Chapter 4

When we get home dinner is cooked and we sit down at the dinning table after getting changed.

"Thank you." Celia says while my mother puts our two plates in front of us, I don't say anything because I am daydreaming and thinking why Celia didn't say she loved me.

"Darling are you okay?" My mother asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I say. I twirl my fork over my plate in my mashed potato.

"Are you not hungry?" My mother asks.

"No, I'm not. I feel sick. May I be excused?" I say, my mother lets me go and I walk up to my room, I lay down on my bed and someone knocks at the door.

"Come in." I say and Celia walks in, I stay laying on my bed.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"Like I said, I feel sick." I say and stare at the ceiling.

"I don't believe you, there's more to it than that." She says.

"Nothing." I won't tell her what I think, she might get upset about what I think.

"Okay, your Mother wants to talk to you." She says and closes the door as she walks out the room. I stand up and walk to the kitchen where my mum is cleaning the dishes.

"Celia said you wanted to talk to me." I say as I walk in the room.

"Did you two have a fight?" She says.

"No." I say.

"Then why did you not look at her or say anything at dinner?" She looks angry. But also curious and nosy, as per usual.

"I was sick." She turns back around, I run to my room and Celia walks in behind me, I sit on my bed and 'dig' my face into my hands.

"What happened?" She asks.

"I am sorry for not talking to you at dinner." I say.

"It's okay. I don't care." She says and sits on my bed, next to me.

"You don't?" I rise my head from my hands.

"No. It didn't bother me. I wondered what was wrong." She says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because I care about you." She says and I look up at her.

"I care about you too." I say, we talk for a while and then my mum tells us to go to bed, so Celia has a shower first, then I have one afterwards, I walk back to my room, on the way I walk past Celia's room and say goodnight, then I go to bed.

Next morning, I wake up and hear voices in the kitchen, even a male voice, which is quiet weird. I walk to the kitchen and find Brad, my mother and Celia all laughing at the kitchen bench.

"Hey." Brad says and everyone turns around.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Well.. I came to see you.. I am moving to South Asia." He says.

"What? Your my only guy friend." I disagree with Brad's sudden moving plans.

"Sorry." He says. "Bye Bro." He says while walking out of the room and patting my shoulder.

"Bye." I say and watch my best friend walk out of the room.

"Hey, You okay?" Celia asks.

"Yeah I am fine, a bit disappointed though." I say.

"Don't worry. You have us still, we won't leave you." She says.

The next day is the day I have to leave.

"Hey, Jai did you pack last night?" My mother asks.

"Yes, mum." I say, I am too tired I don't want to do anything.

"Can I go back to bed?" I whine after I eat my cereal.

"No, we have to leave soon." She says.

"Ah, yay." I say.

"for the airport." She says.

"We are going to Sydney then dropping you off there.

"IT'S FOUR AM! it's too early." I winge. I really don't want to go; for some reason.

"To pack your stuff." My Mum says and I slowly walk up stairs. She obviously didn't believe me when she asked, 'Jai, did you pack last night?' and I said 'yes'. It was a lie. But I feel so tired. I pull my suit case of from above my cupboard and get 10 pairs of socks, 10 shirts, 10 pants, (including long and short) and underwear and pack it all in my suit case with one pair of shoes that I am wearing.

I get changed and take my suit case drowsily down the stairs to the front door. I plunk the suit case down and walk back into the kitchen where my breakfast is waiting. I sit beside Celia as I eat. When I finish eating we walk to the car and put my suit case in the boot. We don't do much on the way to the airport even though Mum tries to make conversation between me and Celia but we don't talk. I will miss her so much though.

I walk to the start of the airplane tunnel that I have to walk down the get to the airplane; I turn around and wave to my girlfriend and Mother. Celia runs up to me and gives me a big hug.

"I will miss you so much." She says, still hugging me.

"I will miss you too." I say.
