Gone...But Not Forgotten

Undeniable Truth

    "Well when I called they told me to stick with my family and to follow them wherever they go to stay safe and then told me to get my dad on the phone." She said slowly so she didn't miss any details.

"But when my dad got on the phone his eyes got bigger and bigger, but by the time he hung up the phone I was almost 100% sure that he was gonna cry." She nearly yelled.

"I begged him to tell me what was going on but he wouldn't until I threatened to leave. He told me that we are under a terrorist attack that could end the world if not resolved necessarily. Turns out that there have been chemical based weaponry used on the state of Idaho. There has not been a reason to why Idaho yet. But they're doing what they can to obtain all the info they need." She informed

    I leaned over and hugged her as we both were on the edge of tears but were to afraid to let down our guard. I'm sure we were both thinking the same thing. Which was, what do we do. her parents walked into the room with several boxes. I'm assuming so they can get the hell out of dodge while they still can. They didn't even stop to say anything. I looked at her and asked what we should do. She finally broke and I let her lay her head on my shoulder. Brushing my hand through her hair trying to calm her down. I whisper that it'll be okay. And that I won't let anything happen to her. Hopefully she believes me but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't. I'm not known for being the tough guy. But that mainly cause I've never been able to show how tough I am since I stay on the down low.

    About 30 minutes passed and her parents were finally done packing and they told her to go upstairs and pack. I asked if she needed help and she said that she'd like me to come with her whether I helped or not. She already had 2 travel bags on her bed ready to be filled. I started to pick up her small stuff that I knew she wanted to keep. I found this photo of me and her at an arcade called "Wahooz". At the bottom it said..."Cole and Abby's First Date!" I pulled out my phone and took a picture of it. Since I knew she wanted to keep it. I wanted a copy of it myself. I showed her and we both laughed through the fear of the current events. Seeing her smile made me so happy. Even if it wasn't a genuinely happy smile, it was still her smile.

    After she was all done packing we headed downstairs and that's when it hit me... SHE'S LEAVING! I asked where she was going and when and all she said was that she was leaving in less than a half hour. She wasn't sure where. I asked her if I could go. And her parents said no. I started to panic and hugged her. Looking into her eyes I kissed her. A tear running down my cheek. She wiped it away and tells me that I will be okay. That she'll be okay. And that we will be okay. I followed her to the car begging her parents if I could go with. Even though I could see there was nowhere for me to fit in the car. I stopped her and let her know that I loved her and she said she loved me too. I smile and say... "Forever and Always right?" She laughs under her breath smiling. "Always and Forever"
