Dear Diary

Chapter One

6:13 pm, Saturday night

Dear Diary,

The worst thing happened today! My boyfriend Tai told me his family is moving to America because of his dad's job. Mr Kaimya has to take the job transfer or else he'd be fired! Tai and Kari don't want to leave Obadiah but they have to be supportive of their dad.

Here's some more bad news: they're leaving next week. Tai and I only have one week left. I swear, I can hear the clock ticking loudly, diary. It's so heartless. One lousy week. We won't even spend a lot of time together. He has to juggle exams, hanging with our friends, soccer practice and hanging out with me. I don't know how I'll cope without him...

"I can't believe your leaving in two days, Tai," I sobbed. "Two days!"

Tai held me close to him. Yolei had planned a party for Tai and Kari and we had snuck out to get some private time. "Sora stop it," he begged. "Don't let this be harder. I can't get by without you."

"You'll be all right," I said. "America will feel like home in no time."

"America will never be home," Tai said, shaking his head. "Not if your not there, Sora." He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a love-heart shaped locket. He handed it to me.

"Tai," I gasped. "It's beautiful."

"It's not much," he mumbled. "You don't have to put a picture of me in it either. It's just something to remember me by."

"Tai," I whispered. "I could never forget you."

Tai gulped. "And I want you to know... that it's all right for you if you want to, you know, date other guys," he said hesitantly.

I looked up at him in surprise. "It is?" I said.

"Sure," Tai said trying to smile. "I mean, you can't wait for me forever and maybe one day dad will get transferred back but... in the mean time..."

"I don't want to date other guys!" I cried. "I'll only love you Tai!"

Tai looked relieved. "And I'll never love another girl like you Sora," he promised. "And we'll be together again someday."

"Someday," I repeated. "We'll be together."

3:15 pm, Monday afternoon

Diary,

I just got back from the Kamiya household. I thought I could pretend to act brave and stay cool while I said goodbye... but when the moment came, I just fell apart...

I watched from the Kamiya's porch Tai, Kari and their parents, pack their luggage into their car. I must have looked pretty pathetic because finally, Mr Kamiya told Tai to spend the last ten minutes with me instead of with the luggage.

Tai and I walked to the back of the house where I burst into tears. "You can't leave Tai," I said. "Not now."

Tai looked at me with his brown eyes. "I don't want to leave you Sora," he whispered.

We stood their for a while just holding each other.

"Tai," Kari's voice called. "We have to go."

Tai brushed his lips against mine in a soft kiss. "Go on home," he said. "I can't leave if your still here."

Tai climbed into the car. I hugged Kari goodbye. They both promised to call when they got to America. Mr Kamiya started the car.

"Have a good flight Mr and Mrs. Kamiya," I called.

"Goodbye Sora dear," Mrs. Kamiya replied.

"See you Sora," Kari called.

Tai waved at me. We'd already said our goodbyes. I watched their car pull out of their driveway and down the street. I stared after the car until it rounded the corner.

"Goodbye Tai," I whispered. "Good bye."
