      My mom drove me to the airport at 6 in the morning,with that sad expression glued to her

lovely face I swore I'd never see again when my father left her.She didn't like the idea of

me leaving even if it was only for a few months.In fact,she kept asking me every 5 minutes

if I was sure I wanted to go live with my father for some time.She worried that I was leaving

because her new mate is going to live with us,she was right although she doesn't know it.

  "No mom I have no problem with him living with us, but like I said a million times already

I need my father too," I lied. I was always a bad lier but since I have said

this alot it sounded convincing enough that even I believed it.

   "Okay,I believe you..."   Seconds passed before she added, " for now ,though."

    It was clear she was going to miss me a lot and I hated that.I hated that for his fault I was

leaving my heartloving mother,my life, my home.I hated that for his fault my parents are split

up.All the hate I felt would last nothing to blow up if I ever saw him living in my house.And I

hated myself for not being the brave person I thought I was, for not being able to control

myself.I hate my past and my present,but something tells me I will finally be happy in the

go on if I only knew how to be brave again.

       "Sweety, if you need anything please don't hesitate to call me, I'm always here for you

okay," she hugged me tightly then pulled away to kiss my cheek.

      I smiled  wide at her and said, "Dont worry moma you'll be the first to know if something is

wrong with me."    Seeing me smile lightened her up.   " You see moma this is how I like

to see you happy,smiling I'll be back before you know it."

     A tear ran down her pink cheek,she wiped it away with the back of her sleeve then as if

she remembered something she digged in her purse.

    "Mom if your looking for your camera, you won't stop taking pictures and I'll never

leave," I giggled.

     "No,no ....," she digged harder,  "oh here it is." 

     A silver, one inch high and wide,box with a red bow ,layed on the palm of her hand.

I knew what was inside it.It was something special from a long time ago and

I haven't seen it since its owner left.It Belonged to someone I loved so much,but left like the
