DID I EVER mean more to you than a distraction?
DID I EVER really make you genuinely smile or was that fake too?
DID I EVER make your heart beat rapidly like you claimed or was that another one of your personal illusions?

Hadley is going back to New York.The movie director needed her back on set plus Lacey needed her bed warmer back.I was really going to miss her and her off hand comments slash comebacks.
I was proud of Hadley she seemed to balance everything in her life perfectly almost enough to envy her.She was always by my side in everything and I loved her for that.Hadley deserved everything great that came her Lacey included.
"The director wants me on the set tommrow morning 6 A.M sharp"Hadley rants frantically packing her belongings in her cherry red suit case.Last Minute has been Hadley's thing since High School from assignment from waking up.
I roll my eyes at her playfully throwing her favorite beige cashmere sweater at her laugh -ing as it hit her face "Should have thought of that when you packed last minute"
Hadley removed the sweater off her head revealing the scowl that was etched onto her face before throwing the sweater into the pile with the rest of her clothes.
"Shut up"She mumbles tiredly. Who can blame her its 2 A.M her plane leaves at 3 and she's been up since twelve.She needs I quote her 'bootalious beauty sleep'.This was the only plane available that can make her arrive in New York on time.
"So did you buy the ring yet?"I ask trying to kick out the silence that had taken over the room so disrespectfully.
"No I just couldn't find the right one"Hadley mutters absent mindly zipping up her suitcase before packing the second one. She was tired before but just by me asking the question she seemed more awake.
"What do you mean?"I ask her plumping down on the bed she was packing on.
"They were to flashy and big Lacey isn't like that yes she stands out just like them big flashy rings do but she would want something humble and delicate like her inner self" She drones to me.Her speech was heartwarming and it made my heart leap in joy.I mean Hadley rarely gave a fuck about anything and the measures she's willing to go for Lacey shows how much she's grown as a person.
"That's just adorable"I coo at her smiling happily at watching a smile of her own took over and how her tired eyes oozed happiness at the the thought of Lacey.
"I know now let me finish packing"Hadley says playfully glaring at me huffing dramatically.

My Mom was driving us to the airport to drop off Hadley stating that Hadley was like another daughter to her and she wouldn't dare miss sending her off. Hadley was currently fiddling with the music station because she had once again nagged the passenger seat.
"So Kenny how did the charity ball go?Did anything interesting happen?" My mom ask meeting my eyes in the rearview mirror empathizing on the word inerest- ing.
"No nothing happened Mother" I reply adding the same amount of emphasize on the word mother as if warning her slightly.
"Ok ok no need to be hostile" My mother says lifting her hands in surrender before quickly putting them back on the wheel since she momentarily forgot she was driving.

"Bye Ley I'll be there to ask you about your movie in a week" I say hugging tight already dread- ing that she was gonna leave.
"Or you know you can just call and text instead of waiting weirdo" She replies laughing before releasing me before attacking my mother in bear hug.
"God Hadley"My mother chuckles staggering a bit on her feet trying to maintain her balance as she wraps her arm around Hadley thin waist.
They call out Hadley's flight and we all group hug before watch- ing her walk onto the plane.With- Out Hadley here I don't know what to do with my self.I mean she was always by my side she was kinda like my rock.Slow and persistent always driving me to do things I normally wouldn't do. She was with me 95% percent of the time and that remaining 5% percent was for bathroom breaks and class now she had let me strive on my own.
