Lost Without You

...leaving...

Paige

Several months passed and my dad finally returned home from training and made a surprise visit to the school before taking me home.

Josh: Paige sweetie I know this is sudden but I want you to move in with me...

Paige: but dad what about my friend?

Josh: I'm sure your friend will understand if they truly care about you

Paige: when are you planning on going and where?

Josh: my home is in California now and we can leave tomorrow if you want to say goodbye to your friend.

Paige: yeah tomorrow is good, I need to pack my things before we leave.

I waited around for Dylan to get home so I could stop him and tell him that I was leaving...it was breaking my heart just thinking of how I was going to tell him but it needed to be done...I seen him about to walk in the yard where he lived when I stopped him...

Paige: Dylan can we talk alone please?

Dylan: yeah, what's up Paige?

I grabbed his hand and lead him to the backyard and we sat down in the swing under the weeping willow...

Paige: well you deserve to know that my dad come back for me and he wants me to go live with him...

Dylan: that's not a bad thing Paige, we can still see each other everyday...

Paige: I wish we could but he lives in California now...

Dylan: oh...well that is going to be difficult but we can still be friends and talk to each other.

Paige: I don't like the idea but I can't stay here, I'm only sixteen

Dylan: I wouldn't want you leaving alone anyway, I think its great that you are going to live with your dad now.

Paige: yeah, than why does it feel like my heart is being ripped from my chest?

Dylan: it's going to hurt for awhile but its going to be okay...

Paige: I'm going to miss you Dylan.

Dylan: I'm going to miss you too Paige and we will see each other again I promise...

I smiled at him after he said that and laid my head on his shoulder, I felt him gently place his arm on my shoulder and place his head on mine when my dad walked in the back and seen us...

Josh: time for dinner Paige...

Paige: I better go...bye Dylan

Dylan: wait Paige, I want to give you something before you leave

I watched as he pulled a necklace out of his pocket and placed it around my neck and quickly fastened it...

Dylan: I know its not much but at least you have something to remember me by and besides a little birdy told me that you love wolves so...

Paige: thank you Dylan and if you talk to the little birdy tomorrow can you let them know that I never regretted being friends with them...

Dylan: sure, I will see you around. Enjoy your dinner Paige and don't worry this isn't goodbye, I will see you sooner than you think...
