My days of life can't be over already.

Why me.

Not again. Not a repeat.

Please. Save me. Don't let the sickness have its reigns on me.

I am Nozomi Aoyama. I'm 14 and I'm a freshmen in highschool. Today I am moving from Seattle Washington to Kyoto Japan. Waking up was a little hard knowing I was gonna be saying goodbye to everyone and everything I have ever known in my entire life. Truly I am so scared to move on.
I open my eyes slowly. My eyes slowly adjusting to the room and it's features around me. I see my black suitcase on the floor everything packed in it and ready to go. I'm already starting to miss my wooden walled and white carpeted room with its big white silled window. I took a big breath and decided it was time to get out of bed and get ready for the day. Quickly I put on some black leggings and a random tshirt that says, "Frankly dear, I don't give a damn." I reach for my white socks and black ankle boots. I look at the time on my watch and realize my dad and I only have an hour till we have to be at the airport. I ran into my bathroom and combed through my long brown hair and brushed my teeth. Looking out the window I see a girl with long ginger hair knock on our door. Realizing that it was my long time friend Akira I grab my bag with everything in it and exit my room giving it one last look of melancholy and remembering all the memories I made here

Flashback

"Nozomi. You have someone here that wants to see you." My mother said in excitment.

"Okay mother! I'll be down right away." I responded.

Rushing down the stairs to the front door I see a girl with ginger hair and the most beautiful deep green eyes with gold reflects. She was wearing black leggings and a short sleeved light blue dress. She was I think about 5 basically my age.

"Hello! I don't know if you remember me or anything but my name is Akira and I'm from your class. I just wanted to stop and say hi!" She said in a high pitched voice.

"Of coarse I remember you! I'm Nozomi."

"Nice to meet you Nozomi. Could I possibly come in?" She said quietly.

I yelled to my mom, "Hey mom could Akira stay over for a little bit?"

"Yes Honey." She hollered from upstairs.

I let her in and we went up to my room.

That day we became the best of friends and started our journey together through time.

End of Flashback

After giving the room a long look of melancholy I head down the hallway pass the bathroom and pass my mom's room giving each room one more look and remembering the memories I made there. I get to the stairs and run down dropping my stuff off in the kitchen and getting to the front door. I opened the door and see Akira whose ginger hair was waving in the wind and her green eyes were sparkled in tears. She was wearing black leggings and a short sleeved blue dress. I knew right then that she specifically picked out the same outfit from what she wore when we first met to now saying goodbye. But now she was 9 years older.

She embraced me in a tight hug and started balling.

"I didn't think it was going to be this hard to see you leave." She whispered quietly to me.

I feel so bad for leaving her behind. I'm going to miss her so much.

I hug back stroking her head and saying, "It will all be okay."

She let go and looked me in my eyes saying, "You are going to call me everyday and we are going to Skype every week at least once. You hear me?"

"Don't worry. We will probably Skype like everyday." I responded while chuckling.

She looked up at me sadly.

"What if we never see each other again? What if you move on and I dont?" She whispered through tears.

My eyes started to tear up.

"I promise we will see eachother again and when we do I will have more friends to introduce you to." I whispered back to her through tears.

"I will never let go of all the memories we have made shared." I added on.

She hugged me tighter and we both started to cry even more.

I can't believe I am leaving my best friend behind. She is my only friend. I don't know what I will do without her or what she will do without me.

We let go of eachother and made our way up the stairs. I went to go find my dad in the house. I walked to the office and saw him sitting there with his eyes closed.

"Hey dad. Are you almost ready to go?" I said blankly.

"Yeah. I'll be right down." He answered quietly.

I went out of the office into the kitchen to see akira humming a song that I knew all to well. It was called take us home by Alan doyle, one of my favorites. Starting to hum it she looks back with more tears in her eyes. I sat on the wooden floor next to her and we sang the song together.

My dad came and we gathered our bags and called an uber.

The uber came and my dad and I went outside. Akira ran after us when we were outside. She embraced me in one last hug. We let go and I grabbed my bag and got into the uber. I rolled down the window, "Goodbye Akira! I love you! I will call you everyday! Miss you." By the end of that sentence I was crying. She responded, "I love you too! Goodbye!" We both were sobbing.

The whole car ride was full of tears passing by all the places I knew and loved. The places that I had my best memories at.
We finally got to the airport and boarded our plane to Japan. We were leaving my hometown. The place of rain and cafès. The place of my life and childhood. Maybe I'll come back someday. Thank you everyone. I plugged my ear buds in and looked out the window seeing all the fluffy clouds and the gray sky. I looked back one more time and then I opened a door to a new part of my life and walked through.
