Dear Cristina,

Hiya! Today's the day. You're leaving to Pennsylvania and I still can't believe it. I just wanted to say a couple of things I probably never had a chance to say cause I never thought I'd actually have to, cause you already knew. But heck I'll say it anyway:

I'LL ALWAYS be there for u even if no one else is because I LIVE to see my friends with smiles on their faces cracking up at someone else's stupidity. I don't know what I'd do without u guys. You guys are the reason I wake up in the morning and actually get excited for school!

I'd move with you and since I can't I'm going to cry my eyes out because without you I'm not my complete self. You're one of the important building blocks in my life I love you so freaking much and I'm gonna miss you SOOOOO much but I'm promising myself that I'm gonna keep in touch. I love you and I'd do anything for you. I'd run 10 miles if that's where your favorite drink was, I'd swim to China if that's where your favorite technology was, I'd be with you through EVERYTHING if I could and since I can... I will.

Cristina Nicole Alvarez, if I ever knew you were going to move one of these days I would have saved all the AIM conversations we ever had. But I'm stupid and I didn't save any of them, sorry. But they're all stored in my heart and I promise I'll never forget them or the times you came over my house. That's why I give you my stuffed dog. His name is Sam and I trust you'll take care of him like I did. He was there for me through thick and thin, just like you, and even though I didn't cry on you and hug you tightly and drop you in cereal, I still love you from the bottom of my heart.

Cristina.Cristina.Cristina.Cristina...you're awesome! I love u I don't know what I'll do without you. You're the greatest friend a girl could ever ask for. I'm going miss you so so so much! You're my other half and the best one in the whole freaking world! I love u Nicole and I always will! You're the coolest half/sister/bffl and you will NEVER EVER be replaced! EVER! You've been my best friend for a long long time, I'll never forget you! Cristina Nicole Alvarez Chavez, I don't know you're just awesome, weird, crazy, funny, random you. And I don't think anyone could be greater then you. No homo. Just sisters. Partners in crime. And friends by fate.
And those haters can keep hating

I'll always love you and keep you first in my heart and you'll never be replaced, I swear…

Love your bffl/sister/other half,

Monica Lily Chavez Alvarez :)

That's what I wrote to my best friend, Cristina. You see the thing is that Cristina is my best friend always have, always will be. She's moving to Pennsylvania because her grandparents are sick and her mom didn't want to leave them alone in Pennsylvania while Cristina lived happily here in New York. Damn my life, its falling apart.
