Goodbye San Antonio

___________________________________

Ashleys POV

I started curling my hair because it was 5 and Jc was coming at 7. I'm still in shock of today. And I still don't know how I'm going to tell them. I'm probably not going to talk to my dad till the day I leave. I'll have Ricardo take me to the airport, I don't want my dad there. Gosh, Ricardo is coming in like an hour. Shit. How the hell am I going to tell him ? I've never seen him cry. I wonder if he will even cry, because I know i'll cry. I'm leaving my best friend that i've known for over a decade! I can't believe this, Its so unreal. When I finished curling my hair 40 minutes had passed. I wasn't going to change until Jc was on his way, right now I'm wearing shorts and a royal blue tank top. All I had to do was my Make up. I decided just to put waterproof mascara on and waterproof eyeliner because I knew I was going to be crying. I got my outfit ready but I wasn't going to change yet. All of a sudden I heard a knock on the door and it wasn't just Ricardo, Jc was with him. Now I have to explain with both of them here. Great, you would think it would be easier but Its harder then you think. I hugged Ricardo really tight first and then he knew something was up. He gave me this look like, oh my gosh somethings wrong. Then I hugged Jc for a long time and then I started crying in his arms.

Jc : whats wrong ?

He let go and we all sat on my bed.

Me : So you guys know how my mom lives in San Clemente ?

Both of them : Yes...

Me : Well I'm going out there at the end of school..

Jc : Oh well whats wrong with that ?

Ricardos POV

Oh my gosh. I already know what shes going to say but I'm hoping its not what I think it is. I can already feel my eyes watering at the words of...

" I'm not staying there just for the summer.. "

I can't believe this. I had to get up and walk to the bathroom. I didn't want her to see me cry. I can't let her because she leans on me to make her stronger thru everything. I probably was in there for about five minutes crying. I can't imagine my life with out her. Thats been my best friend for over ten years and now shes leaving me for the rest of her life, I know I still have Jc but he doesn't go to school with me and hang out with me everyday. I have to go back and ask what happened, I hope I don't cry, I just can't cry in front of her.

When i walking back in the room Jc was cuddling her in his arms.

Me : I'm sorry, I just needed some fresh air to take this whole thing in. So what exactly happened ?

She told us everything. I feel like breaking down so much. but all I said was, " So thats what your mom ment about the summer.. " And she just nodded . My best friend is officially leaving in less then two weeks. And the worst thing is I can only hang out with her on the weekends because she has to pack. Shes not even going to school for the next two weeks. These next two weeks are going to be horrible...

- Last weekend in Texas -

* friday morning *

Ashleys POV

Wow. This is my last week in San Antonio. No more going to the mall everyday or hanging out with my best friends. This really sucks. All of my stuff is already in California except some clothes for this weekend. I had my car shipped out there to but I have to get my license since I only have my permit. And my mom said she got a California license plate for it and fixed up the scratches. I still wanted my Texas plate but. whats done is done. I'm going to be at Ricardos this whole weekend. Hes going to pick me up in a little bit. Hes taking me to the airport Monday morning. I feel like I haven't seen him in years and its only been a week. I can't ever imagine being away from him for a whole year. This is hurting me so much. I hate this. I hate my dad. I hate everything. Great, I have to say by to my dad today because I'm not coming back home after this day. I hate him so much right now but I have to put myself together to say bye. I put my luggage downstairs by the door so i'll be ready when Ricardo gets here. I made a bowl of cereal and then my dad came downstairs. Oh my, I have to tell him I'm leaving right now. Here goes nothing.
