hopped in my Kia Soul. Next stop : Margo's.

I knocked and waited for a reply.

"I am cominnnnnng" I heard someone say, "Oh no I've been avoiding seeing you all day because i am going to cry I am definitely going to cry." Margo covered her face.

   "I need you to read this okay? I need you to give these two , to Jack and Jack for me as well." I smiled through the years streaming down my face.

I was heartbroken we have been together since 4th grade and now we were growing apart.

"yeah of course. What time are you leaving tomorrow?" She wiped her eyes.

     "6." I wiped mine

"WHO IS IT?" I heard Natalie scream.

     "Hi!" I poked my head in.

"Margo , let her inside." She snapped.

    I stepped in the familiar house.

    "Nat, this is for you." I looked at her and felt my heart break.

   "Oh no. Fuck Dylan. I can't read it no." she cried

   "You have to. You have to." I replied sitting on the black leather couch in their apartment.

     "Dylan. I love you so much." She cuddled up next to me and pulled out her phone, "Hey everyone. It's Dylan's last day today *sniffs* so I'm going to be a wreck and post a bunch of old pictures of us starting from birth to now." She stopped recording on snap chat and looked at me for permission.

I nodded. Me and Nat have been best friends since birth. Our mom's gave birth in the same room , both to girls and both at 5:15 a.m. on May 15. We were the best of best friends. We barely spent a day or two apart. And that's when in fourth grade we met our new besty Margo. Oh the love i had for this psycho girl.

It was midnight and it was time for me to leave.

  "Alright girls. I have to go." I felt the water works building up.

  "One more day come on. Dylan."

   "Guys I really can't okay." I gotta go I stood up this time and felt each of them grab onto my legs and heard them sniffing.

  "Well," Natalie looked into my car "I guess this is goodbye."

  I smiled and let a tear fall down my cheek , "Goodbyes for losers." I hugged her through the window of my now shut door. And out came my baby Margo with a bag full of pictures and snacks.

  "Thank you Dylan, for accepting my crazy ass and letting me stick around." She kissed my forehead like she usually did.

"Oh dear. I can't imagine life without you." I took the bag from her hands and pulled out of the drive way.

   "WE LOVE YOU!" They both yelled snapchatting it. I stuck my hand out my window and waved as I drove back to my old home.
