1.9: Together Again
(On Francisco’s ninth birthday, his situation changed again….)
Francisco: Mom, is Sharice here yet?
Mrs. Carr: No sweetie, now go outside and play with your other friends, I’ll tell you when she’s here.
(As soon as she said that, Reese walked through the door and Francisco ran to her.)
Francisco: Reese, you’re here. Why do you look so sad?
Reese: Because I just came to say good-bye.
Francisco: Good-bye? But Reese.
Reese: My dad’s moving. I have to go with him.
Francisco: On New Years day? It’s a holiday!
Reese: I’ve known for two weeks, I’ve just been afraid to tell you. We were going to move next week, but because of some kind of deal my dad made, he needs us to leave a little early.
Francisco: You said you’d never leave.
Reese: You said friends for as long as it last. This is how long it lasted. Good-bye Francisco. You’re still my best friend, no matter where I am.
