Why do you have to go?" Dylan asked in a soft tone of sadness.

I have been packing everything up for college lately and Dylan was helping me.

Dylan and I have been Best Friends ever since Kindergarten. I met him when I found him sitting on the floor stuffing Crayons in his nose. He was trying to make his snot turn into rainbow colors.. Typical Dylan.

"Dylan, you know I have to go." I said monotoning him.

Im not to fond of leaving my Best Friend and moving to college. Trust me, its going to be really hard. Im not very good at making friends.. I have a Social Anxiety Disorder. That's something only Dylan and my Family know. Because well... That's self explanatory.

Anyways, I really do want to go to college. Especially since its Stanford. But at the same time I don't want to leave him. Do you get what I mean?
"You don't have to go. You can stay here with me and we can--" He said then cut off at the last part.

"We can what?" I asked curious to what he was originally going to say.

"Nothing." He said in a quite matter.

I finished folding my last shirt, then put it in the box. I walked outside, in the cold rain to my car carrying some of my bags, while Dylan trailed along with the big things. We got everything in the trunk silently.

I couldn't take the silence any longer. So, I turned around to him and blurted out my first thought.

"Why don't you come with me? I wont be able to carry all of this alone." I said hoping he would say yes. But, he shook his head no... Just like I knew he probably would.

"Im sorry Cassidy. I cant do that. But I promise that I will FaceTime you every night." He said at first frowning but slowly forming a smile.

I gave him a tight hug.

"Goodbye Dylan. I will miss you." I said to him on the verge of tears.

"Goodbye Cassidy. I love you." He said.

"I love you to, Dylan." I replied.

Then I left. I had a feeling that I made the right choice, but at the same time my heart was saying I should have stayed with him. He is the only one that gets me for me. He is my Best Friend, he has always been there for me when I was going threw hard struggles in my life. And now Im saying goodbye... This is going to be hard.
