There comes a time when friend leaves. But they're never really gone.
In Sam's case, when Layla moved away she felt lonely. She was oblivious to the fact that Layla missed her too.
When Oliver's dog, Sky, was given to the neighbor when they couldn't care for it anymore, he was heartbroken. He didn't know Sky was whining everyday, wanting her boy.
It hurt very much when Lakin was separated from her sister while in the foster system. She didn't think about her sister's tears.
Then there are the people, who say "Hello" and "Goodbye." It feels quite short, but you know you had a bond.
There are many... Many people who touch one's life. Everyone has a friend. Even if they feel alone. Even if they think all is lost. Even if they think there is only darkness in the world. They still have a friend. Even if the friend is somewhere far away.
Human beings are known to cry when they're happy or sad. Mostly sad. And lots of times people feeling gloomy, because there is one less friend in the mix.
Humans are also known to be arrogant. When a friend leaves the group, the friend also suffers. But... A friend is a friend. And friendship is an unbreakable bond. A force that cannot be stopped. Friendship is a shield to hate.
If one friend suffers, so do the rest.
Friendship is full of contagious emotions. The absent friend missed their friends. Does the group miss her?
This short story is dedicated to my friends
who helped me in so many ways.
