A/N: New Chapter! :D Enjoy! Reviews?
Hanschen
"You're eighteen today," said my mother.
"I know," I said quietly.
I put down the book I was reading. Eighteen. All I could think about was the time that flew by. I suddenly felt sick.
"Excuse me," I said to my mother.
I got up and walked up our old stairs into my bedroom. God, I hated living here. I needed to get out. I grabbed my old schoolbag from the corner of my room. The next thing I knew I was shoving clothes and other miscellaneous objects into my bag. I made up my mind. I was going to leave this place I called "home". I suddenly thought of my parents. What would they think? I didn't matter anymore. I quickly looked around for a piece of paper I could write a note on. I flung open a drawer next to my bed and frantically searched for something to write on. I felt a crumpled piece of paper at the back. I took it out of the drawer and flattened it. What can I tell them? Before I could write my letter, I realized there was something already written on the paper. It was a letter.
"Hanschen,
I trust that Anna was able to get this letter to you safely. I know I can never see you again. But do you really think that moving away solves any of our problems? Why would it matter to you what your parents say? You out of anyone I know would probably be the last person to let something like that stand between you and what you want. I know what you want, Hanschen. Please don't go away. I love you.
Sincerely,
Ernst Robel.
Suddenly, all of the memories came flooding back. The day when my father found out I was much more interested in other things instead of girls. The day when I told poor Ernst I hated him and would never see him again. The day when I received his letter, and never wrote back. The day when I moved away from home, even though he begged me to stay. The years I spent thinking of Ernst, only to find that I would never be with him again. I thought it out. Was it too late? No. He was right. I had to try. I'm going after what I want.
