Bye friend

Bye friend

By Adrian Acevedo

Denial

There were two friends Billy and Barry, Billy and barry were really good friends and they would alway hang
out with there friend group one day they found out that Barry was moving. They didn't believe it “Barry has
lived there in that house seans he was born” said Billy as he looked at his friends, everyone was really sad
that he was moving but the one that was hurt the by this was Billy. Barry was moving on thursday, Billy
started to act like thursday already passed and that he was not going to move.

Anger

When the day came for Barry to leave Billy helped him but he was acting like how usually does when billy saw
the moving truck drive he sat down on his bed and closed his blinds he was just staring at the ground and just
started yelling about its not fare that he had to move. He would start throwing sometime when yelling was
not enough.

Bargaining

After Billy cooled down and didn't get mad that many times anymore. He started asking his mom for Barry
dads number after a fews days had past Billy mother reluctantly gave in and gave Barry dads number to Billy.
Billy would keep calling Barry's dad asking him to move back were he was, saying that were they lived was
amazing they had a pool and a good community in that area. Barry would be calling him every day begging
Barry’s dad asking him that they should move back.

Depression

Eventually he stopped calling seven times a week turned into 4 then 3, 2, and then eventually it all stopped
all together he stopped eating a lot Billy’s parents would make him eat but still, he didn't eat that much he
stopped calling and talking to his friends and everyone got super worried about him and he stayed like that
for weeks.

Acceptance

It has been 3 months since Barry has left, but one day there was a knock at the door Billy didn't hear anyone
calling saying they were going to answered it, soo he got out of bed with no hurry and walked too the door
he opened the door just like in a instant his face went from a wet swamp of sorrow into, if a five year old girl
just saw quadruple rainbow with a unicorn dancing on top of it all. So Berry went inside and they both went
up stairs going to Billy’s room they played for hours when it was time for Barry to go, Barry looked at Billy
“Hey Billy i got to tell you something before i go, you always have to keep on moving because if you stay sad
never trying to get happy soon no one will be there for you to help you so you have to move on we can still
hang out but just as much as we use too”. Billy started to tear up but he looked at him and shook his head ok
Barry smiled and said “see you later Billy” he then got in a car and drove off Billy closed the door went in his
room and started to talk to his other friends.

Writers note

You can never stay in place waiting for what you have lost to come back you have to always keep moving
forward no matter what not everybody will be lucky enough to have Barry to make realise and understand.
