Don't go breaking my heart (Sir Elton John)
She stood beside the car several suitcases surrounding her. She looked up as she saw a figure hurrying towards her. She dropped her bags and ran over. 'Ethan, I'm so sorry' she cried pulling him into a hug. Ethan ran his hands down her back rocking her in his arms slightly. She buried her head into his shoulder taking in the smell of his aftershave. He hugged her tightly not wanting to let her go. Eventually he had no choice. She started walking back towards the car where her bags had been packed into the back.
'Wait! Emily!' He shouted rushing towards her. He took a small box out of his pocket and opened it, a small silver bracelet was nestled on a small satin pillow. 'I want you to have this, so you can remember how much I love you' he whispered putting the bracelet on her wrist.
'Oh Ethan I love it, I won't ever forget you, please come and visit me' she breathed.
'Definitely, I will make sure I come and see you, don't forget to write to me, I want to hear everything you get up to' Ethan smiled kissing her gently. She held his hands tightly, trying to hold back her tears. He handed her a handkerchief.
'Don't cry sweetheart' he whispered. She wiped her eyes her bottom lip trembling as she composed herself.
'I don't want to go' she cried holding him.
'But you must, I'll come and visit, and we'll write everyday' Ethan assured her. Cal suddenly appeared looking distraught, his face was red and blotchy, he looked like he had been crying.
'Oh Cal' Emily whispered bringing him into the embrace. She had to stand on her tiptoes to hug the pair due to her short stature. Cal wrapped his arms around the pair protectively. All of them were crying. A car horn sounded signalling that she needed to go. Emily stepped back looking at the brothers stood side by side.
'I guess this is it' Emily whispered composing herself. Ethan held her hand and kissed it. She pulled him close, kissing him passionately. Cal gave her a quick hug.
'Look after yourself and keep in touch' he told her before letting her go. As the car pulled away Ethan crumpled into a sobbing mess.
'It's alright Ethan, don't cry, you can keep in touch' Cal assured him although everything he said sounded hollow. Meanwhile Emily sat in the car, curled up and sobbing. She couldn't bear the fact that she was leaving her boyfriend and best friend. She didn't know how she would manage but Hong Kong was miles away and she didn't want to go. Why were her parents making her go? She had been happy at school whilst they lived overseas, she had enjoyed her independence but now that was gone.
She turned back to see Cal cradling a distraught Ethan trying to hold back his own tears. She leant out of the window. 'Ethan! I love you!' She shouted as loud as she could. She knew he had heard because he lifted his head and smiled.
'I love you too' he called out as the car turned the corner.
