The boy of my dreams

Chapter 32-I don't like the word Goodbye

This summer was the best summer  ever. I spent my entire holiday with Jake, Aubrey, Molly, Jasmine and Megan. Noah has spent the holidays in Spain. Molly seems to be better, or she is just better at hiding it. I haven't seen Will all holiday. Tomorrow I leave to go to NYC. School starts next week but I need to get settled into my apartment. I am flying on my own. Today is a me day, and I say goodbye to everyone tomorrow morning. I have to leave the house at 6:30! So today is for me to shop for those few things for my apartment and finish packing up my stuff at home into suitcases.
"Mum I'm going shopping! I'll be back for dinner!" I screech, not knowing if she is home or not.
I have been shopping for about three hours now and my arms are so tired from lugging all these bags around. "Ow!" I am suddenly lying on the sidewalk (getting better at my American language) looking up at the blue sky with a hint of clouds. I slowly sit up and see a male body, clumped up opposite me. "I'm so sorry." I say getting up while rubbing the back of my head. I look up to see the male figure has all stood up. "My fault." He says looking at me. It is no other then my ex Will. Wonderful, just when life was starting to become normal again. I look past him and grab my bags of the floor. As I go to walk away I blump into his muscly, smooth chest. I look up at him and go to insult hum but stop myself. Remember Lilly, you are in public. "I here you are leaving tomorrow."
"Yep." I reply, popping the 'p'.
"You will do amazing, have fun in the big city, Lilly. If you ever need me call me." He says softly with his adorable smile. And I nod my head and smile, then walk away feeling peculiar.

As soon as arrive home it is dark in the living room. I stand there for a minuet, "Hello?" I whisper. The light switches on and... "SURPRISE!" Screeches through the room, everyone one is there, all my friends and mum, dad and Molly. Some balloons are spread through the living room and there are drinks and food set neatly on the coffee table. Music is playing softly in the background. "You know I have to finish packing." I chuckle, hugging Molly. "Well go finish then join the celebration!" Molly says pulling away from me, grinning. I run up stairs with my bags from today.

It has been just over an hour now and I have finish packing but I don't have the courage to go downstairs and face reality that I have to leave all my friends again, and now my family. I can her chatter and laughing and music playing. I sit curled up on my bedroom floor looking at the bare room, all my personal belong is are packed, there is just a bed, desk, a desk chair, a beanbag, a wardrobe containing a dress, two tops and a pair of jeans, then suitcase and boxes. I am leaving for four years. That is to long. I am not going to see this house is the flesh for four years as my parents and Molly are going to come stay in my uncles apartment as he only stays there for like a week a year. I am living there. That is why I am taking pretty much everything. A warm body sits next to me, I look up to see my favourite person, Jake. We sit there in silence for ages, then we hear I'm leaving in a jet plane by John Denver come on, he stands up then hoists me up and we dance in my room until the song ends, not even looking at each other. When the song ends he lifts my head up and looks into my tears eyes. "Are you scared?" He whispers into my ear.
"I'm not scared." I reply with some sass. "I'm terrified. I don't know anyone and I'm betraying the lot of ya, especially you!" I say pulling away and turning to the window, I sit in my window seat, the best place in the house. Seconds later I am joined by Jake. "You will meet lots of new people who will love you! Don't worry. And you are not betraying us." He says griping me. "I am!" I moan. "I said I would never leave again!" Tears reaper in my eyes and fall down my cheek. "This is different. And we know you are coming back. We are staying in contact this time, I can come visit you. I and am going to be with you until you leave  tomorrow, we all are. I smile and wipe my tears, standing up.

5:00am. BEEP BEEP! BE-. I push my alarm clock growling. Then Jake growls, followed by Aubrey, Molly, and Megan. We had a sleep over last night. It was so much fun. I stretch out if bed and make my way down the corridor to the like laundry room, you can fit two people, maximum in it. I grab five towels, for all of us and renter my room, throwing a towel on each individual causing them to either groan or scream. I make my way into my bathroom and turn on the shower.

Today I am just wearing my joggers and t-shirt with trainers, my hairs is in a messy bun and I am wearing so much foundation and eyeliner. Everyone helps bring my stuff downstairs and into the family car. Then we all pile in. Once at the airport dad checks my luggage in. They can't go as far as security. I hug dad then mum first, followed by Megan then Aubrey. Aubrey starts me and mum on the crying train. Then Molly grabs me, squeezing me tight, crying her eyes out, I do the same. "I love you so much, don't forget me." Molly mutters in my ear. I let her go but she takes a few seconds to let go. She whiles her eyes and steps back, last but certainly not least, Jake, he pulls me into a tight hug. "I don't think I am ready to say goodbye, I don't like the word goodbye." He squeezes out, trying not to cry.
"Well the we shall not say goodbye." I say, letting the tears stream out. "Let's say, catch you later."
