My World

Chapter 2: Elias

I walked into the house from a day at the beach with friends. Jayden was in tow with me until I stopped dead in my tracks. Boxes. Boxes that said Elias on them. I gulped today can't be the day Elias left for college. I ran upstairs into Elias's room. It was all packed but he wasn't in there. I ran back down stairs poor Jayden was behind me confused. "Mom!" I yelled tears started threatening to fall from my eyes. "Mom!" I called again.

"What Scarlett?" My mom ran out from the kitchen. She had a scared look on her face. I guess it could be because I sound like I'm dying. 

"Where's Elias?" I asked tears fell from my eyes, I whipped them away. "Please tell me he didn't leave yet." I sobbed. I would be forever mad at myself if I didn't get to say goodbye, but then it hit me, his stuff is still here. I calmed down a little bit. I looked behind my mom to see him standing along the wall with his arms crossed with a small smile on his face. I ran up to him hugging him. "Where are you going?" I held back more tears. 

"I got accepted into Penn State. The semester starts in a few weeks and I want to get to know my classes and everything." Elias smiled.

"I'm so happy for you." Tears slipped from my eyes. I couldn't hold them back anymore. My brother was moving to Pennsylvania it's not far, but it's not here. Elias is my older brother, my only older brother and I love him. I didn't want him to leave. I felt more tears well up in my eyes. 

"Scarlett, this isn't goodbye, I'll be back." He laughed a little. I let out one too but it was muffled and sounded fake. He pulled me into a hug. "You're my little sister and I love you very much. You know I'm going to come back to see you. I'm not going to just forget about you." Elias kissed me on the forehead. "Now help me get all this in my car." He laughed. 

I laughed slapping him. It was helpful knowing he wouldn't forget me. Even though I knew he wouldn't, I mean how can you forget me? 

When we got everything in his car, he was about to leave when I pulled him into the biggest hug I could ever give someone. "I'm going to miss you so much." Tears threatened to fall from my eyes again but I fought them back. 

"Remember Scarlett this isn't goodbye. I'm coming home for all holidays, I promise you." Elias whispered. "I won't miss you giving birth to my little niece or nephew either." He smiled.

 "How did you know?" I asked. I hope he didn't tell our mom. 

"I can hear everything in this house." He laughed. "Don't worry  I didn't tell mom, but congratulations." He smiled kissing my forehead. I smiled back at him. I stood next to Jayden and my crying mom. She pulled me into a hug and tears fell from my eyes too. I kept repeating in my head this isn't goodbye. This isn't goodbye. I watched as his car disappeared. Jayden pulled me from my moms arms and into his. I smiled a small smile as he gave me a small smile as he gave me a small squeeze telling me everything is going to be okay. 

Without Elias around the house, it was pretty quiet, and it made me sad. Adrian was still here but we don't talk that much. I sighed lying on the couch it's only been a day since Elias left and I already miss him so much. "Lets go out and do something, to get your mind off Elias leaving." Jayden smiled standing up and pulling me with him. 

"Like what?" I pouted.

"Well this is our last week of summer, so lets do everything you wanted to do over summer." He smiled.

I thought about it for a little, I really only wanted to be with Jayden and my friends over summer. But I knew what we could do, "Lets go to Six Flags!" I smiled.

"This is why I love you." Jayden kissed me fast before running up stairs. I laughed by the time he came back down all dressed for a day at an amusement park, I already called Rose, Max, Chelsea and Tom. I ran upstairs and got changed. I looked through my closet for a cute bathing suit when I found my black and pink bikini. I smiled slipping it on, then a cute sun dress over that. I stopped for a little to look in the mirror my baby bump was already noticeable but I'm sure I could pass as gaining weight, so it didn't matter, not yet. I slipped on a pair of cute flip flops and ran down stairs.
