((ENJOY))

Katrina

It was a nice morning when I got up, I had my breakfast with my parents, after getting dressed, I headed on to his house, excited to see him before heading to school. He's been a bit off these couple of days, I've noticed, but shrugged it off as just school stress. Which is common between students.

I knocked on their door, Carrie opens it, her eyes showing unshed tears.

"Are you alright?" I asked, worriedly. She pulled me into a hug and cried. I was rubbing her back, letting her cry.

She pulled away, looking at me. "Honey, he left."

I'm confused now.. "um, who left?" I asked.
"Elijah left. I tried to get him to tell you, but he didn't have the heart to tell you." Carrie tells me. I shook my head no, running upstairs to his room, sure enough his things are gone, not everything.

That's when I realized, that the only guy I've truly loved, left...left me without an explanation, he didn't even leave a note. I pulled my phone, dialing his number.. unavailable.. tears forming in my eyes, but I refused to cry. His mom comes in, sitting beside me, that's when I bursted out crying. She engulfed me into a hug.

"I'm sorry." She says.. I nodded. After our little crying moment, I pulled myself together, looking at her. "He'll be back." I say confidently.. "I will wait for him, until he does."

His mom looks unsure.. "because I love him, and can't possibly think of being without him." I tell her, getting up from the bed. She nods. "Thank you for loving him."

I nodded, excusing myself. I walked inside my house, both of my parents, worried at my state. I explained to them. They felt sad, but hid it as to not make me sad. My gals came and I broke down crying, until I couldn't cry anymore.. they helped me feel better. Jake gave me a call, he explained a few things about why Elijah left, that made me feel a bit better. I thanked him and hung up. I didn't feel like going to class, so I called in sick. My gals stayed with me..

~End~

The memories occupying my thoughts, making me stare out into the distance of my bay window.. keeping my hopes up that he'll come back, but no luck. I love him, I  never stopped. In my heart, I know he is the one for me. I've graduated with honors, but held off on going into a law firm. I work from home.

Someone clears their throat,.pulling me put of my thoughts, I looked at my parents.

"Katrina dear, we aren't sure how to tell you this.. but, I think it would be best if you went away for a little bit, because frankly my dear, this is unhealthy for you.." my dad tells me.

I remained quiet.

"That's why we think it would be best, if you stayed at your aunt's for a little while." My mom says.

"What? Why?" I ask.

"We think it would do you good." My dad says.

I wanted to argue, but he didn't allow it.
I sighed, feeling defeated.
"When?" I asked.
