I sit on the floor looking at pictures of my mom and I. I miss her so much. I check the time and it's almost 10:30 in the morning. Katie is late. Yet, again. She was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago.
*HONK HONK* There she is.
I look outside my window and to comfirm my thoughts and see my bestfriend carrying my luggage to her car. I quickly grab my plain black backpack and shut the door to my bedroom which I won't be seeing ever again and run down the hallway almost tripping. That's how clumsy I am. The house is empty and I look through the empty rooms one last time and shut the front door. Leaving all the memories behind, both good and bad. Katie has already grabbed the two of the three small luggages I left on the porch and has put them in the trunk leaving it open for the last luggage which I grab.
"Hey Katie-Bear." I set down the luggage on the curb and run to her and give her a big hug. I'm going to miss her so much.
"Chrissy-Poo." She says hugging me and sniffles on the verge of tears. "I'm going to miss you so much."
"I'm going to miss you too. More than you think." We act like a couple. I'd rather be with her than the devil I call my boyfriend...
"You can stay here you know. My mom would love for you to." She lets me go holding just my shoulders.
"I know. You've told me this like a million times." I say sarcastically. "You know I would stay if I could. But I can't. Robert insisted on me staying with him." Robert... ugh. The man that I am forced to call my 'father'.
"And how is that supposed to work? You haven't seen him in five years. Yet alone talked to him."
"That's not necessarily true. I haven't talked to him for four." I laugh.
"Oh, so now you're defending him?" She wiggles her eyebrows.
"Oh yes. Most definately." Sarcasm really is my best friend.
"I'm going to miss your sarcasm so much. Please don't leave me." She says covering her face as she is now crying.
"Hey! I'm not leaving yet. We still have a good ten hours left."
"I know." She grabs the last luggage from the curb and walks to the trunk.
"Would've been ten and a half if someone got here on time."
"Haha. Get in the car you loser." She sarcastically laughs and shuts the trunk door and we make the hour trip to the mall and instantly walk into starbucks. I don't really have much money since most of it was used on my mom's treatments, but whatever money I did have was either saved for college or used on starbucks. I ordered my usual, the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuchino. It is like life itself. That, and pizza. Katie paid for both of our drinks even though I insisted on paying since I won't be seeing for a long time... maybe never. But knowing her, she will find a way to see me.
"So... What are you going to do about Justin?" She asks twisting the straw in the cool whip.
"Break up with him obviously."
"I know... But how? When?"
"I don't know... I was kind of hoping we'd have one of those break ups where the person just leaves and it's like obvious they aren't together anymore."
"But you know that's not how it's going to go."
"Yeah... I just... I don't want to see him again. He has caused so much pain. I have had too many nightmares about him."
"I know..."
"Yeah." There was silence for a good twenty seconds. "Are we just going to be silent to each other?"
