love within distance

chapter 15: see you later

today is the day I've been dreading....its moving day. we're just about all packed, Casey and I have our stuff packed up and mom is just finishing up packing the kitchen so while she does that I'm going to go see nick, tell him goodbye...for now anyway. I would go and say bye to Allie but she's at her dads house for the weekend so we said or goodbyes last night. I'm gonna miss her and her family like crazy !

*nicks house*

"so today's the day huh?" nick asks with sad eyes and a slight frown on his face, already knowing the answer to the question. "yep" I say to him, sad to even think I'm leaving. "I don't want to go though, I don't want to say goodbye to you...I don't want to leave you" I confess to him...tears threatening my eyes, blinking them away I look to him for a response but he says nothing. I think he's try to process this himself and I understand that, I mean its just now hitting me. this is real...I'm leaving. not saying a word nick gets up off the couch and pulls me up to my feet by my arm and he hugs me. I hug back instantly, feeling relaxed and safe in his arms...I'm gonna miss being in his arms..I'm gonna miss him. "listen to me Kristen, this is not goodbye alright ?.... its a see you later because we will see each other again that I can promise. you mean way too much to me for me to never see you again I care too much about you to let you walk out of my life you are and always will be my best friend......I love you Kristy." he tell me while holding me so close and tight in his arms as if he's not willing to ever let me go and I can only hope he won't. I start to cry. my heart aches....I love this boy "I love you too nick and you gotta promise me you will never forget me and we'll be friends forever" I tell him. he starts rubbing circles onto my lower back giving me chills. he chuckles a bit before looking down at me "oh Kristen hahaha I couldn't forget you even if I tried...besides you can't forget someone who you love and care for this much and like I said we will always be friends and we will see each other again so I can promise you I won't ever for get you and we will be friends...forever" he reassures me then kisses my forehead and cheek and noise and I can't help but giggle....he's got bad aim..he keeps missing my lips I think to myself. I can't help but wonder what his lips taste like......wait..NO !! Kristen stop !!!! I push those thoughts away to look at the clock and boy do I regret doing that. "nick....its time, I have to go" I tell him. trying my best not to break down and cry. I know I have to go but I can't find the strength to escape from nicks arms..I don't want to find the strength to escape his arms. "I know, come on I'll walk you." he says kissing my forehead one last time before grabbing my hand and walking me back home, one last time..for now....
