Okay so this is set in the summer before their senior year. And yes, there are quite a few time skips in this story, but that's what keeps it moving along; it's not really meant to be too long.
These chapters are short. Meant to be that way.
And still don't own MBAV. Not gonna any time soon.
…
"I'm moving." Benny just stared at his best friend, who he's known forever, as he sat there, a sad and broken look on his face.
"No. You can't be…" Benny couldn't even say the word.
"Dad got a promotion. It's in the United States."
"You're leaving the country?" Benny said, eyes wide in shock. Ethan just nodded. He looked so sad. "Y-you can't leave!"
"I don't really have a choice Benny…"
"Ethan… Y-you can't leave. You're my best friend."
"And you're mine. That's why I'm telling you first."
"No one else knows?"
"No."
"When do you … leave?"
"In a few weeks. I don't have an exact date yet."
"Okay. Then we gotta make these next few weeks count."
…
After Ethan left that night, Benny laid in his bed, eyes red from crying. He had kept it all in while Ethan was there, but now that he was alone … he couldn't handle it. Ethan couldn't leave. It's one thing to leave the town, but the country? Benny didn't think he could handle it. Ethan was his best friend, his other half. If he left, Benny was sure a part of him would be leaving as well.
He hated feeling like he was losing the most important person in his life.
…
Ethan hated the thought of packing. He looked at all the empty boxes stacked up in his room, waiting to be filled with all his stuff. He didn't want to leave. His senior year would be beginning in a couple of months, and he wanted to spend it with Benny and Rory, not somewhere where he didn't know anyone. He would be alone. He hated that thought. In all honesty, he couldn't remember the last time he had been alone.
Benny was always at his side.
