Trust

I only made one friend when I moved to Seattle from my very small town and she has stuck by me since the beginning.

Her name is Emma Kearby and she's the best thing to ever happen to me. Not because she became my friend when I needed one so desperately, but because she simply just knew me better than anyone ever has and has been there through everything so far.

She even said good bye to me before I left which was amazing, seeing no one else had come. They all said it was my fault I was leaving and that I had to deal with the embarrassing event on my own.

In a way it was embarrassing, but I knew deep down it wasn't. I tried everything I could to stop all those damn bullies. It just seemed they were set on destroying me, ruining me in every possible way.

The thing about Emma was that she always knew when words were needed and when they weren't. She knew not only what words to say, but some times she didn't and that's what made her great.

She was just human and kind hearted. She had faults and she knew that, but she used her insecurity to help others instead of hurting them. That's why she was the best thing to ever happen to me because she honestly loved and cared for me like a sister should.

I remember how we met and I still giggle over it.

I fell down in front of her.

On my face to be exact, yet she didn't laugh and make fun of me like everyone else. She pulled me up and smiled at me then I almost fell, again. Now, that I look back I find it a funny and heartwarming moment instead of a humiliating first impression.

From then on we trusted each other and never doubted the other. Which led to a lot more laughs and smiles than you could imagine. She's what kept me sane and, somewhat, ok during these last couple of years.

Whenever I needed her she was always there, even when the news about my dad came.

I trust her with everything, even my heart and soul. That's why it was so hard to let go before I got in the car and drove away. I miss my sister dearly, but I know she's alright.

Soon we're both going to be more than alright and I know we'll be able to laugh together again.
