Three years have gone by since I left my best friend. Jana was my best friend; I mean she still is. Jana is the light of my life and these past few years have been difficult if I am being honest.
I have been wanting to go back to the house since I left to get Jana, but I do not want her to see me like this. I mean she would not love me anymore and I know it.
I know that she is wondering where I went. I have been staying with my friend Danny for the past couple of years.
He had gotten his apartment at 16 since he was emancipated. Which I will say is great because it is just Danny and me.
"Chris, are you okay? You have been starting for the past couple of minutes?"
"Oh yeah I'm fine I guess."
"I know that face. You are thinking about Jana again, aren't you?"
"No, what makes you say that?"
"Chris, I know you are, it is written all over your face. It is not your fault. You needed to get out of there."
"I didn't even say goodbye. I didn't even say goodbye Danny. Do you know how every day I have been wishing that I did and that I gotta see her one last time or hug her one last time? That is all I can ever think about so do not give me that, well whatever."
"Fine, I am. Are you happy?"
"No, I am not. I love you, you know that, but I do not love forcing information out of you. I thought you trusted me?"
"I am sorry, I am not in the best spot right now. I should not be taking it out on you. I am sorry."
I wrap my arms around Danny and embrace him in a hug. This is what I needed. I just want to find Jana.
I mean the last few times I knew that 'mom' was at work I sneaked into the house with my key. She never took my key, and she never changed the locks.
Not that she even locks the doors anyway. Jana was never there. I mean I don't even know where she could be.
That's the thing that scared me the most. Not knowing where your little sister could be—wondering if something happened or maybe mom did something like but her up for adoption.
That's also a scary thought I mean I have always been protective of my little sister. I think it's just my older brother's instinct, I have always made sure that Jana came first. No matter what, even on my worst day, I would always make sure that Jana is okay, even if I'm not
