Alright, last year i fell in love with one of my teachers who is much older than i am. i love him a ton. i've loved him all summer long, and i've missed him like crazy. tomorrow i start a new highschool and i'm scared like crazy. i don't want to go, because i don't want what my teacher and i have to go away. i don't want to go to a new school. i want to stay at my jh. i don't want to leave. what can i do to make this easier on me? i'm so heartbroken, i just don't know what to do.

You are not going to date your teacher - he's a grown man, and you are a student. Perhaps the things you like about him - his sense of humour, his brains, etc - are things you'll find boys in high school have.
Crushes hurt. That's why they are called crushes. Some people think it's emotionally safer to like someone they don't have a chance with, but ultimately it can make you feel like crap.
I think you should move up to high school with an open mind; perhaps you'll meet someone your own age you can have a genuine relationship with. You only 'know' the school side of your teacher - he's got a bigger, fuller life outside of school. You can never know that part of him.
But a guy your own age?
You can learn a lot about him, and let him learn about you. You can really develop feelings - feelings so strong you'll look back on your crush and wonder why you felt so bad to be leaving junior high.
