"Lou you can't leave!" I shout tears brimming in my eyes at the thought of my best friend leaving me forever. "I don't want to leave Delilah." Lou sighs playing with one of my loose pigtails. "When will you get back?" "I don't know Del." He replys gently wiping away a tear that had escaped and travelled down my cheek. "I'll miss you Louis." I cry flinging my small chubby arms around him. "I'll miss you too Delilah." He says his voice breaking slightly. For a while the only sounds around us were my sobbing and although he was trying to remain strong and not cry in front of me I could feel his chest moving up and down and hear his very faint whimpers. "It's okay though Del, I promise we'll be together again." He said through small sobs giving up on his attempt to reasure me everything was okay as he began to cry harder. "Pinky promise?" I asked looking in to his light blue eyes with hope. "Pinky promise." He said firmly rubing his nose with his sleeve and sniffling before linking pinkys with me and kissing my cheek softly. I watched as he made his way down my driveway his hands in his pockets for the last time. "I love you Louis." I whisper softly.
