Left Behind
Kacie, 14 year old girl
“Daniel and I went together for almost 6 months. We really liked to hang out with each other, and even though he never told me that he loved me, I could tell he did. I know I loved him.
I went over to his house one day and there were movers packing everything in his house. I went inside and couldn’t find Daniel or his brother, or his parents. I asked one of the mover guys, and he said the people had already left, that they were packing them.
I was in shock. Daniel had never said anything about moving. I went over to his friend, Steve’s, house and asked what happened. Steve said that Daniel’s parents were moving, and he couldn’t face saying goodbye to me. They had left last night, and the company that hired his mom was paying for the movers to pack them up.
Tears started to flow as Steve told me this. I sat on the ground and cried. I couldn’t figure out why he wouldn’t tell me. I started thinking about everything that had happened over the past couple of days. The last time I saw Daniel was two days before he moved. He was kind of quiet. I thought it was weird that when we said ‘bye’ that he kissed my hand. He had never done that before. He had kissed me on the lips before, but never my hand.
My heart is broken. I think he should have told me. It’s only fair. I’m really mad at Daniel, but I can’t stop thinking about him kissing my hand.”
