Aaliyahs POV
Its been three days since I found out were moving. I haven't called,or texted anyone. I don't want to leave what I call home.
"Liyah..Lindsey is here ." my ma said
"I don't wanna talk to her. " I stayed under the covers
"Baby..what's wrong ? Why have you been sad for the last days. "
"Because I don't want to move ma, I wanna stay here with my friends. "
"Look baby, I know this is hard but this is the best thing for our family. "
"Fine. "
"Do you want to talk to Lindsey?"
"Sure. "
"Okay , Ill go get her. "
My mom walked out the room and I still stayed under the covers. I really didn't want to see my best friend. For one I know she is going to be hurt and two she's going to cry a lot. Believe it or not she is sensitive.
"Hey liyah, why you been so distant lately ?" Lindsey said as she sat on my bed
"I just been really sad. "
"Why? What's up?"
"When I tell you this I don't want you to be sad or anything OK. "
"Girl if you don't say it already !" She said as she slapped her leg
"Were moving..."
"Who moving ?"
"My family. "
"Well I can still come to your house its okay. Its not like your moving out of the state ."
"That's the thing..were moving to California."
"Wha--" a tear slid down her face.
"Please don't cry, don't be sad !" I hugged her
"I don't want you to leave."she hugged me back
"I know,I don't wanna leave either, please don't be sad."
"Don't be sad? How can I not be sad? My best friend for seven years plus is leaving me to move alllll the way to Cali. And I can't come. "
"Lindsey I know. Its not like I wanna go, thats why I didn't want to tell you. "
"Look,we can't be sad ! We have to keep our spirits up even tho you leaving me doesn't mean anything. You know my family takes trips every break and every summer I can see you then. "
"Yeah. " I wiped my tears." We can see each other. "
"Don't be sad boo. We gonna get through this together. But we have to make a promise to each other. "
"Yeah what's up ?"
"The promise is that no matter how far we are apart from each other we have to remain best friends. We can't let anyone get in between our bond that we have."
"I promise !" I stuck my pinky out ,she linked it to mines and we kissed the end of our pinky fingers. The remaining times we spent together we was bringing up old memories, dancing ,singing just doing us. She left later on and I went to my room and went to sleep.
*******next day*******
"Baby get up ! " my mama said
"Whaat!" I whinned
"Come on we have to pack. We are leaving in two days. "
"Ughhh okay. " I got out of bed and put my robe on. "Maaa!"
"What liyah?"
"What do I pack ?"
"Start in the kitchen !"
"Fine fine."
I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I started boxing up all the untensils. This is stressful. Why do we have to move again?
