"So...you're leaving me,"Sarah reponded.

"I literally ranted to you for two hours and that's all you take from it?" I asked.

It amazing how skilled Sarah is, the one person who can listen to an entire lecture and only pick out the parts she wants and ignore the rest. Not going to lie, I do the same thing, it's just annoying when she does it to me.

Hypocritical, I know.

My bestfriend kept eye contact, raising a perfectly curved brow, "That didn't answer my question."

I sighed, giving up before the arguement can even start, "Yes, I'm leaving you, I have no choice."

"Or...," she shrugged,"I could just kidnap you."

I looked at her, "Ahaha. No."

She shrugged and got up to change in her bathroom, leaving me to my thoughts. I was really going to miss my life, or at least what semblance I had of it. I had never really went to socials or had many friends, it was mostly Sarah and I against the world, she forced herself into my life my sophomore year, making sure she sat next to me in all of my classes, ever since then she's been the Dr. Jeckle to my Mr. Hide.

She would get mad saying that she should be Mr.Hide, adamant that she was crazier than me, to which I would disagree saying I have more...mental issues, for lack of better word.

Maybe I just need to leave this town, give Sarah the space to have a better life, better friends. I'm just holding her back in my mind, shes always there when I have anxiety, or I'm in a depressed state, or when I have nightmares and so many other things.

Before I could dig myself a deeper mental pit, Sarah came out of the bathroom dressed in some comfy clothes and put her hands on her hips.

"So here's the plan, your gonna stay with me for a few days and then, since you so love your alone time, I will allow to leave my amazing presence to mentally prepare for Massachusetts. Is that good?" She asked.

We both knew she only asked out of courtesy, I didnt really have a choice. So instead of trying to wiggle out of it, I just nodded.

****

The four days I spent at Sarah's felt like forever, but in a good way. We watched movies, ate, cried over me leaving, and angrily argued over who got the last chicken nugget in our 20 piece.

But truthfully I was really going to miss her. She threatened to cut off my genitals if I didn't call her at least once every week.

I smiled at the thought as I walked back home. The clouds fear and anxiety for my future away from home temporarily evaporated, leaving only blue skies of hope and optimism.

Maybe this wont be as bad as I think.
