i walked downstairs to get the door. i already knew it was benji. i was leaving today and he came to say goodbye. the second i opened the door, i was tackled by the other boy. we ended up on the floor, hugging each other while laughing endlessly.
"i'm really gonna miss this," i said, tears in my eyes from both laughing so had and being emotional.
"same here," he said, a small smile on his face.
"jorge, we have to leave," my mom said, walking up behind us.
we both stood up from the ground, arms still tightly wrapped around each other.
"i got you something," i said, tears still streaming down my face.
"you d-did?" benji asked, his face still pointed towards the ground.
i pulled out a friendship bracelet from my pocket. benji's was green, his favorite color, and said best friends on it. i pulled up my sleeve to show a matching blue one on my own wrist.
"it's so we won't forget each other." i explain, pulling my sleeve back down.
the other boy immediately slips the present onto his own wrist, tightening it to size, and hugging me once again.
"i could never forget you jorge. you're my best friend ever."
"jorge we really have to go now." my mom said, dragging the both of us out of the empty house and closing the door behind her.
she grabbed benji and i and pulled us both into a group hug.
"we'll miss you, benji," she said kindly.
"i'll miss the both of you too," the crying boy replied.
she let go of us so we could get in one last hug before she tore us apart, for who knows how long, it could be forever. i felt benji's hands slip away from my reach and i looked back at him.
he was crying so hard. all i wanted to do was to run over to him and hug him and tell him everything's gonna he alright, but i couldn't do that while tears were also uncontrollably falling down my face.
he was my only friend, and i lost him.
