The Boy I Used to Know

Prologue

   Anna P.O.V in 2nd grade

"Stop it Leave me alone" Ugh why do they always pick on me. I feel more tears run down my face as they shove me into the wall.
"Please stop it!" I cry even harder as they corner me.

"What are you gonna do about it ."I hear Jacob say and I whimper quietly. I try to push past them, but I just get shoved harder.

"Please just let me go!"

"Hey leave her alone!" I look over and see a boy standing behind them looking upset.

Jacob turns around to look at him, "Make me!"

I see the boy shove him hard enough he hits the ground. I use the opportunity of him being out of the way and run away from the wall.

Jacob stands up and brushes himself off. "Ugh." He storms off his friends following him.

I sigh in relief, "Thank you for um getting them to stop." I smile shyly.

"No problem. I'm Nick!" he says grinning widely

I can't help but let a wide smile spread across my face, "I'm Anna!"

" Wanna play tag?"

"Heck yeah!" I can't stop smiling. I have a new friend!!

Anna's P.O.V in 7th grade

I smile as I walk to Nicks house. He had missed school for the last couple of days, so I assume he's sick. I reach his house, but my face turned to utter confusion as I notice somethings are missing. Where did their cars go and their bikes? I walk to the door and knock on it but no answer.

"Nick?" I call out and look in the window. I gasp as I realize the house is completely empty. What!? Where is everything? It dawns on me that they moved, and I didn't get a single goodbye. My eyes water as I realize my best and only friend is gone and he didn't say a word about it.

I feel a few tears slip down my face and I storm away from the house angry, sad but most of all hurt that he just up and left without telling his best friend.

Nicks P.O.V

I stare out the car window as I think about how Anna might react to us leaving. I wish I could've told her but its for the best...right? I sigh as I realize I picture how angry she'll be. A tear slips down my face at the thought of her hating me. All I can think is that if she hates me it'll hurt less, I hope.

"Mom where are we going?"

"Somewhere better. You'll love it. I swear."

"Ok." I miss Anna.

"Mom? Will we ever come back?"

"I don't know sweetheart...I don't know."
