Chip zipped up his bag and sighed softly. He glanced over at the clock. Ten more minutes until he had to go. He started moving around in the chair. He glanced up the stairs…the doors…everywhere. He glanced around at the clock again. Five more minutes before he had to leave. He glanced up the stairs one last time. It looked liked they won't come down to say good bye to him. His throat tightened slightly. He wasn't important to them anymore. Their angry for each other was. No matter what he said or do. They won't listen. They can't listen. They are blinded.
Daggeron always said that his knight training would make him wiser.
He didn't think it would make him this wise.
He was hoping his all new wisdom would fix the problems between Vida and Xander. "You shouldn't have left it in the cd player, Vee." "It is my CD player, Xander!" "IT is in the living room! Neutral ground! None of your equipment should be in there." "Now, you are telling where to put my stuff?!" "No, I am telling you that you shouldn't leave your stuff around."
"You idiot…you erased my work. Do you know how many hours I spend on it?"
Funny thing, he didn't know when it started. He closed his eyes. Rock Poruim was highly successful. They even opened a new store. Vida's music was really catching on in the clubs. Maybe, it is the stress of success. Maybe, he is just making excuses up for something he can't fix.
He took a deep breathe and opened his eyes again. His eyes glanced at the clock.
Five more minutes before he had to leave. A part of him was sad that they weren't here to see him off. Another part of him was happy. He didn't want to deal with their explosive fights, the angry words, and cold stares at each other. No matter how much he tried to show them that they are both wrong. They just turned their angry on him. It doesn't change a thing. Maybe, it is a good thing he was leaving. Suddenly, his mouth became dry.
He didn't want to leave like this.
"Are you coming to see me off tomorrow, Vee?" "Sure…if you can wake me up and Xander isn't there."
He sighed.
"Pleeeasee…Xander, can't you see me off tomorrow? "Sooo not a morning person, love. I'm not coming if Vee is there."
He looked around the house one more time. This was his home…he was going to miss it. He had so many good memories despite what is going on. He sighed as he set his good-bye letter on the table. All they have worked for has turned to ash. He picked up his pack and threw it onto his shoulder. He walked across the living room to the door.
Maybe, they could be friends when he got back. Their relationship was wonderful…but at this point, that would be asking for a miracle. Right now, he would give anything for them to be friends.
"I'm going to miss you guys…love you both. Wish me luck…good bye." He said as he opened the door and stepped outside.
When he closed the door, he could have sworn that his heart crumbled there too.
