If only you knew

Chapter Ten

They had two months until Aletta had to leave. Xavier told Aletta that he had an idea. Aletta asked what it was.

"If you are not done packing, then you can't go."

"That would just show them, that I am not responsible, even at getting ready."

"You could say your flight got cancelled."

"That excuse isn't going to last forever."

"I know, but it would give us some time. I'm out of ideas, so you can go inside and I'll tell you if I think of anything."

"Ok."

She went inside and was playing with Shanna. Wence was in a nature group and they were on a hike in the woods for a few days. Her and Shanna played games all afternoon and watched movies. Then they went to bed.

Aletta thought that she must really want to stay because before she met Xavier she was excited to go to the country. Now she just wanted to stay but she can't, she had to go. She didn't understand how one day she wanted to go then the next day she couldn't leave. She wanted to stay and she just had to realize that she needed to leave.

WShe went to sleep and when she woke up she went right to making pancakes for her sister then to packing. She had to leave she realized that, and she was ready to go. She was ready and she knew that it was time to go. She couldn't just run anymore she was ready.

Aletta heard the doorbell and she didn't answer it. She knew who it was and she didn't want to tell him yet that she was ok with going. She could only think about what he would say to her when she tells him.

When he left the door she went out and went to the store. She looked for something to give him before she left. She wanted to get him something, when she told him. She wished that she didn't have to make all these decisions. She is ok with leaving now, but she is not sure if Xavier will be.

The next day she went and told him. She kind of gave up on the whole present idea. She went and told him that she was ok with leaving.

"I don't understand, we are going to stay together."

"I just changed my mind, that's all."

"Ok, you are going to leave and I can't go with you."

"Why don't you want me to be with you anymore?"

"There is nothing we can do about it and..."

he interrupted, "and we can't give up."

He wanted to go but obviously any and all odds were against him. Now she didn't even want to try to stay together. He asked her if he did something. She said she was just tired of avoiding what was already going to happen. No matter what they did she would still have to go.
