The picture is of Andrew Garfield but that's what I think Matthew looks like then the other picture is Dylan's bedroom. ~Kenlee Faith❤️❤️❤️

I hugged Matthew tightly not wanting him to leave. He hugged me back tighter than I had hugged him. I dried my tears. This is what I did when he left for college. Dylan gave him a hug. Lucy would be seeing her brother in a few days so she wasn't crying. "Remember the bracelet" He said to me with one last hug.
"How could I forget" I said smiling.
"See you around kid" he said messing up my hair.
"You too jerk" I said. He said one last goodbye before leaving the house. We all went out onto the porch to see him leave. Soon his car was going down the street. The leafs were starting to fall. So fall was coming. Soon winter. We walked back inside and the sweet smell of apple pie slapped me in the face. I love Mrs Georgia's apple pie. Lucy went upstairs to her room. Me and Dylan went to his room which is down in the basement. He has a pretty cool room.
"So what is mrs Ellie doing today?" Dylan asked jumping onto his bed.
"I don't know. Maybe go to the library" I said.
"As usual. It closes in 1 hour" he said looking at his watch, "you better run."
"I will" I said rushing up stairs and grabbed my bag. I told Mrs Georgia where I was going and I rushed out the door and down the street. I was going as fast as I could. I got to the library on time. I rushed in and to my area where my favorites are. I grabbed one of them that I haven't read and rushed to the check out. They sell coffee here too. Margret looked at me with a kind smile as she took the book and scanned it.
"How are you Mrs Ellie?" Margret asked tucking a piece of her brownish grey hair behind her ear. She was in her 60s.
"The usual. How about you Miss Harrison?" I asked as she gave me a cup of coffee.
"You know how it is around here" she said.
"Do you need any help today? I'd love to put some books back for you" I suggested.
"Sure thing pumpkin. The cart is right over there" she said pointing to where it is.
"Okay" I said giving her my bag. She kept it safe for me when I helped out. Ever since I was 5 I've been coming to the library and helping Margret. I took the cart and started pushing it. I entered the Fine Literature area and started putting some books back. I felt someone looking at me so I turned to see a man maybe in his 30s or 20s. He had ginger hair that he must've been growing out for a little.
"That's a good book" I said smiling at the Shakespeare book he had in his left hand.
"I bet it is" he said his voice laced with a British accent. I continued to put books on shelfs. I pushed my cart along getting to the romance section and continued to put the books back. Soon the cart was empty. I pushed it back to where Margret was.
"Thank you so much sweetie" she said with a smile as she handed me my bag.
"Any time. Maybe tomorrow I'll be back" I said smiling at her.
"I'd love your help again" she said handing me $5.
"I couldn't take it" I said.
"It's for helping. Take it dear" she said.
"I'm not going to take money from you" I said simply.
"You could use it. I already owe you $300" she said.
"Keep the money Margret. You need it more than I do" I said smiling, "I have to leave now. It's already 3:00."
"Alright. See you tomorrow morning dear" she said as I walked around the counter and gave her a hug. She always smelled like lavender and roses.
"Bye Miss Harrison" I said letting go of the hug before leaving the library. I started making my way home. Tomorrow was going to be a good day.
