my brother's bestfriend

27

It's been a month since Harry left... A month! I've never missed him so much, the first two weeks he was gone he would call me every night but all the sudden he never talks to me. I'll text him and he won't reply until hours later, mostly when i'm about to sleep.

Justin hasn't really been affected about his best friend leaving the U.S because he's always out partying. They video chat once in a while, but Justin doesn't really take interest in Harry for some reason, I don't know why.

My alarm goes off causing me to jump. Groaning, I reach over to my phone that's on my bedside table, I turn it off and grab my backpack from across the room. Why do I have so much homework today?

"Chris?" Justin says behind my door, when I tell him to join me he opens the door slowly.

"What's up?" I ask, patting on the bed motioning him to sit.

"We need to talk about something" he looks into my eyes making me nervous. Did he find out about what me and Harry did?

"Uh, okay" I say trying to straighten myself up.

"So I've been thinking.. Well, I don't really have much over here anymore." he says looking down to his hands.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm thinking about going to a collage next year that isn't exactly close."

"What do you mean by that?" I question.

"Arizona." I drop my pencil onto my paper at his answer.

"Arizona.. The Arizona that is across the country. On the freaking West coast?" I begin to get loud, "Why the hell would you want to leave that far? You have family, the hell do you mean you have nothing left over here?" I roll my eyes and keep my eyes locked on him.

"I have good opportunities there Chris. And I was thinking, maybe I should try something new. Like once I get there and I meet people I can tell them I came from all the way over here. I also have weather that I can experience, not like the weather over here. I can do so much Chris, I was just hoping that you would support me." He finishes.

"But I don't want you to leave. I'm not saying to not have a great future because I do, but that far? Really?" I pout.

"Yes, and i'm planning on applying there. I hope you'll change your mind and not be selfish about it, I know you love me and everything but it's not like i'm leaving forever. I can come visit and contact you guys all the time." He lays his hand on my shoulder.

"You're right I guess" I sigh in defeat, "But if you were to get in and go, you can't forget about me. Or mom or dad do you understand?" I point out to him.

"Yes, yes I do." he rolls his eyes and chuckles, "Come here." he opens his arms and I lean in to give him a hug.

"I'm going to miss you." I whisper.

"You're not going to loose me, never."

I finish my homework and put it back into my book bag, just then my phone rings. I rush to my phone, knowing its Harry because of the specific ringtone I gave him and no one else. I roll my eyes at my childish way of being excited.

"Harry" I speak into the phone, laying it down and putting him on speaker.

"Hey" he speaks, I smile at the sound of his voice, it seems as if I haven't heard it in years even though it's only been a couple weeks.

"I miss you so much." I laugh.

"I miss you just as much babe. How was your day?" he asks, I hear fumbling in the back round but I ignore it.

"It was okay I guess.. That was until my brother told me about him wanting to move to Arizona for collage." I sigh laying my hand on my forehead.

"Oh so he finally told you?" What?

"Wait.. So you knew? Yes he finally told me." I roll my eyes, how come Justin never told me before?

"Hey don't get mad at me, it wasn't my place to tell you. And yeah he's been planning it since junior year. He just didn't want to tell you yet because he didn't want you to be upset." Harry explains.

"I'm sorry it's just that I am upset. Exactly what he thought, like how could he just leave his family? Everything that he has over here he wants to throw it all away. Like there so many good collages over here, i'm not saying it has to be in this state, like he can be at least four hours away if he wants. But really? Across the damn country? I'm sorry for my use of words but what the hell? And he should've told me earlier so I could understand and stuff like that, but no he wants to wait until last minute. The school year is almost over which means the sooner he has to leave. It's already April and school ends in June! That's less than two freaking months. How am I suppose to deal with that? And he said that he was thinking of applying but I know damn well he already did and is probably already accepted. He's so smart how could any collage reject him?" I ramble to him, I feel so dumb. As if I sound like an annoying whiny little girl. Of course Justin was going to grow up and leave the house.. But I don't want him to. Not yet.
