Shadow Wars

Can't Leave Someone So Close

I opened my eyes and saw myself tucked in my blanket and Mike sleeping beside me. At first it was all blurry and when I touch my face it was sticky and my pillow was wet. I looked outside and saw the rain pouring hard. The whole environment felt sorry for my family. As if the heaven for crying.
Leaving Mike and my parents was a big thing for me.
As much as I remember, Al left the room, Mike came close to me and I knew that he was listening all the time. He knew that I was leaving. I hugged him tight trying to spend the  most time with him than ever before  I leave. I went on my bed and buried my head into it and cried my heart out. It hurts. Leaving someone so close was hard. No wonder how Al left.
I cried and cried and cried with Mike sitting beside me and keeping me warm. And then I slept.

I hugged Mike tightly and cried more but I had to go. Crying was not going to help, I needed to be strong cause otherwise I would live my life and anyway if I did not leave then my parents and Mike would be in danger and I can't see them harmed.
I got out of my bed, washed my face and freshened up. I packed my bag, I kept six to seven tops , four pairs of jeans, two pair of socks , a jacket , other stuff ( You understand), my drawing book and my favourite colour pencils because I can't live without drawing and obviously my phone, laptop and charger. I think I packed to much but it's fine.
By the time I was done packing it was dinner time. I and Mike went to the dinner hall. My parents and Al were already their. I sat opposite to Al. We had a quiet dinner, everyone interested in their food. At last Al broke the silence by asking me if I was all packed up and I said yes.
" Hope you have not packed too much stuff cause it's a long way from here."
" Oh! No not much. I only have single bag with my stuff and a small sling bag for my phone and money"
" Good! It seems as if you are all packed up and ready. Btw, you need to get up by three in the morning and we will be leaving with the first ray of sun."
" You seem very punctual. And you can trust me that I will be ready on time."
" That's good."
"Honeypies! You two seem ready but I would recommend to pack some snacks cause it would be a long journey and you guys can't be hungry." My mom said with sweetness in her tone. I knew she was just showing that she is fine but from inside she would be crying her heart out.
I quickly finished up my dinner so I can sleep early and wake up on time and also could pack some snacks. My mom helped Al and me pack some snacks for our trip.
Plus, I lied to Al about the trust thing that I will get up on time cause I am a big sleepy head and some time I over sleep.

I felt as if I just went to sleep and within a minute I am up. Mike was the one who actually woke me up ( what will happen to me if Mike was not their). I got ready on time, had a light breakfast and Al and I were ready.
I hugged my parents so tight that they could not breath and Mike too. Their was a bit of snob story between my  mom and me. At last it was time to leave. Al and I hugged our parents and patted Mike and told that we would be in touch. At last I was ready to face the world. The doors opened in front of me and the world lay in front of my eyes.

I hoped you might have liked my fourth chapter. And sorry for such a short story. As this chapter was about the leaving part I got nothing much. But it sure was emotional.

So, thank you guys for reading and I will be updating soon.
