January, the bleakest, most boring month of the year.  February was pretty good this year, since now I have a valentine this year. Go ahead and call me cheesy but I bought Aaron chocolate, which I mostly ate but that's not the point. March, meh. April, more like sprained ankle. I sprained my ankle while running, see, this is the reason I don't exercise! May, more like, freedom...day... I don't know! For the summer, Yami decided to stay over with me again. Which I obviously don't mind. As soon as school was out, we were gone. We went to the Dairy King down the road a ways from school. We got large cones, which ended up mainly all over our faces. We swam at the pool located in my neighborhood, we meet up with a bunch of kids from our class, so far, this summer was almost too good to be true. 

Key word, almost.

It was July, Yami and I were playing video games in my room, 2v2, and discussing when we should move back into the dorms. 

"To be honest, I think the sooner the better." 

"What, you don't like my house?" I teased. 

He rolled his eyes and nudged his shoulder at mine. "It's not that, maybe to get readjusted before school gets too close you know?" Suddenly his pocket buzzed. He paused the game and took out his phone. I placed my head on his shoulder and looked at his screen. 

He sighed. "It's my mom, I should take this." 

He got up and I leaned back in my chair. And so I waited. And waited. And waited. And I continued to wait, and then finally he came in the room, but he looked, sad. He threw his phone down on the bed and collapsed on it. I went over to him and I laid down next to him. 

"What's wrong my tiny Brit?" He sighed. Odd, that nickname usually made him smile, partly because it was ironic because he's taller then me, and the other part was just because it was kinda dumb. 

"My mom," he said, his voice was small, "wants me to go back home." 

I raised an eyebrow. "I don't see what the problem is." 

"She wants me to go to school there, she wants me to come back home

Then it hit me. She wants him to move back, to stay there and not come back here. 

"What?! Why?" 

He sat up and shook his head. "I don't know, I didn't really listen," he said looking up at me sadly. I kissed his forehead, "when?" 

"She said she has tickets booked for tomorrow's flight." 

I sighed and hung my head. "Ok, guess we better pack then." Tears welled in my eyes but I didn't let them slip, I had to be a man! I helped him grab his trunk from under my bed, helped him take his clothes out of my closet. We went downstairs to break the news to my mom and brother, both of them sad to see him go. Dinner was quiet, there really wasn't much to say anyway. That night Yami slept in his clothes, since everything else was packed up. I rolled over from my bed to his, making the sound trucks make when they back up. 

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!" That made him laugh, and I collided with him, my face centimeters away, his breath hot on my face. 

"You're the biggest dork I've ever met." 

"Thank you, it means a lot" he kissed my nose, and I didn't dare move, and we fell asleep like that.

Aaron clutched his bag tightly as he stood in front of the terminal. He was last in line, I stood next to him, telling him all the things he needs to do while he's gone. 

"And I want letters monthly. And don't forget to text me often," I grabbed either side of his face and pulled it close to mine, "very often." 

"Noted." Then I let go, he was coming up to get his ticket from the lady. I kissed him, quick and sweet, just like the first one. He waved and headed off, I waved back, and turned to walk away, but then remembered something. 

"Yami I wait!" I grabbed the folded piece of paper out of my pocket and turned around, hitting someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry mate." He said quickly scurrying past me with his head down, he had an Irish accent. Weird. I quickly shook it off as he was looking at me impatiently. I quickly gave him the letter, and ran off, saying a quick 'I love you'. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dashed out of the airport right outside the doors, waiting for my ride. I've been in this country for no more then ten minutes and I've already managed to run into people and make a fool of myself. I waited and waited and waited, until finally, my ride came. 

"Hey Jackaboy! You been waiting long?" Felix said, a large smile on his face. 

"No not long at all, my flight only landed an hour ago." 

"Good! Wouldn't want to keep our new guest waiting." I loaded my stuff in the back of the car and jump in the front seat. Two people sit in the back. 

"Jack, you know Ken and Cry right?" 

"Uh ya, I mean not real well, but ya." 

"Good enough for me." He put the truck in gear and drove off. 


Hope you enjoyed. Yay Jack! I wonder what will happen next, hmmmmm, oh wait, I know, but I shall never tell. Ok, I'll see y'all later, bye lovelies! -Rebecca
