Kaia

I had been in the loft of the barn with Jaxx while we watched movies all night, we didn't talk about me leaving but I could see the questions in his eyes and I knew that he would be sad when I left since we are childhood friends and told each other everything.

Jaxx: will you come visit?

Kaia: I will always visit on holidays. You should come with me.

Jaxx: I would love to but I can't leave my mother.

Kaia: will you come visit me?

Jaxx: of course but where will you stay?

Kaia: I will stay on campus of course, I will have my own dorm room and won't share it with anyone.

We decided to watch the sun come up after we got tired of watching movies. I rested my head on his shoulder while the sun peaked from over the mountains.

Kaia: I wish I didn't have to leave in an hour, I'm going to miss you...

Jaxx: I'm going to miss you too...

I stood up and put the movies away along with the television when I felt him gently grab my hand.

Jaxx: there is something I want you to have before you leave.

I watched as he put a ring on my index finger, I looked at it carefully before looking at him.

Kaia: it's beautiful Jaxx...

Jaxx: I want you to keep it so you will always remember me.

Kaia: I will never forget about you.

We stood there in silence while looking into each other's eyes when I heard my dad calling me.

Kaia: time for me to go...

He didn't say anything instead he kissed me on my lips.

Jaxx: take care of yourself out there Kaia.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.

Kaia: take care of yourself Jaxx.

I walked away from him and headed to where my parents were standing and hugged them both before I left home.
