Loosing Grip Prologue
July 24th 2005
Do you know how sometimes life is good? Even when you are me, who has a negative attitude towards everything, you still have to admit that life has its high points. Right now was one of those times. But I knew something that was going to make it a low point. "Mandy, why does the sun look all yellow?" the idiot beside me asked. We were watching a sunset, all three of us. Me, Billy, and Grim. We were 'Bestest friends forever'. "Because it is," I said to him sternly. I didn't want to get into it too much. I had to tell them sooner or later. But I didn't want to ruin the moment yet. This was still a high point. "Kids, what do ya wanta do?" Grim said as the sun finished setting. We know had nothing to do all night. "Grim. Never ask that question around this idiot." I sneered to grim. He should know better, but apparently he never learns. "Umm...Can we... Uhh... I dunno! What do you wanta do Mandy?" Billy had to add a stupid smile with it. I had to tell them this was our last adventure. I had to tell them now. But... I had to. "I..." I chocked up. Billy and Grim looked like they were children having a story told to them. "I'm Moving," I said. They seemed confused but soon Grim understood. Billy was clueless. "When?" Grim asked me, excluding Billy from the conversation. "The 27th" I said solemnly. Grim looked shocked. "You tell us three days before ya go! What's wrong witcha girl?" he was dumbfounded. "I'm leaving you here with Billy anyways. He'll need you more," I said. I got up. Billy still didn't understand any of this. "This is probably the last night we are gonna go on an adventure so you better make it snappy grim" I had to keep being me. I can't let anything bother me. "Umm.. Okay kids. Lets go to the uhh... FROZEN YOGURT HUT!" he yelled and brought us through a portal.

"This is it," I said as I packed my things in my suitcase. This was the last time I'd see my room. The last time I'd see the town. The last time I'd see... Them. I looked out my window and saw them on Billy's front yard. They looked so happy. Happy without me. I knew they'd be fine. Unless... No. I can't worry about it. I can't show any emotion. I ran down stares with my suitcase and threw it into the car. Billy saw me and waved for me to come over. He still didn't understand I was leaving for good, the poor idiot. Grim dragged Billy over to my lawn, he knew I couldn't really leave the lawn until I was in the car. "Bye Guys" I said to them. Grim looked like he was going to cry outta those eye-sockets of his. "Why are you guys all sad?" Billy looked so innocent. He really had no idea. "Billy I'm leaving." I tried to get it through his head. "No your not!" he said as he grabbed my shoulders. He pulled me in protectively. "Who are you and what have you done with Mandy," he whispered in my ear. "Ugh you idiot!" I slapped him and he knew it was me. "But, when will you be back?" he cocked his head to the side. "Never Billy. I probably wont ever see you again." I said it as if it was regular conversation. "No. NO!" he said as he embraced me once again. He kissed my cheek and I wiped the Billy-drool off with my arm. "Bye Billy" I said as I walked away. "Bye grim" I called over my shoulder. I got into the car and soon enough we were on the road. We were going somewhere pretty far away. I didn't even know the name of the town, or if it had a name.
