A New Beginning

Chapter 2 : Saying My Goodbyes

It was so cold . It was December 9, 2016 . Why didn't I put on a coat ? " I said to myself . I ran through my neighborhood to Momoko's neighborhood . Momoko's neighborhood wasn't far from where I lived . I ran until I couldn't run no more . I was two houses away from Momo's house . I walked tiredly to her house . I walked up her driveway and I rang to doorbell . I saw Naomi & Ayaka talking to eachother .

Momoko came to the door and opened it . " Hey Asuka ! Your here ! What did you need to tell us ? " Momoko asked . " I'll tell you once I get warmed up . " I told . I was so cold , it was hard to stand . I felt like my fingers and my toes were about to fall off . " Oh my ! You look freezing . Come in , come in ! " Momo said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me into the house . She shut the door . " I'll be right back . Let me get you a blanket . " She told . I turned around to see Naomi & Ayaka sitting by the heating table . " Wassup Asuka . Why did you tell us to come here ? " He questioned . " Yeah , how have you been doing ? " Naomi asked shyly . " Um-... " I said but then I got interrupted . " Yeah , why did you tell us to come here ? " Ayaka asked . " I'll tell you guys what happened when Momo comes back . " I told them . " Alrighty . " Ayaka said . " Okay . " Naomi responded . Momoko came into the living room with a fuzzy light pink blanket . She walked over and handed it to me . " Here you go . " Momoko said as she sat down and but her knees under the heating table .

" So what did you need to tell us ? " Momoko asked . I was so scared to tell them but I knew I had to . I called Momo , Ayaka , & Naomi about coming here , I snuck out of my house , and ran all the way over here . It would just be crazy to say that nothing important was going on . I knew I had to tell them . I had to . " Um...th...this...might be upsetting...b...bu...but... " I stopped talking . " Come one , spit it out . " Yusu commended . " I...I...I'm moving... " I confessed . It was good to get that off my chest but I had to deal with another problem . Their reaction . I was prepared . Kinda . " Wha...wha... " Momoko said as she started to panic . " My parents just told me today . We are leaving tomorrow . I asked my mom if I could see you guys one last time in the morning but she said we can't . This is why I'm here now . I had to see you guys at least one last... Maybe this is the last time I'll ever see you guys... " I said in a depressing voice . I then realized I had been crying . Hot tears streamed down my face onto the fuzzy blanket .

" WHAT ?!?!? NO PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS A DREAM !!!!! PLEASE ASUKA , JUST WAKE ME UP ALREADY !!!!! " Naomi screamed as she started shaking me violently . She then collapsed onto the ground and broke into tears . She started kicking the wall and was acting like a 5 year old . " No...No...No...No...NO...NO..NO...NO !!!!! Naomi yelled as she rocked back and forth . She was crying too . Ayaka was trying to take deep breaths but that didn't work . She started sobbing and put her head onto her knees . " Shit... " Ayaka sighed . Ayaka stared down at the heating table . " Naomi , Momoko , & Ayaka came and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around all of them . The was a moment of silence . Their reaction was worse than I expected . They were all really upset . Except somebody was acting even worse . Naomi . Naomi was a polite , quiet , and shy girl , and she thought of me as a sister , but how come she was acting the craziest out of everybody else ? I didn't know . As we hugged , I started to cry and so did Ayaka , Momoko , and Naomi . We all hugged for awhile .

We discussed why I was moving and I had answers . We discussed what time I was leave and I had answers . We discussed what place I was moving to but I didn't have answers this time . " You don't even know where your moving too ? " Ayaka questioned as she sniffled . " Yeah . My mom didn't tell me so I didn't ask . I don't know why I didn't ask . " I replied . " Oh okay . But how are we ever going to be in touch with each other ? " Ayaka asked . " I can skype you guys . It just won't be the same... " I told .

My depression got worse . I didn't want to leave my friends . It wasn't fair . It wasn't fair at all . I just wanted to stay in the house I lived in . I just wanted to stay with my friends . I just wanted to have the life that I had already . Everything was perfect to me . My house , parents , friends , grades , and so much more things . I just wanted everything to stay the same as it was , but now it's taken the wrong turn .

I had to go home and I really didn't want to . When I told them I had to go Naomi , Ayaka , & Momoko started weeping and they all said " Please don't leave ... " Naomi was screaming at the top of her lungs " NO PLEASE DON'T GO... PLEASE DON'T LEAVE... " When I started putting on my shoes . " Asuka... please don't... please don't leave... " Ayaka pledged quietly . " I'm sorry guys... I don't want to leave but I have to go... I'm sorry... Just please guys... please hug me one last time . " I said as tears filled up my eyes . I opened my arms again and wrapped my arms around them . We hugged for about 5 minutes until I really had to go . " I have to go... I love you guys... " I spoke . Momoko and Ayaka started crying louder but Naomi was screaming her lungs out . Before I walked out the door , a arm pulled me back . I turned around and saw Momoko . " Good luck . " She said as a tear dripped down her face . I then turned around , and left .

As I walked down the street crying , my tears started to turn into ice . It was so cold . I could hear Naomi screaming from Momo's house all the way down the street . They took it worse than expected . Way worse than I expected . They were crazy especially Naomi . Why was she so upset ? How come nobody was acting as upset as her ? I didn't have an answer to those questions . I really didn't know . I wanted to know , but I just couldn't find it out . As I was walking down my neighborhood to my house , I put my hands in my pockets to keep warm but a piece of paper was in there . I took it out . It looked like a letter so I opened it .
" Dear Asuka Kita ,
Naomi , Ayaka , & I love you very much . We are very sad that you are leaving . I hope we can at least Skype a few times now and then . We wish you luck on the school you have to go to . We hope that you go to a nice and clean school with nice students . We hope you make new friends . We will miss you very much and we miss you a lot already . We love you .

Love your best friends , Momoko , Ayaka , & Naomi "

It touched my heart and memories came back again and it felt as if somebody turned the faucet to my eyes . My eyes were pouring out with salty tears .

When I arrived at home , I slowly opened the door with the key under the flower pot on my porch . I went inside , took my shoes off , and slowly shut the door . I slowly went up the stairs trying not to make a sound . I checked my mom and dads room to see if they were asleep . They were asleep alright . My mom was snoring and so was my dad . I slowly walked into my bedroom and landed onto my bed . I cried and cried my eyes out until I cried myself to sleep...
