Tears

"Gabrielle?" I moved around in the air bed in search of Gabrielle.

"Gabs?" I asked sitting up.

I looked around but no sight of Gabrielle.
I dialed her cellphone but she didn't pick up.
Texted 33 times, no response.
I grabbed my coat and headed out the door until I saw myself n the emergency mirror...
I went back and brushed my hair.

I ran against the cold wind to Gabrielle's apartment.

"GABRIELLE!" I pounded against the front door of Gabrielle's apartment.

"GABBIE-L!!" I yelled.

The door opened.
"Hello there, Bella." She smiled.
I stepped inside.

"Gabrielle Amber Taylor don't you ever scare you best friend like that!!" I hugged her.
I looked around her apartment.
Turquoise and green balloons floated around the apartment.
"What's.... all this?" I pointed at the decorations.
" Welcome to the best last-weekend-with-your-best-friend in last weekend-to-spend-with-your-BFFL history!" Gabrielle said.

"Here, I have an agenda." She gave me a piece of purple paper.

The best last weekend with your best friend agenda:
Go shopping at the mall
Get too much stuff at the craft store.
Eat frozen yogurt in pink berry
Go to glee dance rehearsals
Go back home and review everything we bought
Make burritos (your favorite!)
Do our nails and hair
Go ride our bikes
go back home and yell at random people passing by the streets
Prank calls
And much, much more.

"Wow, this sounds cool." I said after scanning the list.
"Now, you can't go out with that. " Gabrielle pointed at may cloud-jammies and pea coat.
"Tada" Gabrielle pulled an outfit out of her closet.
It was a navy blue long sleeve,with a white lace sweater, a small suede tan braided belt thingy, and dark jeans.
"Niiiiice." I said,grabbing the hanger.

I quickly changed and did my hair.
"Wow, you look amazing." She said as she saw me.
"You look amazing...er."I complemented her back.

Her blue eyes shined as she put her jacket it on.
"Let's go!" She said, opening the door.
I took my jacket that I have thrown at the couch.

We headed to the mall.
"Gabrielle...." A familiar voice said behind us.
It was way too familiar.
Rodger.
Bwaah.
I turned around to see him.

"Bella." He said.
"Rodger." I giggled.
They hugged.
"Rodgie will miss you." He said, hugging her tightly.
I smiled.
"We're we goin???" He asked.
"H&M" Gabrielle and I answered.
He groaned.
"Go to the sport shop." I suggested.
"No." He answered.
I rolled my eyes.
We bought a few here and there, mostly at the craft store.

"Ohhh silly putty" Rodger grabbed a container with silly putty in it.
I rolled my eyes.

"OHHHHH look at this!" He said pointing at some stickers

"Did you go back to when you were 4?" I asked him.

"Uh, no...Nope. Not that I know of." He smiled.

"Done!" Gabrielle said, after she checked out everything.
"Let's go to pink berry" She said heading out the door.

Rodger followed behind us.

"What's pink berry?"He asked.
"A yogurt shop." Gabrielle answered.
"Yuck, yogurt."
"It's actually very good." I said.
"Yeah right" I answered me.

"omigawsh. This is so frikin good." He said tasting a sample.
"Told ya." We both answered.

"I want a chocolate yogurt please." I ordered.
"Any toppings?" The lady asked.
"Brownie bites, captain crunch, a waffle, and oreos."

"You coming to the glee dance rehersals?" I asked Gabrielle.
"Nope, I'm gonna be home waiting for you. Now, head on." She said, taking my bags from me.
"Kay..." I waved to her.

"Have I told you how good you are at singin-"
"Yes."
"Just letting you know."
Silence.
"Ms.Terry looks very different in sweats." He said awkwardly.
"Mhmm" I agreed.
"Umm.... your pretty sad that Gabrielle is moving... right?"
"Yes."
" This is not working."
"What's not working?"
"The whole just friends thing."
" You can make it work. I mean, we were best friends before we went out. Was that hard?"
"No but... ugh."
"Rodger, go get a girlfriend. I'm not stopping you. It'd be a while until I start dating again.K?"
"Okay... I guess." He said quietly.

We walked into a studio.

"Wait, Ms.Terry called and said it was canceled. Sorry." The lady at the front desk said.

"What?!" I yelled leaving the studio.
"I dunno." Rodger said.

I headed to the direction of Gabrielle's apartment.
"Why are you following me?" I joked.
"I'm going to Gabrielle's house too, ya know." He said.


I knocked on Gabrielle's door.
No one was there.
I knocked harder.
I twisted the knob.
The door was opened.

"SURPRISE!" Loud voices said.
"Surprise." Rodger whispered.

"What's... all. WHAT IS GOING ON?" I yelled.
"Just a party." Gabrielle stepped up to me.
We hugged.
" But-- what--why?
"Just party." Gabrielle smiled.

We partied for hours until everyone left.

"Bella, I don't know how to say this..." Gabrielle started.
"Say what?" I got nervous.
"I.. I'm... leaving..."
"I know."
"On Monday."
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"I wanted to buy a ticket for thursday but... But... I couldn't" She said, crying.
"I'm sorry Bells. Don't be mad at me."

What did I do?
I cried.
And we hugged.
