Daniel Seavey I Italy

Chapter 15

The ride there was not that long, I sat down next to Molly since I hadn't talked a lot with her this trip. "So, dish about you and Christian." I say with a smirk. "Well, I am having a really wonderful time with him, he's really nice and we have a lot in common. Most of the time though we just look at each other and smile. I don't know what's happening, I've never felt like this about anyone in my life." They are truly meant for each other. "That sounds like he might be the one" I say with a wink. "Yeah, maybe let's not go there yet." She then turned the tables on me "And how are you and Daniel doing?" I was not ready to answer that since I don't really know myself yet. "It's complicated. Anyway, I had something to say to you. And it's really difficult for me to explain so just bear with me." I take a deep breath and Molly looks at me worried "Please stop scaring me" "Well I won't be here tomorrow" she looked at me with the biggest wide eyes that I have ever seen. "Are you dying?" wait what? "No sweetie, God no. I have to leave tonight. And I beg of you don't ask me why. I'll tell you when I have processed it all myself." I say hoping she doesn't ask more questions. "It's all good, tell me when you're ready to." Well thank God she's so considerate. "And I have to somehow leave tonight without Daniel finding out, so I have a plan but I'll need your help."

Not telling Daniel was mostly because I thought that perhaps I could leave this happy fantasy in Italy and not have to think about whatever was going on between us going any further. I really need to focus on college and even though he does make me happy I really am not ready to be in a relationship. Right now, we are in a dream state and when we wake up there will be problems we have to deal with, and we will see each other a lot more rarely. STOP! I need stop thinking about this.

After taking a deep breath I told her about my so-called plan, she was okay with it, and we carried on just talking about random things. We finally got to Maiori and were starving so we decided to get some food. We found a restaurant with a beautiful view outside and ordered our food. "Hey, are you good, you seem a little gloomy." Yeah, because my grandma is dead, and I don't know how to tell you without crying my eyes out. "Not gloomy just a little tired" I lie "Well maybe if you hadn't escaped my embrace this morning you would have gotten more sleep." "Well then maybe you shouldn't have let me go." Why does it sound like we're fighting, I don't want to fight. "Sorry I didn't mean to be so aggressive." He didn't say anything and just took my hand and drew tiny circles with is thumb. I smile at him and waited for our food.

When we were finished eating, we headed to the beach. "Wanna go for a swim?" Daniel asked me and I just nodded. As I got into the water it felt like a release, I just dived in, and it was quiet. As I came up from the water, I saw a pair of piercing blue eyes look back at me. "Hi" he smiled at me "Hey" I smiled back at him, for some reason when I look in those eyes every problem, I have in the world goes away. "I am going to miss you so much" shit why did I just say that "Well it's good then that we still have a whole two weeks together" and as he came closer and placed a soft kiss on my lips all I could think about was that I only had a few more hours left.

It came to the point that we had to leave Maiori, and I was happy that now I had my own memories and pictures of this place that one day I'll show to my kids. I wanted to sit with Daniel on the way back since I wasn't going to see him. And as we came closer to home it was time to start the first part of the plan. "Hey, want to go for a walk?" I ask Daniel. "Of course, I do." He smiled and gave me a kiss. After we got off the train Molly went home with Christian, and Daniel and I went on our walk.......
