"Goobye Sweetie." said my mother lovingly. "Take care" she kissed my cheek and hugged me tightly.

"Be good. Remember. This is for the best." my dad said hugging me, trying to choke back tears. I moved on to my boyfriend.

"Babe. I love you. Remeber that." he cried silently into my ear. I hugged him tightly and kissed him gently. 

"I love you too babe." I choked out. Tears blurred my eyes. 

I turned and grabbed my suitcase to get up into the tour bus that would take me to Italy. I cringed. Too many people were already in there. This was gonna be a long ride. The bus driver took my case and through it into the bottom of the bus. I climbed aboard and took an empty seat next to the window. My parentws and boyrfriend waved to me. Cchoking back tears I waved back and blew them each a kiss. 

A young woman and child sat next to me on the bus. The child was a toddler, a girl, around 4. Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked up at me. I smiled as the girl waved hi to me. I waved back and she grinned. The woman gave me a tired smile and settled down to sleep. The little girl sat next to me and looked up.

"Pwease put on my seatbwealt." she squeaked. I smiled.

"Sure thing." 

After tightening her seatbelt I settled down. Nestling my head into chair. The little girl had taken out a drawing pad and was scribbling on it. Her mother had her eyes close, but I knew she was still wide awake. 

Suddenly the bus engine started and I sighed. Adios Germany. The place I was born and raised. I waved goodbye from my window to my parents and boyfriend yet again and the bus rumbled away, leaving nothing but a trail of dust behind us.

"One, two, three, four, we come knocking at your door, five, six, seven, eight, please open the door for me, 9, 10, 11, 12, I've got some pie for us." hummed the little girl. I sighed, for the millionth time. 

Looking out the window I watched the country side fly by. 

"Wook! That cloud looks like a pig!" squealed the little girl, her blonde hair flying as she turned her head in my direction, pointing at a cloud. 

"Hm? I think it looks more like a cow." her mother said.

I looked out the window to study the clouds.

Lookie Lookie. That one looks like a plane, that one over there looks like a large bird, that one by the left, that looks like two people holding hands. 

The wound in my heart opened up again as I looked at the cloud that resembled two people holding hands. Never again would I see Charles. Never again would be hug, never again would we share a kiss, or hold hands, or watch a movie together. 

Tears blurred my vision. I cursed myself, I would not cry, not  here not now.

"Are you okway?" the little girl asked, her face full of worry.

Tears started streaming down my face at her words. The girls mother looked at me.

"It's okay hun. I've done this a million times. I had to be parted from her father." she said pointing at the girl. The lady had a perfect American accent. She must be from there. 

I nodded. The lady gave me tissue to wipe my tears away and to blow my nose.

"It's okway." the girl whispred patting my pack. "You should be happy! Italy is fun!" 

I smiled weakly and thanked them. Turning back to the window, my heart leaped as I saw a clous that I swear was a face. It had a chin, nose, and a forhead. It was a sideway veiw of the head. Startled, I stared at it.
