Goodbyes...

    I'm sitting on the stoop outside of Bella's little home. We're waiting for a taxi driver to come pick me up so they can take me to the airport. To take me away from everything that has ever mattered. To take me away from Bells...
    I'm definitely NOT a crier, but as I'm perching on the porch with Bella beside me, tears are rushing down my cheeks like a waterfall. I know that if I looked over at Bella I would see the same thing.
    "Sof?" Bella whispers.
     "What Bells?" I repy.
      "How can you leave me here like this??? Riley will start to harass me at school again and nobody will be here to pick out my outfits."
       "I have to leave Bella. I certainly don't want to, but school starts again for me tomorrow. You'll be fine just ignore Riley," I reassure my twin sister. "And you've learned from me whether an outfit is acceptable. If you have any problem picking out something to wear just text me. Okay?" Bella nods. I pull her into a large bear hug. She squeezes me like her life depends on it. Like if she holds onto me like this I would have to stay forever.
        "I know I'm being selfish Sofia," Bella sighs. "It's not fair to try and get you to stay here. You have friends and a life in Oregon, but..." Bella snuffles. Tears roll down my cheeks, but they freeze on my face because of the arctic like weather.
         Next thing I know a taxi has pulled up in front of us and my luggage is loaded in the back. "I guess this is it... I guess this is goodbye," I murmur.  "For now!" I quickly add.
         "Maybe I can visit you for Christmas? Or some other time in a couple of months..." Bella mumbles. I shake my head as if saying, "Maybe". BEEP! BEEP! The impatient taxi driver beeps his horn. I glare at him and hug Bells once again.
          After I hug everyone of Bella's family and say another goodbye to Bella and promise we would see each other soon I climb into the taxi. As I look out the frost coated window I see three bundled up girls waving to m- Wait a minute... Where's Bella? I study the street looking for Bella. As I turn to look out the  other window I spot Bella.




  


She's sitting right next to me...
