Camila.

I stand in my empty apartment in the doorway to the living room, looking around at the bare walls, where all of my pictures once hung, as glad as I am to be leaving this place, I'm also extremely sad about it, this is where Harmony first learned to crawl, first learned to walk, said her first word, so many of her firsts happened in these very walls, and it's like I'm saying goodbye to them, I know I'll always have those memories in my head, but I'll never be able to stare in this room again and see them take place like a movie.

"Hey, we just loaded the last of the boxes on" I hear Dinah say behind me.

"Okay" I nod.

"You okay?" She asks resting her hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah" I nod.

"Remember when you first moved into this place?" Dinah asks looking at me with a smile.

"You mean the week when the elevator was broken and I had to carry two giant suitcases up the stairs?" I ask her.

"Yeah and you nearly fell back and cracked your head open, but luckily I was behind you and caught you" Dinah smiled.

"Aww yes my knight in shining armour" I chuckled.

"Yeah yours and Harmony's"

"God she was literally the size of a tomato then" I shake my head softly.

"I know, and in two weeks time she's going to be four, it's insane how time flies" Dinah shakes her head.

"I can't believe that in three months time it would have been five years since we met each other"

"I know right, I can't believe I even kept you around for all these years" Dinah shoves my shoulder softly.

"Hey I'm fabulous and you know it" I laugh shoving her back.

"Eh you're alright I suppose, but the truth is, I only stuck around for Harmony" Dinah smirks.

I gasp and put my hand over my chest.

"That one actually hurt" I pout.

"Suck it up, it's the truth"

"You're so mean" I roll my eyes.

"I love you really, you know that" Dinah smiles wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug.

I've always loved hugging Dinah because of our height difference, plus she gives really amazing hugs, just don't tell Lauren that, it'd probably hurt her feelings.

"It's time to say goodbye to this place" Dinah sighs as we pull apart.

"Is it weird that I feel sad about leaving here?" I ask Dinah.

"Nah I don't think so, this is your first home you know, you built this place into what it was, this is where you raised Harmony, it's right to feel sad about it, and to miss it"

"God I am going to start getting emotional" I wipe underneath my eyes as I feel tears starting to form.

"Aww Mila, you've got the memories and the videos, you don't need the place" Dinah smiles wrapping her arm over my shoulders to comfort me.

"You're right" I nod.

"I can't believe you're leaving me though, I can't just walk down a flight of stairs and walk into your home anymore, you're a twenty minute walk up the road, I'm going to miss my best friend" Dinah pouts.

"You don't have to miss her D" Lauren says entering the apartment.

"But I'm going to, you stole her from me" Dinah turns.
