"Alright, alright. Look as much fun as this is, we really need to get going" Luke reminded the group of laughing friends around him.

" Okay, well, what time are we supposed to meet the others again" Riley asked.

" Um..." Luke looked around for a clock before responding quietly " About ten minutes ago".

" WHAT" The other three exclaimed.

" Yeah...So, you know, if you two will go get dressed" he said pointing to Michael and Maya " Then me and Riley will get this stuff set up. Now go"

Michael and Maya bolted from the room, Michael to the bathroom to freshen up and grab the emergency clothes he had stashed under the sink and Maya into the bedroom.

Maya grabbed some jeans and t-shirt while trying to hurry and do her hair at the same time. It didn't always work but, right now she didn't have much of a choice. If she didn't finish in time then Riley would just bust into the room and drag her out in whatever she was wearing, appropriate for the occasion or not. Yeah, it would definitely be better to just rush it.

Michael splashed some water on his face threw on black jeans and the white shirt he had and brushed his hair before walking out to the kitchen. He was surprised to find everything put away and the kitchen empty of the two people who were supposed to be there. He was turning to look for them when he crashed into something. Realizing it was Maya, he reached out to steady before stopping and admiring the girl he had come to love over these last weeks. He remembered a conversation he and Luke had a while back about when it was time for them to leave. Luke had told him about being scared to tell Riley because he didn't want to break her heart or upset her. At the time, Michael hadn't thought to much about it but now, standing in front of the girl that he so loved, he was starting to understand. It was really hard. Every time he went to tell Maya about having to leave so soon he found himself unable to. It's like, he completely forgets how to talk.

"Are you okay" she asked, looking up at him with her beautiful eyes.

" Yeah" he sighed " I'm fine".

He grabbed her hand and started toward the living room calling Luke. Of course, when he did find him, he got more than he had prepared for. He stepped in to see a sobbing Riley held by Luke who was trying to comfort her. No one said anything but Luke gave Michael the signal to take Maya and leave.

" Hey, it's okay baby. I-" Luke started, finding it hard to finish.

What should he say to his girlfriend who was upset about him leaving because she was scared he was going to leave soon and she would never see him again. What could he say? He couldn't tell her that he wouldn't leave because, eventually, he would have to. Would he stop loving her? Would he forget about her? No way! He couldn't if he wanted to. But, he had to face the fact that he would have to leave, and soon. Should he tell her? No, he decided, he would just enjoy the time they had left.

" Riley, we really need to go" he whispered in her ear.

"O-okay" she stuttered as she got up.

He hated the tears trickling down her beautiful face. He really hated that he was the reason for them. He put one hand around her arm to hold her in place and used his other hand to gently wipe away her tears before giving her a quick kiss.

" I'm going to go put a different shirt on" she mumbled looking down at her tear stained shirt.

As she walked away, he watched her. He watched every step. And with every step, he felt a new crack form in his heart. He sat down on the couch, alone, as a single silent tear rolled down his cheek. He heard her coming, though, and wiped it away before standing again. When she appeared, he grabbed her hand and they set off to the mall.

Okay, I can only come up with one thing after that...Awww! lol! Until next time,
