"I'll miss you!" My best friend said as we both stood on her drive. We were eight years old and Mitchie was moving away, we had spent the past two weeks sitting in each other's houses crying, crying at the memories, crying at the stupid things we had done and the things we never get to do. "I'll miss you too!" I replied crying. I couldn't believe Mitchie, my Mitchie was moving away to completely different country "I hope I see you again Mitch." I stated. "You will Alex! Don't worry; remember your coming to stay with me in the summer!" Mitchie said, reminding me of the plans we had for the summer holidays, I was going to stop with her for 3 weeks and then she was going to stop with me for 2 month! Neither of us could wait for that summer and it was the best summer we ever had by far and at the end of the summer we went through the whole process again though we both collapsed on the drive crying this time.
That was the last time I ever seen Mitchie, when we were both crying on my drive at the end of the summer. Once she went home I never seen her in person again, we texted, we called and skyped and everything else we could do then but we were never face to face. Her parents said it was too much for her to come over here to New York and that it was too much for me to go to Canada, I never thought it was and neither did Mitch. We would spend hours ranting about it all and how unfair it was that everyone else got to see their best friend and I never ever got to see Mitch.

"It's unfair Mitchie! We never get to see each other; it's not as if you're on the other side of the world!" I moaned on Skype one day, I had an hour spare so I decided to Skype Mitch if she wasn't busy. Luckily she wasn't. "I know Alex but we can't do anything, they think were little ten year olds who don't need anything and I do know that we don't have much money living here, that's one of the reasons were not allowed because you would always be coming up here and I would never get the chance to come down there and my mom doesn't want you spending all your money coming up here." Mitchie said smiling at me "I see where you're coming from Mitch; I honestly do but why they can't just let me once in a while or if it's that bad why can't my mom and Dad pay for you to come back down here?" I replied curiously "I don't know Alex but I have to go I have singing lessons to go to!" She said about to shut down the Skype call "ok! Bye!" I stated and ended the call.
These are some of the memories I have of me and Mitchie and each of them near enough make me cry but then I think about the day when I text Mitch and I got a text back telling me to go away and never talk to her again, I understand where she was coming from but that broke my heart and it still upsets me when I think of it now. She never even replied when I text her saying love you, so I knew she was being deadly serious.
That's in the past now though, I've grew up and so has she and we haven't talked for 5 years now. Ever since we were thirteen, I sent her birthday wishes every year but with no reply and no indication as to whether or not she got my texts yet at least once a month her mom texts mine to tell her how Mitchie's doing but my mom won't tell me a word as to what is said on the phone to Connie!
