3- Where Are You Now, When I Need You?

It's 4.10 now and I'm in my PJs; standing in front of Oliver's house... I knock ever so calmly with consideration not to wake the neighbours. Almost suddenly, the door opens and it's Ollie, looking more heartbroken than I think I've ever seen him.

"Why didn't you tell me, your Dad was ill. Your mum had me all worried. I had trust in you that you weren't keeping secrets from me. Why do you have to go? I'll miss you". "Can't I come with you", I said.

Ollie stood staring at me with tired eagle-eyes and tears running down his soft baby cheeks. "You have to understand Meghan that my Dad just died and I need to support my folk over in Canada. It doesn't take away the fact that I love you. Make sure you skype me on a regular basis..... Me and my mum are leaving right this second".

All of a sudden, his mum came running out the front door with Ollie's bags and luggage..... "Wow" I tearfully said. "You have a helluva lot more stuff than your mum. That's amazing". "I'm a collector" he said. "I've collected these things all my life and I told myself I'm not going to leave anything behind. Listen, I've got to go now. Why don't you run along home and I will give you a skype when I make it to Canada. Love you lots". I kissed him on the cheek

I was crying at this point and telling myself that this would be the last time we'd be looking at each other in the eyes. I would never be seeing his face again.......

Before I left the street, I shouted "where will you be, when I need you now then. Who am I gonna talk to?!". Oliver whistled down the street and that's where I left my night at and spent most of the day in my bed........

End of chapter 3.....
