Almost in a mechanical way I walked to the jeep waiting, and anticipating for him to start yelling and getting all pissed off. I started counting in my head, I counted to five minutes. Then I began to hope that maybe he doesn't want to get mad at me. So I decided to look at the clock, it was 9:32am. So I laid my head against the head rest turned my head to look out the window.
I was so lost in thought. What will the new school be like? Will I make any friends? And if I do will it be with the wrong crowd again? Will he help me with my problems? Will Willow show up at the air port to say good bye or will she hate me? Will I not see her before I leave? It didn't seem like that much time had passed by.
"SO," he sadly said, "I hope that you make new friends. Please try to stay out of trouble."
He had a torn look on his face. I really don't think that he wants me to leave. I have too; I can't handle it any other way. If I didn't leave I would end up in one of several different situations. Well I would try it with Matt for a while. If that didn't work out I would regrettably, go back to Scott. If he would let me. "WOW." I looked at the clock. It was 11:13 am. Wow the time flew by like nothing.
"What?!" he said with alarm in his voice.
"I lost track of time. It felt like I was only looking out the window for about ten minutes not and hour and a half. It took me by surprise." I said guiltily.
"Oh." He said with the disappointment leaking into his voice. "I'll miss you. I was only hard on you because I love you like you were my own kid-" I didn't let him finish.
"I'll miss you too Scott. But I hope you understand why I'm leaving. It's not because of you," well only partly I corrected mentally, "it's to straiten out my life that I messed up. I swear once I have everything straitened out and fixed or close to being fixed I'll come and visit. Me you're welcome to come visit me if you'd like." I said realizing how true this all was. I would visit.
"Well we're almost there only about twenty-five more minutes." It sounded like he was trying to hide the fact that he was sad to see me leave. He was trying to be strong and, trying to make it that much easier for me. "Look I'll make you a deal."
