Goodbyes to Jacob
As I ran down the stairs to see two year old Jacob he catches me from falling. "Jacob" I yelped. "Bells I'm going to miss you so much." We skipped over to the couch and sat on it.
"Bella you need to finish packing" my mom called from the stairs. I got off the couch and Jacob followed me to my room. "Want me to help?" He asked with a half of smile. "Sure" I said with a smile that wasn't too bright. "Don't worry. I'll come and visit sometime" I said. We hugged one more time and got to work. Jacob put all the stuffed animals in the box and I saw him take a bag from in his jacket and stick it in my suitcase. "Open it when you get to your new home." I looked over at him and nodded, we had everything packed after two hours. All that was left was an empty bed, dresser, closet and the little rocking chair grandma Dwyer had gave me sitting in the corner of my room.
"Jacob, where did my dad go?" I asked in question. "He went to Billy's, he won't be back tonight." Oh well I guess I'll see him in the morning I thought to myself. My mom came in the room, took all the bags and boxes, then went to put them in the trunk of the car. Jacob and I walked outside giving each other another hug. Then that's when I saw Jacob's dad in the truck with another guy driving.
"Bella come on we are leaving now" my mom said. "Momma you said we weren't leaving till tomorrow." "The faster we get there the more time we will have to unpack" she said using that as an excuse for us to leave sooner. "I'm really going to miss you" he said. Jacob let go of me tears falling from his eyes and walked over to his dad Chevy truck and got in. Billy and Jacob waved at me and I waved back as they drove away.
Mom put me in the backseat of the car, put on my seatbelt and then the next thing I knew the car was speeding away. Tears continued to roll down my eyes more and more as I thought of the fact that I was being forced to leave Jacob and my dad behind. Yes dad would be sad for a few days about us leaving but of course he would have no other choice but to wake up in the morning, eat his breakfast and go to his job at the police station. On the other hand Jacob, I knew that it would take him a little more time to get over. I feel like I have known him all my life even though it's only been two or three years. We practically did everything together. We were and always will be the best of friends. I knew that this would be hard on him so I knew when I got to my new home I would read the surprise in my suitcase from Jacob and just fall asleep thinking about him at night.
