Dustin Callahan was a simple boy, he sometimes liked school and always enjoyed spending time with his friends.

The boy did not know what a crush felt like and it was something he would love to experience because he longed to be able to feel everything he read in the cheesy novels his mother had bought in his youth and secretly watched on television.

His appearance was simple: he was tall with a good meter of eighty, his straight light brown hair and almost always well-groomed seemed soft, his eyes were brown and he had long eyelashes that framed those irises leaving a beautiful frame.

Dustin continued with his infallible routine, nothing went wrong and he liked how orderly his life was, he did not want to change it, maybe he could add some extra hours to share and spend time with his mother. She was the most important person in his life and as long as he could remember, she had always been strong and brave, a true role model, as she was able to get ahead after her father, whom she actively avoided and refused to call him that. way. He cheated on his mother, he does not remember much because he was only four years old and the only thing he knew was because he had heard some calls that his mother had with her friends, but he was never very attached to him and he was never very present in her life.

Dustin loved spending time with his friends, he was almost always alone because his mother spent a lot of time working to support him because the guy who conceived him was not even financially present so he would talk to them a lot or spend time somewhere close to his house, although many meetings were in his house.

Neil Todd was always the most sociable of the trio of friends, he was the one who best handled emotions and the few tense moments that were generated, although he was always happy, let him know that they would always be there for him, something that he knew quite well. Alexia Dawson was like the mother of the group, she was always taking care of them, she was the most responsible and although at first she was shy, later it was very fun to listen to all her crazy ideas and theories because she had a great active mind, the three of them met thanks to the school, but they began to bond half a month after entering school, Neil started it all by getting closer to Alexia and she managed to talk to Dustin after helping him with some answers to the homework, from there they became good companions, then in good friends and finally best friends.

All the peace and monotony that Dustin liked came to an end during one of the few dinners he shared with his mother, she looked a little nervous and it seemed to be something important because she had prepared the food and the boy was waiting for him to speak, he had some ideas in mind, but he wasn't sure.

"We are going to move." Her mother said she left her silverware on her plate that they still had some soup in it.

-Okay, what neighborhood will it be in? Or this time it will be an apartment?

-Actually… we're moving to another state. They offered me a better job, they pay me well and we can live in a bigger house, we still have to find you a good school, but I don't think it's a big problem-. He sounded happy and he got it, but that's not to say that he liked it, in fact he hated the idea, he was left blank and speechless, so he opted to drink all the water in his glass, after almost spilling the water, he dared to reply.

-I'm glad for that new job, but ... Is it necessary for me to go with you? Neil's mother has no problem with me staying at her house and I'm sure that Alexa would welcome me at home, just send some money and I'll be fine-. The nerves came and he left them playing with his hands, as he moved his gaze from his mother's face to his half-eaten dinner.

-You know perfectly that I cannot do that, you are my son and I must take care of you, I will not be able to do it if you are far from me and although I know that sometimes the days go by when we do not see each other, I still worry about you and I would hate not have these little moments with you. His eyes expressed empathy and supplication, Dustin wanted to see his mother happy and he knew that she needed that change, so he put aside his selfishness and with some regret he accepted it.

-Okay, you're right, I think it was silly to think about it.

-It was not silly, I understand, you have spent your whole life in this place and it is normal that you do not want a change this big, but this is the best for both of you. You will see how soon we will adapt, okay?

-Sure, I'm going to my room, I need to think about some things. I'm not hungry anymore-. Before going to her room, her mother yelled:

-We're leaving in three days!

And with that last sentence stuck in his mind, he threw himself on his bed and buried his face in his pillow trying to quell all those feelings and thoughts that filled his head as soon as he heard the news.

He would have to start in a completely new and unknown place, he would leave his friends and perhaps he will not do more in that new state, all his tranquility and all his routine will have to be planned anew, fear invaded him because his mind did not think well of the change idea.

Another important thing to mention is how you are going to tell your friends, I hoped not to lose them, they are an important part of his life that he refuses to lose, but he had to tell them so he sent them a message through the group where they were going to meet them in the park where they used to meet.

The message worried them a bit, but they rushed to the last minute exit.

-I'm going out, mom, I'll be back soon-. He didn't wait for an answer and went to the park to wait for his friends.

Alexa was already there and in a bit of a rush and clear concern asked what was going on.

"We have to wait for Neil, it's something important." They didn't wait long as Neil appeared sweaty and gasping for air.

-Sorry, I came as fast as I could. What happened?

-I'm going to another state for my mom's job-. The three joined in a strong and comforting hug, in the middle of the hug a sob was heard.

-I'm sorry, I don't like the idea, I don't want us to part-. Neil said when Alexa hugged him.

-I suppose we can't do much, but rest assured that everything will remain the same, we are very good friends and I know that even though we part ways we can still keep in touch, when are you leaving?

-In three days if my mother does not want to accelerate the trip, but you're right we will continue to be friends and we will talk all the time by text and calls and I will try to come on vacation, I promise-. They came back together in a hug that calmed Neil's crying, Dustin's nerves, and Alexa's uneasiness.
