(BTW its 8th grade)

I walk inside of the boys house. My bestfriends in the entire world

"Nick, Chris, matt" I yell out and walk into their rooms

Chris is the only response I hear

"Yn?" He yells and comes out

"Is it just you here?" I ask and he nods

I sit at the island and Chris grabs a Pepsi and sit next to me

I start to blush knowing how close we are

Secretly I have a crush on Chris, but I would never tell him or anybody ever because it would ruin our friendships

I look at chris and we lock eyes

I take a quick glimpse at his lips and back to his eyes and he leans in

I close my eyes and his lips brush against mine

He pulls away after a second or two and we make eye contact again

From then on me and Chris had little moments that meant big things to me

I started to get nervous when I knew I was gonna see my best friends because I was gonna see

HIM

I started looking even more forward to it because me and Chris secretly liking eachother made it ten times better

Another moment happened when it was just us two alone

We encountered another kiss and it felt electric. Right after I had to go home though because my mom wanted me home, I told her I was gonna talk to the boys for a little bit but truly I knew Chris was home alone

-months later

I walked downstairs to get a drink and my mom was on the phone

I grabbed a glass and she hung up

"Yn, can I talk to you about something" she sits

"Uh sure, what about?"

"Yn....we're moving"

"What? No! We're not leaving"

"We have to yn. It's for my work" she says

"Then I'll stay you leave"

"Your 14 you can't love alone"

"I can!"

"Yn. We're moving that's final"

I ran up to my room crying and jump into my bed

-days later

My face is warmed by tears as I say goodbye to Nick Matt and Chris.

I hug each of them for what I wish was forever

Once I hugged Chris I started sobbing

"I guess it's over then" he whispers

I nod slowly as I huff

I pull away and try to smile at them all

I get in the backseat of the car and lay across the three seats

I cried the entire drive

-in her new home

We arrived to our new 'home' and I was mad at my mom for making me leave my only friends

I walk up to my new room and look around

After my bed was put together I layer and stared at the ceiling of my new jail cell

Empty. No decorations. No memories. No Nick. No Matt. No Chris. Nothing

I was empty because I had nobody but myself and the dust bunnies

I sat in my bed for hours and realized there's no escaping this. I can't go back.

There's no way for me to get there, maybe the bus?? No. I have no money. I could get a job though? No, it'll take to long.

I could runaway? No..mom will call cops

I spent days in myroom sleeping. Sleeping. Sleeping.

The only time I left was for food and to go to the bathroom

Mom would try to get me to come out but I'd lock the door. That was the only good part of my room

But the worst part was no Chris.

I kept thinking about that.

Nothing else. Just them

I loved them

I love them

I miss them

I wish I could've stayed.

I would stay forever and ever til I died if I could

But I can't.
