kasey's pov

today's the day. the day I have been dreading for weeks. the day my best friend would be moving away.

"do you really have to go?" i asked putting emphasis on have. i was sitting on jacksons bed. watching him pack up any last minute items that he was to lazy to get the day before.

"you know i don't want to kas, but my moms making me." he said with a sad look in his eyes. he closed up the final box and sat down next to me.

"i'm going to miss you. school definitely won't be the same. who am i going to talk to?!" i began to panic.

i've never really been the best at making new friends. and on top of that, i'm not really into a lot of things that the girls at my school are, so even if i tried, they wouldn't want to hang out with me. i have no interest in liking boys. i don't like makeup. I don't like to dress up. most days you'd see me wearing jeans and a t-shirt. i guess you could call me a tomboy.

"don't worry kasey. i'm sure you can hang out with bobby and some of his friends!" jackson smiled. i chuckled and gave a small smile back. "true, but it still isn't going to be the same." i sighed.

there was a moment of awkward silence before jackson was about to say something, but was then was cut off by his mother telling him it was time to go.

"well i guess this is it." jackson sighed.

"this is it? no! this isn't it!" i exclaimed. "we will see each other again soon, right?" i gave jackson a hopeful look as he just looked at his feet.

"i don't know, kasey." he began. "i'm moving pretty far away, it might be awhile." he said, his voice cracking at the end.

"oh, jackson. don't cry. you're going to make me cry." i said trying to calm not only him but myself down. but, i seem to have failed when i saw a single tear slip down jacksons cheek.

"no. jackson, please don't do this." i pleaded, a few tears now finding there way out of my eyes. i never cry. i don't like crying. even in terrible situations, i always some how find a way to stay strong. but this was different. i was losing my best friend. i hate to admit it, but i was. i mean think about it. there's no way jackson and i where going to keep in touch for the rest of our lives. i just had to face it. maybe this was it.

"kas-" jackson began but i cut him off but giving him the biggest hug i have ever given him. he immediately hugged back and we just sat on the edge of his bed, crying into each other's arms.

"jackson what's taking you-" jackson's mother, dj, began as she walked into his room. she cut herself off as soon as she saw us.

"aw you two. you know i hate to tear you two apart. but, we just can't live here anymore. i know change isn't easy but you'll both get through it. just like you always do." dj said softly as she kneeled down in front of us.

"are you sure?" i asked, letting go of jackson and wiping away a few stray tears. "positive." dj replied with a small smile.

"well, the moving truck is waiting. i'll bring down these boxes while you two say your goodbyes." dj said pointing to the boxes that where still sitting on jackson's bed. as soon as dj left the room i stood up, jackson doing the same.

"promise me you'll call everyday." i demanded, teasingly pointing a finger at him. "i promise." jackson chuckled putting his hands up in surrender. i soon join in the laughter and pull him in for another hug.

"i'm gonna miss you so much." i sighed into his shoulder. "me too." jackson also sighed into my shoulder. jackson and i are the same height, but I have a feeling we won't be for long.

our little goodbye moment was rudely interrupted by the loud honking sound of dj's car.

"goodbye, kasey." jackson said, stepping out of his bedroom door for the last time. "goodbye jackson." i sighed. he gave a small smile a turned away heading down the stairs and outside where his mother is waiting for him.

i walked over to the bay window and sat down. i looked outside to see jackson taking one last look at his old house. he must have seen me looking at him because he immediately gave a small wave. i waved back and sighed as i watched him get into the back of the car and close the door.

i let a single tear slip down my cheek as i watched them drive away.

"kasey! we need go home!" i heard my father call from downstairs.

i sat up and walked towards the door. i tuned around a looked around the room for one last time. even though it was completely bare, i could still remember every detail from when all of jacksons things where in here.

his bed. his dresser. all of his posters. even where he hung all of his skate boards. i sighed as I turned back around a headed down the stairs where my parents where waiting for me.

"come on, kiddo." my dad, adam, says as he puts a hand on my back and leads me to the car. before getting in i take one last look at the house. i'm sure gonna miss this place i thought as I climbed into the back seat.

i stared out the window the entire car ride. i just couldn't help and think, will we be able to keep this promise?
