Today Matteo is moving. I've been crying for three days in a row. I'm really gonna miss him that's for sure.
Mum came into my room and once she saw my face, she frowned. "Hey sweetheart, you need to get ready so we can go to the airport to say goodbye." She said and I nodded. She kissed my forehead and then walked out to get ready herself.
I threw on my baby pink dress with a light brown belt and my light brown boots. I took my phone and walked downstairs.
After we arrived at the airport, we walked inside. The first person I saw was Matteo himself and he was talking to his girlfriend Stephaney. Mum walked up to Ben and Elena, Matteo's parents, and Luis and I walked over to Jake, Matteo's older brother. "Hey Luis can I talk to Alex? Matteo is done talking to Stephaney, maybe you can say goodbye" Jake said while patting Luis' shoulder. He nodded and walked over to Matteo.
"So... how are you taking the whole moving situation?" he asked while frowning down at me. "Okay I guess" I lied right through my teeth. "Are you sure?" he asked, arching his eyebrow. "I've been crying for three days" I said and he gasped in shock. "Come here" he opened his arms and I ran into them with tears streaming down my cheeks.
After a while I pulled away, wiping my tear stained cheeks, "Thanks Jake... and sorry for ruining your shirt" I smiled sheepishly and he chuckled. "You're welcome and it's okay really... I'll leave you alone with your best friend" he said while slowly backing away. "Who?" I asked but he just smirked and walked away. "Hey" oh he meant Matteo.
I turned around and forced on a smile but I knew that I was broken on the inside. "Hey" I said. "So?" he asked and I gave him an 'are you serious' look. "What?" he chuckled.
How can he be laughing at a time like this?
"The fact that you start a sentence with so" I said and he chuckled. "How are you?" "I'm good" I said. "That's not a genuine smile that I see?" he furrowed his eyebrows, pouting in the process.
"Oh who am I kidding? Matteo do I look fine to you? Does this look like a genuine smile to you?" I yelled and he immediately wrapped his arms around me to muffle my cries.
"I'm going to miss you" I cried. "Shhh" he whispered trying to calm me down but I cried even harder. "I'm really gonna miss you Matteo! When will I see you again?" I asked, moving out of his embrace. "I don't know...I'll call you" he smiled reassuringly.
"What about Stephaney? Are you still together?" I looked down while saying that but he lifted my chin so I would look at him and my Caribbean blue eyes locked with his amber eyes and I somehow found myself lost in them. "We're still together and we're going to Skype" he said and I could feel my heart fall into millions of tiny pieces, "Oh okay" I found myself saying before backing away from him.
After we said our fare wells, Matteo and his family waved us goodbye and entered the departure lounge. "Stephaney dear, how will you be getting home?" mum asked Stephaney.
"Oh my father dropped me off and he's outside right now, so I'm gonna go now...goodnight" she smiled politely at my mother then she shot me a death glare and walked away. "Bitch" I scoffed. "Alexis!" mum scolded and Mitch laughed.
"What mom? That's what she is! Did you not see her glare at me?" I pointed at her retreating back but mom gave me a dissapointed look. "That gives you no reason to call her a bitch nonetheless infront of your brother" she scolded and Irolled my eyes while walking to the car.

Two weeks later
It's been two weeks since Matteo left. He said that he would call but he didn't.
"Hey Alex, no call today?" Claire asked and I shook my head. "I'm really sorry" she gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze and I smiled sadly. "It's not your fault"
"Oh great here comes miss chatter box" Santiago said and we all turned to him seeing the scowl on his face. "Hey guys" I rolled my eyes at Stephaneys voice and looked at her with a frown.
"What do you want?" Casey snapped and she rolled her eyes. "I just finished talking to Matteo," I didn't think it was possible for someone to frown so much that it was naturally etched on their faces.
My face went blank as she talked about how much fun Matteo was having and how much friends he was making.
"Has he called you yet Alexis?" She smirked while looking at me but I just stood up abruptly, grabbing my things and walked away.
How could he forget about me?
