Goodbye

7. Goodbye

Ellie's Point of view

Today I say goodbye to my best friend, my only friend really.

I opened my door to see her with tears running down her cheeks and I hugged her tight.
"I'm gonna miss you." I said crying
"Me too, just remember you can call me anytime."
"What if you're asleep"
"Then I'll tell you to piss off and call you back later, I'll always be your best friend though."
"Okay.."
"My mum's waiting and I have to be at the airport in an hour."
"So this is goodbye?"
"Yeah.."
"Awkward silence." I said and we both laughed.
"Well this is goodbye."
"Bye Sophie."
"Bye Ellie."
"Here," she said handing me a letter, "Read this if things get worse." She hugged me and left, looking back once more then waving goodbye.

She's gone and now I have no friends, I know I'm going to have to open this at some point, things are only going to get worse..

Charlie's Point of view

I sat at the table next to Brooke and everything was quiet, normally we'd all be talking but I think mum was still upset about how I've 'changed'.

"So, Ellie's friend left today." She said trying to start a conversation.
I just nodded my head.
"Are you going to talk to me?" I just looked at her, not saying anything.
I stood up and put my plate in the sink.

I walked upstairs and my mum shouted,
"Charlie! Come down here now!" I then walked downstairs.
"Go visit Ellie."
"What? No."
"Why not, Charlie. She's lonely."
"I'll see her at school tomorrow."
"Yes, but I never see her with you anymore."
"Stop trying to control my life. I'm not eight."
"Hey!" Brooke shouted.
"Sorry, you are always trying to control me. I need to live my life you know."
"Stop it right now. I really don't like this new you, Ellie tried to help you and now you have new friends and she has none. It's obvious you don't like her anymore."
"Yeah, you're right. I don't like her. She is a geek, I have other friends and I don't want to be hers, she's old enough to make friends on her own without my help."
I then stormed upstairs, pulling my hair.

I'm trying to finish this song. I know I have a month but it's really not long enough for me...

I will admit I feel sorry for Ellie, and I do feel bad for shouting with my mum, I hate arguing with people, especially my mum. Because she is always right and I know she is but if I admit it then I'll have to be friends with Ellie and I don't want to be, if I'm friends with Ellie I'll lose all my other friends but If I'm friend with my current friends I can't be friends with Ellie..
