After I rode around town for an hour, I went back home parked my car in the shed behind the house and went up to my room.

My mom was still nowhere to be found, so I plugged im my headphones to my phone and started downloading my favorite songs. God knows how much I love me some j. Cole. After I downloaded his latest album I turned on the tv and watch 'courage the cowardly dog' this shit was like a horror film.

I was in the middle of the show when there was a knock at the door. I slipped on my ninja turtle bedroom shoes, and went to the door. 

There stood Cam looking nervous as hell and a total mess. "Oh my god cam are you ok?" I asked pulling him into the house and sitting him down on the sofa. "I had a little accident." He said as I saw the blood dripping from his arm. "oh, gosh hold on." I said as I ran to the kitchen to get something to wrap his arm with. I grabbed some Gauss and a damp towel. I went back into the den and lifted up cam's shirt sleeve. It was a deep gash he had across his upper arm,  and still oozing blood. I cleaned it up and put pressure on it for a few, then wrapped it up in the Gauss. 

When I finished I noticed Cam haven't said a word since I started on his wound, there was an uncomfortable silence taking over. "Thanks." Cam said look intensely at me. "No problem." I waved off. He just stared at me making no move to speak again. "Well it's getting late you should go, and see a doctor about that arm." I said pushing him out the door. "But-" cam started. "bye-bye now." I said closing the door in his face.  

I was walking up to my room when the hall light started glistening off a metal box in my moms room. I got curious and walke in. The shinny box was under the bed. I slid it out, It was my old ninja turtle lunchbox. My mom told me she threw it out, but obviously that was one of the many lies she told me. I herd the door opening and slam closed signaling that my mother was home. I quickly took the lunchbox and left her room closing the door quietly. I walked into my room as she was coming up the stairs. I closed the door and put the box under my pillows. I waited for her door to close and hear her heavy snoring. After I was sure she was sleeping I pulled out the box. 

I don't know why but I was shaking of nerves, like this could change something big in my life. I pushed those thoughts away and opened the box. But the only thing inside was envelops. But what caught my eye was the address. '4746 west Lincoln street apt.56 Miami' the place cam moved to. I opened the first envelope scared of what I'd find. I read the scribbled handwriting of a little boy.

'hey Lulu, i miss you lots 

I go to a cool new school but i have to wear a ugly uniform. I got a pet gold fish i name him lucky. My mommy's new job is hard she says, but she's home more, i like that. We played hide and seek in our new home it's that big lulu! Well i have homework got to go. love you lulu 

From:cam'

My eyes watered at how much i missed my best friend. How could she keep this from me seeing how hurt i was from missing him. I wiped my eyes and opened the next letter.

'Lulu? Did i do something wrong? You haven't been answering my letters anymore. If you want me to i will runaway, back to you i promise. Please write me back lulu please i need to know your still my girl. Well just so you know i haven't made any new friends yet until you say it's ok. No one is gonna take your place.  

Love you lulu 

From:cam'

Tears were pouring from my eyes now. But I wiped them away and read every last letter. The last one made my heart break.

'Dear lulu i tried to call today but your mom picked up. I asked to speak to you but she said you couldn't because you had new better friends to play with. She told me to stop writing and calling, so this is my last letter. I am really sad to know i lost you but i hope your happy lulu, i will ways love you. You were my girl and ways will be. I love you, Goodbye 

From:cam'

I put the letter back in the box and put it up in my closet. All the emotions I felt left me numb. I felt angry and rage towards my mother, Sadness at the lost of cam over the years, Sorry for the way I treated cam, And hurt that he thought I would be happy without him. 

Tomorrow I had a plan. A Plan to get my best friend back.
