Promises

Chapter 3

        I woke up early but stayed in bed. I didn't want to go downstairs because if I did I would see movers taking our stuff out to trucks and then today would be all too real. I layed in bed for about a hour untill my dad came in and told me to get dressed because the movers had to come get my stuff. I reluctantly got out of bed and got ready. I let the movers in my room and watched them take my life and pack it away.

        I went downstairs and walked outside, only to see Luke, Calum, and Michael waiting for me. I ran up to them and took them all into a hug. I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. I was going to miss these knuckle heads so much.

        "Hey don't cry. We'll see you soon. I promise." Calum said.

        "Don't make promises that you can't keep, Calum." I replied.

        "You doubt me?" he replied dramatically with his hand over his heart.

        "Oh you big drama queen!" Michael stated. We all laughed, but the happiness ended too quickly and was place with awkwardness and sadness. I didn't know what to say. I've never had to say good bye to people I care about.  I wasn't much good at them. I looked at Luke. he was going to be the hardest to say bye to.

        I finished my good byes with Calum and Michael and walked over to Luke. Before I could say anything he pulled me into a tight hug.

        "This isn't bye, Lexie. It's I'll see you later. I promise that someday we will see each other again."

        I looked up at him. His beautiful blue eyes were filled with sadness and tears. i broke into heavy tears. I rested my head on his chest and we just stood there.

        "Alright, Lexie we have a plane to catch. Luke it was good knowing you. I hope you have a wonderful future, son."

        "Thank you, sir. I hope you do as well."

        I gave all the boys one last hug and then got into the car. My dad pulled out of the driveway and we were off to our new life.
