《Recovered Times》Kim Samuel [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

I stood in the line looking back and fourth between the airport and the line that continuously moved in front of me. I wanted nothing more than to back out, to run away, to ditch this stupid flight.

As I got closer to the airplane entrance, the feeling of guilt and anxiousness in my mind intensified. What was going to happen to my life in Seoul? Would I ever be able to return?

Now, the airplane entrance was in clear vision. I began to panic as I realized how close to the front I was. I watched as people passed through the doors and disappeared.

That'll be me soon.

"EVIE!"

I froze in place, I knew that voice.

I immediately whipped my head around to see the absolute last person on Earth I wanted to see at the moment.

My best friend, Kim Samuel.

"EVIE!" he called out once more, a look of betrayal displayed on his face.

His expression was one of anguish, shock, and anger. I wanted more than anything to run over to him and tell him that I was sorry and that I would stay with him forever. But I couldn't. I felt my legs growing weak and numb.

All too soon, I found myself at the front of the line. It was my turn to board the plane.

"EVIE WAIT!" Samuel cried, desperately.

His voice broke and it seemed as if he was about to cry. My heart wanted to run to him more than anything, but my mind quickly scolded the idea and kept my feet glued to the floor. I never got to say goodbye. But goodbyes are always so painful. We were both thirteen, unprepared for the twists and turns life threw at us.

Tears filled my eyes, ultimately blurring my vision. Everything seemed to be going at slow motion as I turned around and gave Samuel one last glance, a tear running down my face, before turning back around and walking into the plane entrance, without saying a single word.
