"Text me every night" I call out to her.
"Okay mom" she teases me. My best friend was leaving, again, for college.
Some people might find it strange how close Sierra and I were, despite our age difference. I was 16 and she was 22. I had known her ever since I was 5 when she moved into the house across the street from mine She was the cloest thing I had to a sister.
"I'm gonna miss you Katie" she whispers in my ear as she snakes her arms around my neck. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her tightly.
"I don't know what I'm gonna do without you"
I helped her haul the last of her things into her car before she makes the long drive from Atlanta to New York. I slowly turn back to her car, as she slams the trunk shut. The tears roll down my cheeks as I latch on tightly to my best friend. Mascara smeared across my face and now the shoulder of her shirt. She steps into the driver's seat of her car and closes the door behind her, after looking over the scene one last time. Slowly, she turns on the car, waves one last time, and starts on her way to New York.
I slowly walk back to my house with tears staining my eyes. I walk quietly to my room without saying a word and cry myself to sleep.

This is based off one of my close friends who passed away a few months back and I took it pretty hard and they said the best thing would be to write out my feelings. Anyways so thank you for just reading it! It honestly means the world to me!! <3
