As I waited on the beach for Anthony, I could feel my heart thumping in my chest.
Why me? Why must I move?
I already knew the answer, but I didn't want to think about it. All I wanted to do was stare at the ocean and soak up the view as much as I could before leaving it.
Not too much later, Anthony showed up. He plopped down next to me. I felt like crying.
He looked at me and said,
"Nice necklace."
I smiled, but I was also fighting back tears. My life was perfect. Now I have to move away from my favorite place in the world and leave my best friend behind? It didn't seem right.
"Thanks. I'll never take it off. Never."
He grinned.
We sat in silence for a pretty long time. I guess knowing that I won't be doing this anymore really kills the mood.
"Well, this is your last night, so we should probably do something other than just sit here. Want to jump over waves in the ocean?"
"Sure."
We walked out into the ocean when some dolphins came by. It was that exact moment when I realized that I knew one of them.
"Bubbles!"
Yes, it was Bubbles the dolphin. Anthony and I swam around with him for a while until he swam away.
"Bye Bubbles! We'll miss you!"
I kept my eyes fixed on Bubbles until he was completely out of sight, since I wouldn't be seeing him again any time soon. The thought made my heart ache.
"I'll send you lots of pictures of Bubbles and me on the beach together so you never forget us."
When Anthony said that I felt my heart tear in two.
"Okay, thanks."
We stayed in the ocean for a little longer and then went out to our blanket.
The night was so beautiful. Anthony put his arm around me into a half hug and squeezed me tight as if he'd never let go.
Honestly, I didn't want him to let go. Just keep me here forever. Please.
The sun went down and the night was over. I'd leave in the morning. Anthony sent a sad look my way and hugged me ever so tight. I hugged back.
Just a few days ago we were positive that we'd be doing this forever, but things change, and they don't always change in the way you'd like. You just have to deal with it.
