I couldn't hold the tears back anymore. The tears started the trickle out but soon went into a waterfall. I wasn't the only one crying though, Erica cried too.
"Girls," Connor and Quinn said rolling their eyes.
"We can hear you," we respond.
I spent what felt like 5 minutes talking to Erica and telling her how much I'm gonna miss her.
"U better not forget me," I say.
"How could I?" She responds.
"And we better text like every day."
"You betcha"
**honk honk**
"Moving vans here" My dad yells.
"Wanna help me pack a bunch of heavy boxes into a van?" I ask Erica knowing she will say no
"Nah I'm good Callie. Knowing me I will probably drop it."
"So, are you just gonna watch me carry out all my boxes to the moving van?"
"Yep! Sounds good!"
"Ughhhhh. You suckkkk."
"Love you too Callie."
I run upstairs to start bringing the boxes down
**knock knock**
I turn around and see Quinn.
"Hey," I say a little embarrassed because my eyes look all red and swollen from crying.
"You need help bringing the boxes down?" He asks.
"Yea that would be great cuz Erica bailed on me."
**Quinn laughs**
"What a shock," he responds
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, she has never been one to do any heavy lifting."
"True. So you can grab the box over there," I say pointing to the box on my dresser
"Got it," he responds grabbing the box.
It took us quite some time to put all of my boxes in the van. There was only one box left when Quinn said:
"Hey, Callie..."
"Yea?" I respond
"I know it doesn't seem like it but I'm gonna miss you"
"Me too Quinn."
"I've known you for as long as I've known Connor if you think about it."
"Yea, that's like 5 years?"
"Yep!" A long silence fills the room before he says "Man I'm really going to miss you Callie. Like really miss you..."
At that moment I didn't know what to say. Like what was I supposed to say? "Yea me too." Then I realize another awkward silence fills the room again and at this moment I realize that Quinn and I are inches apart. He tilts his head and moves closer. My heart starts racing. Why me? Out of everyone, why me? Does Quinn like me? Me? That can't be. But I'm moving. The next thing I knew Quinn's lips were pressed up against me.
