7am sharp, I met Micheal at the airport. My heart was weighing down, I can feel my breath hitch a bit. I stopped walking and took a deep breath with my hands on my chest. I picked up the gift I got him — a hand knit bunny plushie — and continued on my way.
My step quickened as I walked closer and closer to Micheal. He waved his hands wildly and I waved back with a smile on my face. The moment I reached him, I gave him a huge bear hug as I handed him his gift.
"Do you have to go? I'll miss you." I said as my arms came down.
"Yeah I will too, but you know how badly I wanna see my lover. We were separated by my dad, and now I have the courage to go back. I want to stay with him." Micheal exclaimed with a twinkle that I've never seen in his eyes before.
"I know. That's why I'm letting you go. Just remember to give me calls once in a while. I might just visit you." I said as I looked him in the eye with deep care.
"I knew you would understand. I'll be waiting for your visit, or we might come to you." Micheal said with a wink, and he turned around and left.
"Alright..." I whispered under my breath as I turned around and walked out, rubbing my arms around my shoulders.
I know I haven't gotten to know Micheal much over a measly year, but we still hung out a lot. During the school year we would do hw together and over the summer we went out every week to try new things. We tried ice skating, long boarding, carnivals, escape rooms, and so much more other things.
He was like my guide to starting a new life. He was the first friend of mine in this life. He helped me explore and try new things. He was the one who was always cheery and happy; he helped change me. I was less focused on all the negatives in life and instead focused on what's positive.
And while walking lost in thought, I bumped into a lean, but muscular chest. My nose suddenly started to hurt as my hand brushed past the guy's chest.
I held my nose and expressed my apology.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Su Yi. The real question is are you alright?"
I was startled. It was Alex. My head lifted up suddenly and my eyes widened in surprise.
Why are you here?
