Saying Goodbye Forever


Charity woke up, jumped out of bed, ran out of her room and down to the bathroom. Minutes later she opened the door and walked downstairs where she heard voices, knowing that it was the rest of the family.

"Charity, sweetheart you look so pale. Are you okay?" Grace felt her forehead as she came downstairs into the kitchen.

"Yeah know, I really don't feel very good Aunt Grace" Charity said in a soft tone.

"Oh, okay Charity, then Jessica will take you upstairs and you go back to bed." Grace hugged her niece gently

"Oh no!" Charity whined "I'm suppose to walk to school with Miguel today though..."

" Don't worry Charity!" Kay jumped up and put her two cents into the conversation. "I'll walk with him" She smiled taking a bite of her toast.

"Thanks Kay" Charity tried to smile even though her voice was so sad sounding. She had wanted to see Miguel and walked with him to school.

After Charity went up the stairs with Jessica, the phone rang. Kay raced for the phone knowing that it would be Miguel calling to tell Charity, he would meet her at the house in a few minutes.

"Hey Miguel!" Kay answered cheerfully.

"Mornin' Kay... Where's Charity?" he couldn't wait to her his girlfriend beautiful voice.

"Ah, sorry Miguel, but Charity isn't going to be in school today. She's not feeling the best today, don't worry its just a bug though, nothing serious." She tried to reassure him ' I wish it were something big though, so that Miguel could be all mine!' She thought to herself.

"Okay well then I guess I'll come stop by and see her then". He wanted to make sure that she was okay.

Kay's anger grew. She knew that if he came over, he would stay home with Charity and not leave her side. "Miguel... she's sleeping, its not a good idea."

"Alright Kay" he sighed, " I'll meet you half way then"

Kay was so angry. Just because Charity wasn't going today with him he could come by and get her at her house. 'This sucks majorly' Kay thought. "Oh yeah sure Miguel. I'll see you in a few then"

Miguel hung up the phone worried that Charity wasn't okay. "Kay even said that she would be fine." He tried to reassure himself. He grabbed his bag and left his house and started down the road.

Charity back at home couldn't sleep. She walked over to her window and saw Kay head off. She let out a soft sigh. Oh how she wanted to be walking with Miguel. To feel his hand in hers; their fingers interlocked. She wanted to see his warm, gentle smile as he approached her house every morning. Suddenly the icky feeling came back to her as she got up and ran to the bathroom.

Meanwhile next door, Tabitha watched as Kay headed off. She was shocked when she didn't see the whiny, blonde, pale- faced, brat not with her.

"Tabby, where's Timmy's sweet Charity this morning?" Timmy looked at her curiously.

"I don't know Tim-Tim. Maybe she died!" She cackled.

"Tabby!" Timmy exclaimed, "How can you say something so horrible?"

"Because you block head! I'm a witch! I'm not nice and sickeningly sweet like Charity!"

"Charity's too good to have anything bad happen to her again." He protested.

"Timmy, Tabitha isn't so far off in what she has said" A soft familiar voice replied to the duo.

Miguel stood at the sign and saw Kay approaching him. "Hey Kay" He tried to sound cheery. He missed Charity though, and after that dream of his, he really wished he could see her.

"Hey you" Kay had a huge smile across her face. "Lets get going.." She took his hand and started walking with him.

"Oh no..." He sighed, "Kay, I forgot my Chemistry book, you go on, I gotta run back and grab it."

"Oh I'll come with you Mig-" She was cut off

"No Kay, we shouldn't both be late. You go, I have to grab it."

"Alright see you there then" She kissed him on the cheek and walked off.

As she walked off he stood there feeling bad. He had just lied to Kay but there was something wrong with Charity, he could feel it. He could almost feel her heart beating, like they were one. "I'm coming Charity, I love you..."
