It's 1:00 am and I have school tmr but I'm not tired at all and you guys want an update sooo.. here ya go :)

I roll over and feel something warm spread across my face. I open my eyes to complete brightness then I squint to try and focus on what's happening. My window was opened and then sun was shining in my eyes.

It's almost noon and I roll to the other side of my bed, my back facing the sunlight. I look around my messy room, thinking about how it would be empty very soon. I get up and dig around to look for some clean clothes.

I jump when my door opens. Kira walks in with a few small boxes.

"Mom told me to give this to you." She drops the boxes on my floor.

"Why?" I go back to doing what I was doing.

"You know why." Kira rolls her eyes while I sigh.

She leaves my room and I start thinking about what to pack up first. I start with some of my favorite books and pictures, then I get lazy and just neatly put whatever I find into my boxes. I make a separate pile for things I don't want to keep.

I find my dirty clothes and walk over to the washer then dump them on the side so mom could wash it later.

My room feels a bit empty now and I lie back down on my bed. I look outside the window, the sun still shining down my bed.

"Abby, Jacob's here to see you!" Mom yells loudly from downstairs.

Shoooooooot, I look like a mess! A voice inside my head screams. I jump off my bed and look at myself in the mirror. The left side of my hair oddly curly and the other side is all tangled up from sleeping.

"Ugh," I let out while I grab my brush and roughly comb my hair. After a few seconds of trying I give up and just put my hair in a messy bun. It looks much better. I rub my eyes and walk downstairs.

"Morning." I say to my mom and Jacob.

"Morning? It's already noon." My replies, Jacob snickers.

"Morning for me." I add. Mom goes back to the kitchen while Jacob and I go upstairs. I sit at my desk and Jacob sits at the end of my bed.

"You're already packing?" He asks me without making eye contact. I sadly look away.

"Yeah," I awkwardly reply. "I'm really gonna miss you." My cheeks turn red.

"I'll miss you too. I'll miss our laughs, our talks, our fights..I'll miss us." He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. I smile as he makes eye contact with me. My heart skips a beat as I look into his eyes.

I walk over to him and sit so close that our knees are touching. 

"What now?" I ask while he grabs my hand and locks it in his. He puts his free hand under my chin and pulls me towards him. He kisses my lips softly and I kiss him back.

I really will miss him.. I think sadly to myself.
