Sixteen - Goodbye

I love this chapter, actually I almost cried while writing it and you'll see why. It's sad and intense and I hope you like it because I do :)

- Sorry for any grammar errors -

When me and the boys were about to leave the hospital room, Luke arrived. I totally forgot about him, how could that be possible. We spent a few more minutes with Carol before I walked out with the guys. I tried to comfort Luke because he was feeling devastated, it's our best friend we're talking about and she had a heart attack in such a young age. I asked him if he wanted to come with us but he just prefered spending more time there with her.

Now I'm at the beach with Wes. Actually we're at the parking lot, sitted on the back of his car looking to the ocean. We had dinner at his house, Laraine almost forced me to do it, she's a sweetheart I like her a lot. Then he literally took me on his shoulders and put me in his car. I thought I was being raped or something but it was worth it.

The sky is full of stars and there's no one around. And that's weird, I never thought about it but where are the paparazzis? Like, why haven't I seen not even one camera flashing since I met him? It's not like I want that, because I don't, but he's famous, we don't care showing up in public so my face should be on cover of magazines by now right? But I'm glad that's not happening, I don't know how I would react to that.

"Wes, why there's no paparazzis around since I've been with you?" I need to ask him this because I'm curious and when I'm curious I going all way down until I satisfy myself.

"Because you're ugly and no one wants to see your face" he says jokingly and I immediately remove my head that was leaned on his shoulder "Oh yeah? Tell me something I don't know" I say with the same voice tone.

"Not everyone as the same luck as me you know" he fills his chest with air trying to show me he's the best. I give him a nudge to make him stop "Oh please, don't be so cocky" and then he kisses my head and I lean my head over to his shoulder again, now with our fingers laced in one another's hands.

"But really can you answer my question?" I insist on the same subject.

"I don't know, when we're here at home they kinda let us be and that's something I appreciate about, we can have our privacy here but everything changes when we leave" his eyes now turned back at me, making me look up at him "But we can show you to the world if you want". I can't really tell if he's serious or not. I try to see that in his eyes but I can't decode it. The truth is, I want everything the same way as it is now. I tell him that and he just nods. I guess he wanted to do exactly what he said but I like it his way, I don't wanna change it.

We spent a few minutes looking at the ocean, relaxing and just appreciating each other's company. But now is the time I need to ask him the so expecting question. I stand up so I can face him and see his true emotions when he answers me. He gets a little surprised by seeing me standing up "What are you doing?" he frowns.

"Uhm, I need to ask you something" I start playing with my feet, avoiding looking to his gaze. He sees that I'm nervous and pulls me by the hand to near him "I'm all ears". I look up to his eyes and spill it out "What are we Wes? I've trying to figure that out and I still don't have an answer for that".

"Listen" he pulls me even more closer to him now placing his hands on my hips "I really like you, you already know that, and I would like to have something serious with you" he pauses and I know it's about to come an opposition to what he just said "But I'm leaving tomorrow to LA and I won't be seeing you as much as I want. Dating wouldn't be the right thing to do at this moment because I will barely see you during a month so what I was thinking was that after I come back, we should totally start our dating process". I take it all that in and think about what he said. He's gonna leave tomorrow? He's gonna leave and he didn't even told me about that?? I shove him off and take a few steps back, my arms crossed over my chest "Wait, you're leaving tomorrow and you didn't even told me? What, were you planning on sneaking around in the morning without saying anything to me? Was that what you had in mind?" I'm holding back the tears that want to spill over my eye lids.
