Camila
I love my friends, we are eight of us, we are close, we help each other, we have fun with each other. Well we are seven now. Its hard to forget a friend, its even harder to forget the memories we had together, but that is what we promised camila, to never forget her. There was a problem, a problem that didn't have a solution, not another way to get out of it, just one way to get out of it. A normal, boring and casual day, my friends and me wanted to go out, “There’s a party!” Camila exclaimed so excited. We asked if we could go, they did not let us, we burst into tears but the only person that had permission was camila. She went to the party and happened a bunch of things. The day after it, I was just waking up and I saw a lot of messages of my friends, something had happened in the party. My friends and me were red in anger, we did not know what to do, and we got the wrong and the easy decision.

Camila was having a problem and instead of helping her we left her alone so we could avoid her problem. Before we decided to take that decision I talked to her and asked her what really happened that day. I was so closed in my bubble of what would the people say about my friends, and me that Camila for me was the least important thing in that moment. I cared about my reputation and me without knowing I was leaving one of my best friends with no one she can count on. We just left her alone. It was hard to see her all broken because she had no support, until we notice that we needed to be there for her. People make mistakes and so is she, we went towards her and said, “camila I’m so sorry for being that kind of friend I would be there to help you and I’m not leaving you alone again” she stared at me and walked away. I knew I couldn’t fix it with a “sorry”, she needed more than that. The days started passing and I was still there by her side, she notices that I start gaining her trust again without her even knowing.

Camila was saying since third grade she was moving to London, every year she said “they changed the date” me and my friends knew what would happen at the end of the year, she told us again that she was moving, we thought it was a joke or that all she wanted was attention and people started begging for her to stay. It was hard to realize that this time it was not a joke. We started noticing she was not leaving when she told us to what school she was going to and the pictures, when his brother started to say the same thing as her, we didn’t want to loose a friend. Everything was changing day by day; we could not even look at her without thinking that she is about to leave. Camila was organizing a surprise party and her mom made a group chat to have pictures of us with her so they can make a movie for her.

Every time I got the chance to get the pictures out of my old folder, I could not try to hide my tears, all those moments and experiences would soon become into memories. The good-bye party was coming, closer and closer, we would just think about the party and didn't understand the meaning of the party. We just thought of it was a night out, to have fun and be happy. Suddenly we started noticing that it was a good-bye party, sending a message that camila would be gone. We thought of it was a normal party day, but since when a party day would hurt so much?

All of my friends have something that makes them hard to forget.  Vale is a person that would help you even though she has more problems than you or she is busy, Raquel is someone that would be there for you every time you need something, she would not hesitate in helping you if that means you would be happy, Amanda is someone that makes you laugh when she knows you are sad without caring that she is more sad than you are in that moment, Balbina is someone that would be there to make you smile every time you want to have fun and she would be there to care of you. Dany is a person in which you can trust every time you need to tell someone how you feel, Frida is someone that is always laughing she is someone that always looks deep into you without criticizing and she will always keep your secrets no matter what, and Camila is a person that every time you were sad she could tell in a second just by looking at you, she is someone that was there helping with everything she could, she is always going to forgive you even though you did the worst thing, she would support you and never leave you alone. Camila was a happy girl a dark happy and smiley girl. You could hear her laugh from the other side of the room and tell it was she. How am I supposed to get used to come one day and never see her again.

The party started, my friends and me where upstairs with camila getting ready, it was hard to see all her house without furniture or even a bed to sleep, and they were about to move to a hotel. We were upstairs getting ready, it was so sad and happy at the same time see us all together laughing, but it was sad to remember that it might be the last party we go together. It was the best party ever, we got to be with camila we went into the pool we saw the video, that minutes that I got to see the video all completed I saw many memories and many people that will miss camila. After the party we stayed at her house to sleep and it was the best night ever, we didn’t even slept we were all talking about many things that is hard to remember right now.

Camila is someone that changed our lives in a way, she changed mine by always looking at a bright side in life, every problem every situation there is always a reason of why it happened, there is always a positive impact. That is why I tried to think that she moving away was not just a bad thing, she ahs the opportunity to meet new friends and know a new place. That was a positive thing for her, but what about me? It was hard to tell when you were loosing your best friend.

We looked to the day she was going and we saw it so far away we didn't even notice that day was closer and closer. The day finally came, as hard as it sounds it was time to say goodbye.  Camila was staying at NH Hotels in Palacio, her house was totally empty and it was ready to be sold out. We wanted to be with her even the last minutes in Monterrey, so we went to her hotel and we would be there for her and we would go and say goodbye at the airport. We were sitting there in her room and we said, it’s her last day we need to make it unforgettable. In the lobby there were the cars where the people traveled their bags, we got camila in one of them and we took her all over palacio. Guards where reporting they and us were following us, we started running and went to the toys section and we got bicycles scooters and skaters. We started running in them all over the place, then we went to the elevator because the guards were coming towards us, we were laughing so much we could not even breath. It was like one hour for the plane to go, we didn’t notice we were having so much fun that we didn’t care about time.

We were going to her room and in the elevator we saw her mom, she was very angry she started shouting. We got in the car so fast “We are loosing the flight!” she was shouting all the time. We got to the airport and they could change a flight that was in 3 hours. We stayed with her there, we sat with her talking, laughing eating and running all over the airport, we didn’t care were we where we kept having fun like always. The hours passed and it was time to let camila go. 

Everybody had their own moment hugging her and telling her how much we would miss her, first everybody was getting upset, but in a matter of time we started crying like crazy. We couldn’t stop hugging her, every time we remembered that it would be the last time we hugged her tarred us apart. We had like an hour hugging her and we could let go that they were running late for their flight. We went with her mom and hugged her, it was sad to see her running down the airport through the doors where big and talls police mans where checking the bags, in that moment we knew it was time. Camila left and we left the airport, we couldn’t believe that was so hard. The car was silent and all you can hear where noises. We put the music on and we kept moving.  It was hard to leave a friend behind, but not in the way of forgetting her completely. We don’t care if we needed to be friends with a lot of distance between us. What we only cared was to keep in touch with her, with our best friend, with someone that we could never ever forget.
