Lion Heart

The Call That Changed My life

The pain that this call was going was unbelievable...

The phone rings painfully in my ear until finally..."Hello?" says a familiar voice. "Mum, I want to come home" I say tears falling down my face."I'm ready"

I had sat in the tent for hours planning how I am going to explain this too Kian and Ebony. Ebony will be coming with me of course. I search everywhere when finally I spot Kian collecting firewood, his forehead all sweaty but as soon as he sees me his face lights up. "Kian" I say half crying. "Whats wrong?" He says running up to me and hugging me. I look up into his beautiful eyes and take in his sweaty rainforest smell and say "I'm going home"

That was the most painful 3 words I have ever said in my life and the hardest decision of my life. Kian had said I had made the right decision but as he made his way to the tent saying he needed to drop off some firewood I saw tears in his eyes. I have never made a boy cry and Kian is the last person I would want to upset. I run back to the tent and see him on his bed crying. "Kian you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, you have made me the happiest person alive, I don't know whether it's your beautiful eyes or your contagious laugh or your amazing personality but I have fallen in love with you the way I have never before fallen in love. You are the reason I wake up in the morning, the reason I know what a rhinoceros beetle is. I will never forget you but my home is with my parents even though it is going to kill me losing you. Please don't give up on me" I say. I run to him and hug him and I don't let go until night falls when finally he whispers "I love you too". 

It's been 2 days now and I already feel like how I felt at the start, hated by everyone. Everyone knows know that I am leaving and Ebony is just as sad as me. My parents are kissing me and telling me how much they love me and how happy they are that I am choosing to live with them. I am saying my final goodbyes and then I get to Kian. "I will always remember you by the name Lion heart, my Lion heart" he says.  I love the name, I love him.
