Did You Forget?

Goodbye

Two weeks later...(again)
It's happening, it doesn't matter how much I want to stay in Madrid, we're going. I'm sitting on the floor of our living room, my suitcase next to me, looming over me. I flick through photos on my phone, regretting it immediately. The picture keep reminding me of what I'm leaving behind. I've said goodbye to Isabella and Luciana and we promised to keep in touch. I still haven't told Leon. As far as he knows, I'm still staying here and in a week. I will be going to the pool party with him. It breaks my heart to think of how he will feel once he realizes that I'm gone. The last two weeks have been amazing. We've been on romantic dates and had such a great time that I almost convinced myself that that was me saying goodbye to him. But it isn't. I'm not going to say a proper goodbye to him. All I'm doing is writing everything down in a letter. I'll visit his house before we go to the airport and secretly give it to him.
My dad calls me outside and tells me to get into the car. I look at my house while we leave the driveway and try my best not to cry. I'm pretty sure if I go to Leon's house with red, puffy eyes he's going to know that something is up. Dad parks a few streets away from the house and I walk up to their front door and ring the doorbell. Mrs Vagras answers it and smiles at me.
"Violetta! I didn't know you were coming over! Come in" she said kindly, ushering me in. I came in and sat gingerly on the sofa. A few moments later Leon came down and looked at me surprised.
"Vilu? What are you doing here?" He said, confused but happy.
"I came to see you" I said, not knowing how I'm going to say my final goodbye to him.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm going somewhere with my dad for a couple of days and I won't be here" I lied, amazed at how easily it slipped of my tongue.
"Oh ok" he said
"So I came to say goodbye" I said
He looked at me weirdly.
"Vilu...you're only going for a couple of day" he replied.
I started walking towards the door and he followed.
"I know...but still" I said, completely lost for words.
"Well, I'll guess I'll see you next week then" he said grinning.
"Mmhm" was all I could force out.
He leaned in and kissed me passionately. To him it was just another kiss but to me it was more than that. I quickly slipped the letter into his pocket and hoped that by the time he read it, I would be gone. I have him a quick hug and made my way back to the car. I saw Olga looking at me sympathetically. The car started again and went down the narrow road, on its way to the airport. I looked out of the car window and tears lured silently down my cheek.

Sorry for not updating in so long! I slipped two weeks in the boom because I'm not very good at writing about dates and things like that. I hope you liked it although it was a bit depressing.
