"What?" I gasp.
What the fuck has he just said?
The USA? A football camp? He's leaving me?!?
"When?" I ask him
"In two weeks," Craig says happily. "Baby, I gotta go—I can't make anything of myself here, I'm always going to be known as Russ Berkeley's Little Brother" he sighs in frustration. "I wanna make something of myself without being behind Russ's shadow" he tells me softly grasping my face kissing me. "You understand don't you?" He asks me. "I mean it'll only be for a few years, and I can come back every at Christmas and through the summer. I know it'll be hard baby but we'll FaceTime and Text all the time. I just gotta do this Kitty Cat, otherwise I'll always be in his shadow" he croons kissing me again. "Do you understand?" He asks me.
My breathing shudder's in and out.
Yeah, I do—That's why this is going to hurt like a bitch...
"I do Craig, I understand" I smile sadly as a tear comes down my face.
"Baby don't cry, it'll be okay" he promises. "I love you," he tells me.
My heart leaps like it always does since the first time he told me he loved me. I smile brightly with tears cascading down my cheeks now. "I know, and I love you too, so much" I tell him and he smiles happily.
Taking a deep breath in, I continue. "So much that I'm letting you go" I tell him.
He frowns at me in confusion. "What do mean kitty cat?" He asks.
I shake my head in sadness. "I love you so much Craig, so fucking much—I understand how much this means to you, really I do—which is why I think it'll be best to end us" I sob.
His eyes widen as panic takes over his beautiful face. "No, No, Kitty Cat—We can make it work" he tells me.
I shake my head. "I..I can't Craig, it'll be too hard for us." I tell him pleading with him to understand. "I'm going to uni, you're going to the USA...your on different time difference for one, no doubt you'd need all your energy for camp and I'll need mine to concentrate on studying. Please try to understand, that am not doing this to hurt you, Craig. You are my heart, and your happiness means everything to me, if I tell you to choose, you'll end up hating me and I don't want that. So I'm doing it for you...Go to USA get out your brother's shadow,be the amazingly talented man I already know you to be" I tell him and kiss him deeply saying my goodbye in the kiss "I love you Craig Berkeley, I always will...be happy" I croak and pull myself away from him and start running.
"Catherine baby please, don't do this...I love you!! " Craig shouts after me.
"If you love me, do this for me...Be Happy Craig, Goodbye" I shout back as tears fall down my face.
Craig grabs his hair and screams. "Arrrrrggghh!!!" As he collapses to his knees.
I run away before the sight makes me run back to him...I leave him at our place which is a secluded flyover overlooking the M62 motorway. I have to be strong for the both of us, I run off heartbroken.
I reach my big sister Eva's house and knock on the door.
please be in...please be in!
