Fairytales Don't Exist

§chapter 13§

*Aliza's POV*

As I set on the couch in Nate's arms, I looked up at him and he seemed to be seriously thinking about something. I just wish I knew what. "What's today, Aliza?" Nate asked. "Its Friday." I answered. "Okay." he said smiling. What is that boy up to? I yawned really big. "Tired, baby?" he asked kissing my head. "Yea." I replied. "Off to bed then" he said laughing. I couldn't help myself but laugh along with him.

The days flew by and in less than 48 hours I had to be packed and ready to go to the foster care unit. I really didn't want to go, but considering that both my so called "parents" were dead, it was kind of the law. I would definitely miss Nate. He's promised to visit me everyday. Honestly, I don't know what to expect there. "Hey, you okay?" Nate asked pulling me out of my thoughts. "Um, yea I'm fine." I lied faking a smile. "Aliza, don't tell me your 'fine' because I know that your not." He said looking at me. "Okay, I'm not 'fine' and I'm not 'okay', I want to stay with you. I don't want to go to that foster care unit."  I blurted out looking down at my feet. "Aw baby, don't worry you'll be out soon and be back in my arms. I'll see you everyday." he stopped to kiss me lightly, "I love you, Aliza. So much." I smiled at him. A real smile, not a fake one. "I love you too, Nate.

Nate helped me pack as what he said sank in. He said that I shouldn't worry, that I would be out soon. What does that mean? Does he have a plan that he isn't telling me? I guess I'll find out soon enough. "Aliza! Come in here!" I heard Nate calling from the kitchen. "Okay!" I called back. I turned around and ran down stairs to the kitchen to see what he wanted. "Yes? You cal..." I stopped mid sentence and my mouth was wide open. "Love, close your mouth." he said laughing. "You'll catch flies." Nate came behind me and hugged me still laughing. I smacked his arm. "Oww!" he whined. I laughed and he kissed my cheek. "Hello, Aliza." I heard Izzy say from the the living room. I went and hugged her. "What is all of this?" I asked smiling. "Well, it's a party." Izzy stated."I can see that but I mean what's it for?" I asked. "Its for you. I don't know why, I just thought you would like it." Nate said smiling. "Oh, okay." I said returning that smile.

48 hours later I was standing in the parking lot of the foster care unit. I shivered. This place looks evil. "Aliza." I heard Nate say. I turned around facing him. He looked like he could cry at any moment. "I just uh wanted to tell you that I love you, and I'll see you everyday. If anything happens you can call me and I'll be here in 20 minutes." "I love you to, Nate. And I know, but I will miss you even though I'll see you everyday." I ran to him as he hugged me tight. I can do this. I thought to myself. I heard the door of the foster care open and u turned to look and a tall woman was standing there waving for me to come in. I looked back at Nate. "I love you, Aliza." he said as his lips crashed into mine. When we parted I whispered "I love you too. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I know to call you when ever I need to. We can text at any time because they won't take my phone." I said. "I'll still worry about you. I'll text you goodnight every night no matter what. Lets not say 'goodbye' because this isn't goodbye. Okay?" I nodded my head yes. He quickly gave me a kiss and I turned around as a tear fell and ran to the lady at the door. I looked back and saw Nate was still standing there. I waved goodbye and he waved back then I walked through the door.

*Nate's POV*

I watched her go through the doors as I was trying to hold in tears that threatened to fall. I wasn't going to cry. This wasn't goodbye. I'll see her tomorrow. I got in my car and started it. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed home. Nights will be different for awhile without Aliza here but it won't be to long before she's home again.
