"You know I'm leaving in a week"
"Yeah. I know"
"Don't start crying again."
"Okay"
"I want you to listen."
"Okay."
"I'm really scared to be alone at college"
"You are?" I never really thought of that before.
"Just like you're really scared to be alone here"
"Okay" I nodded.
"So, I'll make you a deal. When things get to be too much at college, I'll call you, and when things get to be too much here, you call me."
"Could we write letters back and forth?"
"Of course," she said.
Then I started crying again. I really am a roller-coaster sometimes.
