"Please." Robin begged for the hundredth time. "We need you here." He said. "Yeah right." I scoffed. "Please don't leave." He cried. "Robin, listen. I have to go. It won't be forever. I just...I just have to figure things out." I said hating myself for lying to him. He just looked at me with sadness on his face. He sighed. "Fine, but you have to Skype me everyday and call me and keep me updated." He said sternly. I chuckled. "Okay." I said.
"Now you have to go, if your going to say your goodbyes and still have time to get to the airport." He said, tears streaming down his face. My tears threatened to spill over, but I wouldn't let them. I had to stay strong for Robin.
He pulled me into a hug and my tears just started falling. He took me by my shoulders and said "You're going to have to be strong without me, but I know you can do it, because you are the bravest person I've ever met. Now get going before I change my mind and lock you in my basement." He said with a sad smile.
Even when I'm about to breakdown he can still make me smile. "Don't you ever try to get another best friend while I'm gone." I said. "Never. And I promise I'll be standing right here when you get back." He said with a small smile. I just nodded and walked out.
When I got outside I started sobbing. Robin, I'm sorry, but I'm not coming back. Ever. I thought. I said my goodbyes and then went to my sister's house or more specifically my twin's house. I stood in front of the big, wooden doors, contemplating on if I should knock. In the end I decided to. Knock knock knock. I waited a few seconds then the door opened.
Lacey wore a smile until she saw it was me. "What are you doing here? Are you going to kill me like you tried to kill yourself? If you don't leave soon I'll call the police." She said about to shut the door. "Wait, no. I just want to talk. It will only take a few minutes." I said. "Fine, you have three minutes." She said with a look of disgust.
"Okay, well I'm leaving forever. I'm going to America, so I can have a better life. So I can just start over. I'm not coming back, so you don't have to be ashamed anymore. You can have the happy life you wanted. So I just came by to tell you thanks for being my sister and I love you, but before I go I have two favors to ask of you." I didn't wait for her to answer. "Please don't tell Robin. He doesn't know. He thinks I'm coming back after graduation. I just don't want to hurt his feelings. And two please forget about me. I don't want you to be ashamed anymore. I don't want you to be burdened by me. I'm sorry for taking up your time, but I'm leaving now. " I said turning around.
I felt her grab my arm. I turned around and saw her crying. "Your really leaving forever?" She asked. I just nodded my head. "I'm sorry. I'm not ashamed of you. I'm ashamed of myself. I've been a terrible sister. I've been horrible to you, but yet you're so nice. Why?" She sobbed. I regained my composure and said "I've been nice because I love you and you're my family." I smiled warmly at her. She pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear "I'm sorry." "I forgive you." I said. I looked at my watch and said "I have to go." "Okay, but will you promise you'll come visit?" She said with hope in her eyes. I smiled and nodded.
I was driving to the airport thinking, I'm finally going to get out of this prison I call home. Everyone hates me, but I don't want to leave my friends and Lacey. I'm moving from my home, Japan, to my father's home, America. I was going to an estate my father owns. Hopefully, he will accept me.
I finally made it to the airport. I got my bags and climbed the stairs to the plane. I took a deep breath before entering. I took an empty seat next to a window. I turned off all my technology except my iPod. I put my headphones on and looked out the window. The plane had just lifted off and we were flying over my town. My home. My iPod started playing Wish You Were Here by Avril Lavigne.
I can be tough
I can be strong
but with you
it's not like that at all
there's a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
you just walked through it
and I remember all those crazy things you said
you left them running through my head
you're always there
you're everywhere
but right now I wish you were here
all those crazy things we did
didn't think about it just went with it
you're always there
you're everywhere
but right now I wish you were here
damn, damn, damn
what'd I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
damn, damn, damn
what'd I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here
By the end of the song I was silently sobbing. Thinking about Robin and Lacey and everyone else. I couldn't stop crying, I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up I heard the flight attendants say "We are now landing." I must have slept the whole way there. When the plane landed everyone got up and started to leave. I got my stuff and stood in front of the door. I took a deep breath just like when I entered the plane. Once I step off this plane my new life in America will begin. I stepped out the door.
How do you like it so far. I know it's kinda sad, but it'll get better. And, yeah, I know there is no werewolf stuff yet, but there will be. Be patient my dear friends. K, kanichiwaw. (it's supposed to be hi in Japanese. I'm not Japanese in anyway...so.....yeah.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DEDICATED TO MY FRIENDS- paypay01, divergentbeqiri, and JennatheNarwhal. LOOK THEM UP.
Izzy your Robin, but as a girl. Payton your Lacey. And Jenna your character will be here soon.
