As the taillights got smaller and smaller, I realized that my friends had actually left me. I didn't know they were leaving. Nobody had told me, I felt stupid for not being aware. Does that make me a bad friend?William and Stephine were my only friends. Now they're gone. They were siblings. William was older than Steph by almost 2 years. We all attended the same school, We'd been together for years. Steph and I were freshmen this year, William was a junior.Their Dad got a new job offer the only problem was, they had to move. I don't understand why they hadn't told me. They had been acting strange lately. They were busy all the time. So I decided I would go check up on them. When I walked up, They already had everything packed into the truck. I could see the painting I made for their mom. It had red tulips on it. Tulips were always her favorite flower. Their brown couch where William would help Steph and I with homework. I walked into the empty living room. Stephine was putting away a few last things.

"I didn't know you were coming over," Stephine said, "are you guys leaving?" I didn't want to waste time with small talk "Yeah, we are," William said behind me. I didn't say anything I just walked up to him and hugged him. Stephine came and joined the embrace. "Can I help with anything?" I mumbled. "were almost done." Steph handed me a small box. "how come you never told me?" "we didn't want you to be upset about it." "I wish I could have known I could have done something to say goodbye," I said. We quickly finished packing and loading the boxes up. I gave my final goodbyes and they were gone
