A week had passed and the day of the unwanted departure was almost here. Little had been said between my parents and I, it was usually just the awkward greeting in the morning, neither of us wanting to cause any conflict before the big day.

Tomorrow would be the day that I would say goodbye to my whole world and step into a new one. I woke up early in the morning, early being ten, and quickly had a shower and sorted through what was left of my clothes until I found something to wear. After about half an hour of searching I wore this cgi/set?id=60130971 and quickly braided by golden hair. I grabbed my phone and wallet before I heard a car honking outside. I ran down the stairs yelled bye to whoever was in the living room and closed the door behind myself.

"Lily!" Nicole screamed as I jumped into the car.

She pulled me in for a hug and I could feel myself losing circulation. She finally let go and proceeded to drive to our favourite spot. Nicole and I had been best friends since grade two and no one could get between us.

"So keen for tomorrow?" she teased as she turned up the radio to listen to some song by some 'famous' boy band.

"Please let's not bring that up straight away, I need today to relax and spend time with my friends before everything is ripped away from me" I said, feeling sick as I spoke about it.

"Sure, no problem, don't worry it's not like you're never going to see any of us ever again" Nicole said as she pulled into the car park of our favourite ice-cream place.

Every Friday the two of us would go and get our favourite ice creams before making our way to the park across the road. Lame, I know but we had made a tradition out of it.
Nicole pushed open the door and the familiar sound of the bell ringing was heard as we walked through. We gave a friendly smile to the guy behind the counter and quickly gave our orders, paid and left. As we walked across the road and to the park I could see some of my close friends and Hayden. We both quickly joined them and the small picnic they had set up.
Aww Cute!

I took a seat between Hayden and Nicole and it suddenly all hit me. I was actually leaving tomorrow!
