The Essence Of A True Being

Eleven.

I shook as tears fell down my cheeks, splattering on the hard floor. I hugged my best friend tightly, silently begging her not to leave. As if she read my mind, I was pushed off and she looked me in my eyes.

"I'm going to miss you so much. I don't want to leave but there's nothing I can do to stop it." I opened my bloodshot eyes and looked at her. The words played over and over again in my head. She was leaving to London and not coming back. There was a small hope inside of me though. That something would bring her back. I was sure this hope was false though, as it seemed highly unlikely.

"I'll miss you too." She smiled weakly at me, wiping a tear from her cheek. She hugged me tightly one last time before boarding the plane. I couldn't move. I was frozen to my spot and unable to process what had just happened.

My best friend is gone. The only way I'll see her is through FaceTime. I don't know if she'll ever be back. Who will I talk to when I'm sad? She was the only one who truly understood what I was going through. Now I have no body. I am alone once again.

The roar of the plane shook me out of my depressing thoughts. I watched as it left the air port, taking her with it. I wanted to fall down and cry, but I was in public. I somberly walked to my car and as soon as the door closed I let everything out. I cried so much my eyes were as red as blood, and my makeup covered my face. Nothing could ever replace her, no item, no money, no body, she was all I had. And now I have nothing.
