Goodbye Changed Everything
Chapter 1: Dirt
A/N: Hey guys! Just a little something I was thinking about the other day, and I had to get it down on paper. Hope you enjoy! Read and review please!

Gone… Gone… Gone…forever. Just like that. Hopeless thoughts filled her mind as she took the dirt in her hand, sobbed an, "I love you," and threw the muddy soil onto the shiny dark casket, and turned into…
…no one.
She took a mascara-heavy tissue out of her black dress pocket, taking it up to her eyes again. As the girl dabbed on courageously, just wanting to be able to see, she spotted a man across the grave in his mid-twenties with an all black expensive looking suit on and dark hair slicked back who was taking a handful of the dirt and letting it ceremoniously roll off his fingers and onto the casket.
As he looked up, his dry eyes met her painfully wet ones. The man wordlessly walked over to her, and she unabashedly rushed into his arms and sobbed into his chest, clutching a fistful of his shirt in her hand, just to have something to hold.
It poured.
"If you ever need anything, anything at all, I'm here…" his words echoed in my head as I carelessly packed random articles of clothing, and, you know, all my earthly belongings, into my duffel bag. I held a slip of paper between my index finger and thumb, running my thumb over the precisely written numbers. Before I could talk myself out of it, I pulled out my phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" He picked up on the first ring.
"Hey…uh, it's me." I stumbled through my sentence. "Um, I kind of need a place to stay…" I waited for him to say something, but a gap of awkward silence filled the conversation. "Mom and her, uh, fiancé kicked me out…" I blushed into the phone. I was the spitting image of my father: same soft brown hair, same hazel-green eyes. And she couldn't bear to be reminded of him in anyway. She just wanted to start her new life with that replacement whom she called her love.
"I'm in Paris. Do you have money for a flight?"
"Yes."
"Text me the flight information; I'll pick you up." A breath I didn't know I was holding eased out. I beamed into the receiver.
"You're the best. Thank you, Arthur." I heard him smile.
"Love you, too. I'll see you soon."
The line went dead, and I slumped, relieved, onto my bed. It was good to have my big brother back.
Just an introduction, really. Setting up for what is to come! I hope you liked it- Sorry it's so short. I'll update as often as I can; it'll probably be weekly.
Okay, that's all I'm going to say. Please review!
