[ WP ] Do n't leave me , you 're my best friend .

A little girl sat alone on her bed with her legs tucked tightly to her chest, her arms wrapped around her shins locking them firmly in place as she shook quietly. Jenny's room was nearly empty, all that remained were some old chests, dressers and the bare bed on which she curled. In a large cardboard box, the kind that sagged along the bottom with crinkled corners, thick tape all around and sharpie on the sides were all her earthly possessions. 
 
 Glaring at the box through moist eyes, she felt conflicted, a mix of sadness, anger and pain welled deep within her. She had more questions than answers and no one left to talk to. On one hand, she was rather hurt that everything that helped make her *her* could fit into such little space. On the other, she was sad that after today she would be alone again, thrown into the lion's den as naked as she came. Finally, she felt betrayed that these decisions had been made without her, that something so important could take place without her consultation. After all, she was nearly ten now, well closer to it than she was which made her practically an adult already. 
 
 The door to Jenny's bedroom creaked open as her mother walked in and grabbed the box. Squeezing the sides as she lifted the package, the top flaps popped open and out peered a small blonde bear. Jenny stretched out her short arms hoping to close the distance between them as her eyes widened in surprise and fear. The little bear seemed to stretch and strain in response, reaching out towards the young girl, towards his friend in hopes that he would find himself in her loving arms once again. 
 
 “ No... ” Jenny sobbed as the distance between them grew farther, their inevitable separation at hand. 
 
 “ I'm sorry Jenny, but do n't you think you're a little too old? ” her mother said, walking away. 
 
 “ Do n't leave me, you're my best friend. ” she cried quietly to herself, as the bear thought the same.
