The Lovely And The Lonely

The Last Goodbye

So, my last day of school. I Mean, here in Ecuador, my birth home, where I grew up, and the place where all my family lives, well, until three months ago, when my mom told me that she's gonna get married, with a family friend. His name is Ethan but that doesn't matter because everyone calls him Ace, because he is just so nice... he is one of the most caring people in all the world, you can count on him for everything you need, Focus Sam! you need to focus, this is your last day here

I think is fair if I introduce myself first, my name, as i said before, is Samantha Jackson, or just Sam, and im 14 years old. I live alone with my mom since my dad left us, I was a baby, so I don't remember much. Anyway, I'm happy with what I have.

Im packing my bags, one by one. You know? It's funny how the time passes by so fast, one day you're just taking your first steps, and now, out of nowhere, my Whole life is gonna change forever, and I dont know if it is for good.

we were suposed to be heading to the US in a week, but something happened and now we are flying tonight, so that's kinda bad news for everyone.

-Sam Sweety, breakfast is ready!- my mom yells downstairs

I should be helping her. I always do, but now with the country moving thingy im a little off my mind.

My mom, Lauren, is my superhero, we are the best friends, she is always there for me, and after we were left behind, it has been rough times, but as i said she is a superhero that cares about everyone. I'm just like her, same eyes, same hair, same everything, only that she is taller. To be honest, everyone is taller than me

I run downstairs and give my mom a kiss

-hi mother

-Mother? What happened with the mommy beautiful that I love so much?

-if I say it you're buying me new things?

-maybe

-then, how are you my favorite mommy beautiful that I love

-ha ha- she says sarcasticly- eat, and then you have to go to your last day of school, aren't you excited?

-sorta, I don't even know how to feel, nervous, maybe?

-just calm down and let it flow... Que sera, sera. whatever will be, will be...- she starts singing

-mom, stop

-don't you like that song? Emma loves it as I do

-that's because she's as old in her mind as you.

-that's why I love your best friend more than you

-very funny, mother

-and, we are with mother again. Finish your breakfast daughter

-what happened with honey and swetty

-they went away with mother

I hold my pancake on my hand while im heading to the car

-Well, in less than 24 hours I'll be on a plane- I say out loud

-aren't you excited? In a few hours we are going to the US- my Mom says

-yes... And no- I answered

-how's that again?- says with a weird expression on her face

-the thing is that I'm moving to another place that makes me happy because we are going to meet new people, which means new friends, which means more people in my social circle, which means that I will be very popular, which means I'm not gonna be alone, but that means that I'm gonna lost all my friends here- I say fast without taking air
