I wake up to a text.

Matt😻🔥(he chose the emojis btw) - good morning beautiful. Maybe meet up at 1? I'd love to have lunch with you😊

I smile. This boy.

Me- of course💜 how about Applebee's? 😋

He texts back almost instantly. My heart beats so fast.

Matt😻🔥- sounds great ❣️

When I actually get up, I do all of the necessary things (brush teeth, makeup, hair, take shower etc).

Outfit:

I go into Savannahs room

I go into Savannahs room. It's about 10 only to see she's not there.

Huh. That's weird. My best friend never wakes up this early.

Her bed is made and a note is on her vanity.
It reads, sorry u don't want to hang with me. I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't bother trying to find me. I'm at Court's house. Good bye Pey.

I'm crying. My best friend is leaving me. After 12 years of friendship. The fight doesn't matter at all to me anymore. Just us being friends is all I care about. I can't stop crying. It's so hard to believe. I've gotta apologize.

I call Jacob immediately.

Jacob- hello?
Me- hi it's peyton. Look I need to know where Courtney's house is.
Jacob- why don't you ask your best friend? Oh wait you don't have one!
Me- look I know I did a terrible thing. I want to apologize. It was wrong of me to say those things. I judged Courtney too quickly. She seems nice. Please help me.
Jacob- fine. She lives at 529 South Willow Road.
Me- thank you thank you thank you. Bye
Jacob- bye.

I put on my vans and get into the car. I drive to Courtney's house. It took about 15 minutes.

As soon as I get out of the car, I run to the door. I knock. Footsteps come to the door. Courtney's mom opens it. "Hello. Can I help you?"

"Yes. Um, is Courtney and Savannah there? I need to talk to them." I say politely.

She nods. "They are upstairs. First door on the right."
I nod. As I walk into the house, it smells like vanilla.

I race upstairs and into the room.

When I open the door slowly, I hear someone crying.
"She's my best friend. I just don't understand why she doesn't want me to be her friend anymore. And after 12 years?!"

Savannah.

A tear falls down my face as I listen to her speak.

"Calm down. Everything's going to be okay. I know it will. If she truly loves you and doesn't want you to leave her, she'll come looking. I know she loves you. I promise you that." Courtney says.
