Dawn's POV

It was summertime after 11th grade and I was sitting in my room being bored as ever when something caught my eye under my dresser – an old beanie. I stared at it for a while, almost like I was studying it. It seemed so familiar, but I couldn't remember why.

"Dawn?" I heard my mom and she snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, sorry. Yeah?"

"We're going to be moving in about a month, just a heads up."

"BUT WHAT ABOUT LYRA AND KHOURY AND BARRY?" I yelled to her.

"I'm sorry Dawn, you know our situation."

I sighed. "You're always taking me away from my friends."

"Dawn, take your attitude somewhere else. What has gotten into you?"

"Okay I will." I said making my way passed her. I left the house and slammed the door on the way out.

I made it to Lyra's house and knocked on her door.

"Dawn what are you doing here? Not that I mind…"

"MY MOM'S MAKING ME MOVE IN A MONTH!" I said clearly pissed off.

"WHAT? YOU CAN'T! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH BARRY."

I glared at her.

"Okay, okay not the time sorry Dawn."

"I just don't get it. She makes us move so much and it's getting old. Right when I get settled into a new place, she decides to pack everything up and leave."

"You know, she is a single mother trying to raise you on her own. Maybe it's something to do with that." She suggested.

I never thought of that.

"Never thought about that before, have you?" She asked like she read my mind.

I shook my head slowly, still thinking about it.

"But what about us? Are we still gonna keep in touch?"

"Of course we are! We've been best friends for 8 years. Nothing can change that."

"What about Barry and Khoury?"

"I'll be able to handle them just fine."

"You mean you'll be able to handle Khoury just fine, am I right?" I said nudging her, which caused her to blush.

"DAWN! You know that's not what I meant!"

I giggled. "I know, it's just fun to mess with you!"

"You think you're so funny. Just wait until you start crushing."

"Whatever Lyra." I said while still laughing.

"Maybe I should go apologize to my mom, I kinda slammed the door on her."

"That might be a good idea."

I made my way into the living room where I found my mom watching TV.

"Hey mom, I'm sorry for earlier."

"It's okay dear, I understand where you were coming from."

I hugged her then ran back up to my room.

I stared at the beanie again, trying to remember where it came from.

Right when I was about to get up, it finally hit me.

"Dawn, I don't want you to leave either, but no need to worry. Everything will be okay." An unknown figure said, flashing a smile

"Yeah, you're right I guess." I took off my anklet and handed it to the boy. "Don't forget me."

"How could I?" He took off his beanie and gave it to me. "Best Friends Forever, right?" he said holding out his pinky.

"Forever." I said wrapping my pinky around his, then hugged him.

Who is that boy? My mind started to wander and I think I ended up falling asleep.
