" I GOT ACCEPTED!" I shout from the kitchen running up to my best friend James who I am currently living with. I run to his room and barge in. He is putting on a T-shirt and has only boxers on as he is getting ready for work. " Dude!" He says as I laugh at him. " You act like its new to see you in boxers!" I tell him. His cheeks get a little pink and I shove my letter to him. "I GOT IN!" I exclaim jumping up and down.
His smile widens and he looks extremely happy for me. Then his face falls a bit.
"J what is wrong?" I ask him. He puts the letter down and looks at me. " J" I say again getting impatient. " I-I didn't get in." He says slowly as he stutters it out. My face falls.
" Its okay." I tell him trying to put a smile on my face. " I will get into the next one with you!" I say and go to hug him. " No!" James says a little loudly. " you have been wanting to go to this college since you where in freaking dippers. You are not going to give it up for me." He says. My heart feels heavy yet warm. Tears want to prick at my eyes but I don't let it show. " B-" he cuts me off. " No buts" he says. I hug him and he holds me tightly. " I can't go without you." I say and now my eyes are starting to water. "You are all I have." He sighs. " I know. But I will always be here. I will be 3 hours away. I will come visit and you can come visit and we can study over video chat and -" I cut him off. " its not the same!" I tell him almost yelling looking at him. " I know Lee. I'm sorry but you are going." He tells me giving me a small sad smile.

3 weeks later
Its moving day, and I don't like this one bit. I have been spending as much time as possible with James and he never seems to mind even when I sneek in his room at night pretending I had nightmares so he'd hold me. I just don't want him to forget me. He is my everything and the only thing I have. I'm the only person he has besides his little sister who lives with us. I'm still worried if she is going with James or if she is going to find something else to do since she is only 16 years old.
Today I woke up with James next to me holding me. I must have been crying in my sleep again since I have dried tears on my cheeks. I get up and look at my best friend. He is a beautiful man I will say. With his wanting to be in the military everything should work out. It was hard enough staying away from him for 3 months for basic training, the fact of going to different colloges is totally different.
I got up and made some pancakes and bacon. I also made some oatmeal for Kendell James little sister and I prepared some fruit salad for her lunch. " what a good mom!" James said to me after I gave Kendell her breakfast and lunch in a bag and sent her off to school on the bus. " yeah yeah yeah" I tell him playfully punching his shoulder. He laughs and grabs some pancakes and bacon off the plates and gets some butter and maple syrup. I smile as he brings it to the table for me. That's when I realize he only has on jeans which hang low on his hips letting all of his muscles show. He smiled at me and shook his head. He knows I check him out but the weird thing is we both don't like each other like that.
" My room is packed." He tells me and just like that my mood is bad again. " mine too" I say in a sad voice. I look at him. And he looks at me taking a big bite of pancakes and making a moaning sound yelling " BEST... FOOD... EVA!" I giggle at him and he smile triumphintally. " I'm gonna jack some of your shirts" I tell him. " Okay." He tells me. I look at him because he usually argues with me. " I already stole a couple of yours with a pair of jeans" I look at him weirdly. " your the weirdest human ever." I tell him laughing a bit and he he chuckles. " but you love me" he stands corrected. " sadly." I tell him with a smirk on my face trying not to laugh as he has the 'OH MY GOD WTF' look with his mouth hanging open I'm fake apalledness. I can't help it I laugh in seconds. " kidding you jack waggon."I tell him. " of course you are cause I am ton damn irresistable!" He says. I laugh at him and we Finnish eating.
