It was hard to get your head around the fact that you were going to be forced to move to a different continent, but nothing was as hard as having to tell your best friend. You had known that your father had lost his job and was desperately looking for a new job. He had told you that there was a possibility that your family would have to move depending on the job he got but you assumed that it would be a few towns over at most, maybe a state over if it was at a push. You were imagining your move on a way smaller scale than you should have. He struggled to find work in the USA, but he had found a well-paid job in the UK, a move that would be funded by the new business.

You did try to argue the matter, but it wouldn't matter, you were going to be moving in just under a month and would be unlikely to return to your home country any time soon. All the paperwork had been sorted before you were told, not wanting to cause an upset if it wasn't going to happen, but with everything sorted, there wasn't anything you could do other than tell your best friend that you wouldn't be there.

Blaine took it hard. At first, he thought that you were lying and making a cruel joke but when your eyes begun to fill up with tears, he knew you were telling him the truth. Both of you were soon crying, holding onto each other as though you were leaving that day and never seeing each other again.

"You can't go," he croaked, trying his best to not choke on his tears.

"I'm sorry Blaine," you apologised. "I have no choice."

He shook his head, not wanting to believe in it but regardless of if either of you wanted it to happen, you would be moving to the other side of the world soon.

"It's not fair," he frowned. "I'm going to miss you."

You gave him a sympathetic smile, not sure how else to console him, feeling as though you needed to stay strong for his sake.

"We can still talk on the phone, or skype or write letters," you offered. "It's not the same but it's not as though we will never talk again."

He nodded his head. "I guess it will have to do."
