It's time for him to leave. I know he will be back but I don't want our relationship to pause and not feel the same. Why am i being so dramatic 6 months is nothing.
Then again it reminds me of my father who left, who left to cheat and never decided to do his duties as a father again, but Cane is not my father and never will be. But he can get very badly hurt, and never come back, no I must remain positive. I will only worry when there is something to worry about and we can write to each other though the delivery will take two months so hypothetically we can only send three letters.

Enough overthinking I thought to myself go downstairs to see Cane. I walked slowly down the stairs Saw Cane by his father and Aunt at the door.
"Well we have said our goodbyes, see you in six months, son."
"Goodbye father and aunt."
He walked out the front door. I waited for them to leave so I could run after Cane . It is a bit awkward and i don't have time for questioning.
I silently slipped through the door.  As soon as I did Steven was in front of me.

"How are you doing Lila, why are you out? Do you need supplies or any help?"
"Honestly Steven, this is a secret but I want to say goodbye to Cane."
"Why are you two fooling around, I told you this is what he does."
I smiled, not because i agreed but because he had the audacity.
"Cane is not like that, a simple mistake it was and he has learned. Don't we all make them, and I trust Cane, that does not define him."
"He-"
"Lila," I heard the familiar voice say. I love the way he says my name, it sounds lovable.
"Cane."
"You should say my name more, " he said cheekily.
I ignored the blush creeping up on both of us.
"I'll see you later Steven, could we have a moment alone."
"Sure,"he said stoically and walked away.

"Before you go, I have a gift for you."
I wrapped a pink bow across his arm.

"Hi", he said.
"Hi?, you mean goodbye?
"For now."
I let out a chuckle. "You will write to me, right?"
"I don't know, should I?"
This time I'll be vulnerable.
"You should or else I'll be really sad."
He looked, he just looked, and walked closer and closer until he was right in front of my face, our lips almost touching.
"Will you give me a goodbye kiss, he practically begged?"
"I will."
