The Emu

 My best friend she knew everything about me. She and I told each other everything. Us becoming friends changed me so much. I used to be shy and really antisocial with not many friends. But she gave me confidence to talk to new people, she helped raise my self esteem. She knew me better than I knew me. We were both inseparable.

 But I was told, that she was moving away. She told me she didn't have that many months living in Berwyn. She and I we're the unstoppable best friends, but thinking of losing my other half hurt me so much, she and I went through so much from when we met to when she moved. The thing that hurt the most was thinking of not being able to see her everyday. 

 With this being my last school year with her we made a promise to keep each other updated on school and just life in general. I didn't know how much time I had left so I had to make them count for the both of us. We told each other that we would still be each other's best friend no matter what happens. 

 The weeks after she left I was lost, I felt out of place, and thought I had no one. Gianna and I would lean on each other at lunch and I would put my head on her shoulder. But I had no one to do that with now that she left. Without her I fell to pieces and didn't know how to rebuild myself. I thought people didn't want to talk to me but I just didn't want to talk to them. 

 But the friends I didn't shut out helped me rebuild myself. They were my light in the dark. They helped me find the me I lost but I still wasn't the same as how I was before. But this time I didn't rely on just one person, I relied on two, Mina and Jade. These two helped me get over being really depressed. They were my light in the dark.
