It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” my father hollered up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds upset.” As I came down stairs to pick up the phone, I was not happy. I was tired and had looked forward to a nice quiet evening at home, not another stupid adventure with Jackie. Thirty minutes later, however, Jackie’s silver Mustang convertible swung into our driveway, and Jackie was leaning on the horn before the car came to a full stop.

Not too long after that my body started to feel like it was floating off the ground. I felt dizzy and weak. My hands started to sweat and my body felt like it was heating up. As hard as it was I only had one person to really share my thoughts and feelings to and that person was Jackie.

“What! You are moving. Dude oh my-we grew up together since first grade,” my friend exclaimed.
“I know. I absolutely hate this. How about I move in with your family” I Suggested.
“Ha I was. But Joe my parents would never allow that,” my friend stated. Ding…ding…ding, it was the bell. It was time to head to class. As I walked into my class I looked around the room and noticed that everyone in there was having …show more content…
I took my last glimpse at my old house. I turned around and looked out the back window and watched Jackie follow us behind. I could see her wiping the tears off of her face. She had the most innocent looking face as if the whole world was taken away from her. As the cab approached the exit the driver put on the right turn signal to head over to the airport, but Jackie put on her left turn signal to head home. Then our cab drove away and I saw Jackie in her Silver Mustang get small and small as we got farther away. The suddenly she pulled out and drove away. That would be the last time I would ever see her again for the rest of my
