THE CHOSEN WHITE WOLF

12. Goodbyes That Aren't Forever

"When are you going to start packing?" asked Sam as he flopped down on my bed.

 Stephen followed his action and sat next to him.

"Where is Trent?" I asked not replying him.

"I asked you first. You answer mine and I'll do the same " he demanded.

"You guys never change do you?" Stephen asked.

"Nope," we said simultaneously, Sam looked at me expectantly for his answer.

I sighed. "In an hour or so I will. Happy? Now answer mine" I asked.

"Very" he replied with a grin and continued "He is in the field arranging for your security"

"You serious?" I asked fumingly.

"Yupe" he replied.

"No use of talking to him. So I'll take them" I said, not having the strength to argue with Trent on this matter.

He is always worried about my safety. Not just him, my dad, Chase, and Ethan too. Sometimes I feel like hitting them with a spatula for the ridiculous thought that I can't take care of myself. I am capable of doing it myself, yet they don't trust me.

'Don't blame them You're a klutz' Scar said.

'You're still alive' I exclaimed making her chuckle at my words.

'Óf course I am' she retorted.

"Where are you lost, princess?"Sam teased, as I zoned out in a conversation with Scarlet.

"Just talking with Scar," I said pointing to my head.

"Are you really leaving?" Sam asked with a serious face.

"Yeah" I replied grimly.

"I really wish you didn't have to leave" he pouted.

I laughed softly.

"I wish I could stay. But that's my home. I have to go. Besides, we'll be seeing each other often, since you guys will be coming over to check up on me" I convinced him.

"I know but still I can't believe time went by so fast. It's like you came here yesterday and now you're leaving. It breaks my heart" he said, clutching his heart dramatically.

I snorted at his silly antics.

Just as I opened my mouth to answer him, the door flew open and Trent came in as if he owned the place.

I raised my eyebrows at his actions. He just shrugged at me.

"Here comes the other drama queen" I commented on his entry.

"You wound me princess" he mocked pain, but nevertheless sat beside me on the couch.

He pecked my cheek. His eyes squinting, he looked anywhere but me.

"What is it?" I asked, turning his face so that his focus was on me.

"I am going to miss you" he replied, making my face scrunched in pain.

I could see Sam chewing on his lips. Stephen stood on the far end of the room, worry etched on his face.

"Guys, please don't do this" I cried.

"I will miss you guys more than you think. I have lots of good memories here. This is the place where I found myself. There is no chance I would forget this place or you guys. You don't have to worry" I tried consoling them.

"I know. Even we had our best days" Trent replied with a gentle smile probably remembering one of our memories.

"Do you remember the day Sam actually fell for the prank when I said that you were kidnapped?" Trent asked with a glee on his face.
