Chapter Three

He couldn't tell her. He can't. Just can't. He doesn't want to let go. But his parents decision is something he should obey. His parents knew about it. Will's sadness was something they're concerned. But because of Will's future and a big contribution to the family with his advanced skills is something his parents are proud of. He was happy but sad at the same time. The future is ahead waiting for you maybe forget the sadness within himself.

It's his time to tell her. Kid's can feel nervousness even though we adults are not serious about this kind of scenario. He wants to tell her in person formally.

He knocks on her door. She opened the door and Will waited for her to say something or yell to him but

She smiled.

For the first time in his eyes. He saw her smiling at him. She smiles with her other friends like Seanna and Gina but for him it was something new that he couldn't tell her he's moving out.

"Hi." she said. "Hello." he said.

They stare each other for solid 10 seconds and she decided to break the ice. "Do you need something, Will?" His name was perfect from her voice and Will wanted to hear her speak more. "Uhh, yeah I wanted to tell you something." He lowered his head. "I'm moving out."

"I know." she said.

He looked at her. "So that's why you're smiling at me? Because I'm gone?". "No, I wanted to tell you something too." Which is Will is in full anticipation. " I like you William."

He couldn't believe what he heard.

"What? I mean-". " I like you William Christopher Shire." And that's it. He couldn't help but smile and hug her tightly. Adeth couldn't believe herself too. She directly confess to him with no extra words. She was relieved and happy at the same time. And so as Will.

"You don't know how much I longed for this." said Will. "Well were just kids, we feel things like this in an early age." she said.
"Will, even though you're moving out, don't forget to think of me." she said with a tone of sadness. "We are far away from each other now. I can't just stop you. I understand and I'm sorry for everything. For bullying you and ignoring your feelings. I'm not tht kind of girl to show affection even to my parents." Will couldn't believe everything. He thought 'is this the Adeth that I knew my whole life?'. "You're not dreaming Will." she said with a smile.

And that he made a promise. That he is sure he can't break it even if risking his life is included.

"I promise you, I will make a home for us when I get back. I'm going to study for Architechture and I will get you back. Adeth, I'll come back for you." and she couldn't help it but cry amd hug him tight.

"I promise that I will wait for you." and that they were hugging each other in the middle of her doorstep. Her parents saw everything and felt the sadness between them.

"Take this." he handed her a piece of paper. "My mom told me that's the address of the place we're moving in. Let's write letter with each other so we can still communicate." she smiled. "Okay, I will." They couldn't let go of each other's hands. Will ran back home.

"I promise to build a home for you, My dear Adeth".
