Six Hours

Chapter 1: Intro

What would you do if you only had six hours left? Six hours to spend with the person that made everything worth it.

"What do you mean you're moving?!"

She put her head down as she closed her eyes. I knew she didn't want to look at me, this must be so hard for her to say. She let out a long sigh of sorrow and regret. Barley opening her eyes, partly because tears were overcoming them, she managed to lift her head.

"I'm so sorry Troy, I... I..."

She didn't know what to say, I don't either. This is all just a shock to me. One day everything was fine and normal, the next day I'm losing everything. I just don't know how to respond. I hold her arms and rest my head on hers. Everything is still, it's as if we're the only two people on earth, which is how I'd like it to be.

"I have to go." She whispers.

What, how could she just leave now after dropping this bomb on me?

"What do you mean, why can't you stay?"

"I need to get home, my mom's probably going to be home any second"

I understand why she has to leave, but I don't want her to, I want her to stay with me.

"Okay, be safe"

I slowly let her go, pulling away from her. I can feel an emptiness growing I'm me, the farther we get from each other, the stronger it gets. It was agonizing. She got on her bike and started to pedal away.

"I love you!"

She looked back at me and mouthed the same words. I can do nothing but watch her fade away into the distance, I feel so hopeless. She's moving and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Ugh! I fall against the wall of my school, sitting with my knees up. I run my hands through my hair, grasping at the ends. I don't care if anyone else sees me, right now, all I care about is Rosie. The wind starts to pick up as the sky gets grayer. I can feel the air getting cooler as the little hairs on the back of my neck start to stand up. I can see the goose bumps on my arms sticking out, as I'm starring at them I drift off into a memory:

"Dang you must be really cold, your goosebumps are showing. Why didn't you bring your sweater?"

"I didn't think it was going to be this cold, okay. I looked outside and saw the sun, when the sun is out it is not supposed to be cold"

"Haha you're an idiot"

"I'm your idiot. Face it Rosie, you're stuck with me."

"I can live with that"

I woke up from my trance, entering reality. How I wish we could live in our memories. It was a time not so far away, yet it seemed so distant now.

As me and my dad pull up to the driveway of my house I think back to what just happened. She didn't have time to explain anything, where she's moving, when was her last day? These are all details that are necessary to me. I walk into my room, avoiding contact with my family. As soon as I close the door, I break down. That's right, guys cry too! When a girl cries over a guy, she really loves him. But when a guy cries over a girl, he will never love another girl like her. Just then I get a text from my best friend, David. He had moved away about a year ago to New York, it seems like everyone I care about leaves me. He was in love with Rosie's sister, Darcy, and she loved him. He went through the exact same thing that I was going through, having to say goodbye to the love of your life. I figure that if I talk to anyone about it, he's the best person to talk to.

Hey man, did u hear about the move

Yeah, Rosie just told me

Man that's craaazy, now ur gona know how I felt. Ahaha what r u gna do

I just know that it's going to really suck at first

Ya it will I cud tell u dat... then either u move on or keep in contact... then whatever happens happens... what are r goin to do with ur last days with her, only two months

Two months! ugh! Probably just try to spend as much time with her as possible

Ttssss that's crazy. I just thought they used to talk to talk, but he actually got the job

Ikr, I always knew it was a possibility, now it's a reality

What were u thinkin when u found out, what went through ur mind

A lot of frustration built up in me. I felt sad and hopeless... still do

It'll b alrite man... I thought the same as u but it rlly isn't the end of the world

Yeah I know, just needa think positive

So when are u gonna c Rosie again

Tuesday

What r u gonna do

Just ensure her that no matter what happens I'll never stop loving her. that everything will be fine as time passes. I'm just gona try to distract her and have her focus on the positives

Man U better make sure that u enjoy these last cupl of days aha

Trust me, I will. I'm gona make these last days memorable

U better

What did u do, when u were leaving

I wanted to do what ur saying and make it memorable but I don't think I rlly fulfilled that commitment as much as I wanted to so u better do everything u can and have no regrets come their departure date!

Do you regret not kissing Darcy on the last day

I regret not kissing her at all... ever. I regret a lot of things Troy so that's y I'm telling u not to make the same mistake cuz ur gona h8 urself for a long time. Now's ur chance, take it!

Don't worry, I will

U better, hey I g2g text u l8r. Hang in there

C ya

That's it, that's what I need to do, I need to make these last days memorable. Our schedules are all mess up, we don't have any of the same classes. The only time we have is when I'm waiting to go to Spanish class and she's waiting to go to art class on Tuesdays, 45 minutes. That's 45 minutes a week for two months, there are eight weeks in two months. Eight times 45 gives me 360, 360 divided by 60 is 6... I have six hours left with her, six hours of just me and her...

So this is kind of going to be somewhat of a short story, I mean it's only six hours :/
