Chapter 6

Diana's POV

I was pinned on the wall by James! He smiled at me kindly and lets go of me. I quickly hugged him and he hugged me back. It's nice to see him again.
"You scared me." I said. "I thought you were someone else." He lets go of me once again and we both sat on my bed.
"And why are you here in my room?"
"I was waiting for you." James said innocently.
"And?" I said trying to get him to say the real reason. He sighed and hugged me. I was shocked of course. But I was kinda expecting it to happen.
"Are you sure your going?" He said softly. I nodded and rested my head on the crook of his neck. He hugged me tighter not willing to let go. James and I are childhood friends but he is 2 years older than me. We met because of our parents and we attend the same school. We have so many fun times together and leaving would end it all.
"I'm sorry.." I whispered as tears escape my eyes.

James' POV

"Are you sure your going?" I said softly. She nodded and rested her head on the crook of my neck. I'm going to miss this girl. This girl who I treated as my little sister. This girl whom I had so many unforgettable memories with. I can't believe that she's really going away, far away from us. From me.
"I'm sorry.." She whispered as tears escaped from her eyes. I hugged her even more. I don't want her to go. But I don't have a choice. I need to let her go.
"I'll miss you, James." She said between her sobs. "I know that you know that I love you so much that it hurts to leave."
She loves me, more than a brother and friend. I love her too but only as a friend and a sister, no more, no less.
"I know." I whispered. She continued to cry and I just comforted her. Then she fell asleep. Poor Diana. I released her from the hug and tucked her in. I wiped some of the tears on her cheeks. Then I heard a knock  on the door.
"James, it's almost time to go." My mother said. I sighed. Not now please.. I want to treasure this last moments with her before she goes.
"James?" My mother called again.
"Ok mom. I'll be done in a few minutes." I said and I heard footsteps going away from Diana's doorstep. I quickly wrote a note on a piece of paper I got from Diana's notebook. After I finished writing, I stood up and I was about to open the door. But something was missing. I went closer to where Diana laid.
"I'll miss you Diana." I said and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I love you, little sis." Those were my last words and I left her. 'I know we'll see each other again. Maybe not this year but I know we will.' I thought before closing her door.
