"Mom, I don't want to go back to college," Angel said walking into the living room.
"Excuse me?" she said glaring at her daughter.
"If I leave now when I come back for a visit you will be gone."
"Angel, you said it yourself. I will always be there beside you. So go in there and finish packing. Don't worry about not seeing me again because you will not get anywhere in life thinking like that," she said hugging her daughter.
Rafe just smiled and looked back down at the newspaper. He knew what she said was completely true, and she would probably have to say those same words to him in two weeks. The time they had got to spend was more fabulous than he could have ever imagined. The kids would now have physical memories of time with their mother.
"Rafe, hello-anyone home?" she said walking up to him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something?"
"Yes, I said I need to go talk to Livvie, and I'll be back soon," she said giving a kiss. "Don't let Angel leave for school before I get back."
"Ok, be careful."
--------------------
"Hey Livvie," she said with a smile.
"Hey. What's up?"
"I just wanted to come by and say hi. Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Sure, let me tell Caleb real quick."
They walked around the grounds for awhile, just chatting about anything and everything. Alison looked at her friend and decided it was time, "You know I have to leave in two weeks right?"
"Yeah. It seems so weird though not having you around again. I was just starting to get used it again," she said smiling. Alison had become a close friend again, and that was what she had been wishing to happen for a long time.
"I was worried I would somehow forget to come by so I decided to come and visit now when I was thinking about it."
"So this is supposed to be goodbye?" she said stopping in mid-step.
"I don't want to think of it as a goodbye, but then you never will end up there with me," she said with a chuckle to try and lighten the mood. "Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for being a good friend. Not just to me, but to the kids and Rafe also. The kids say that you've told them some stories about our friendship, and they were actually good stories."
"It was nothing. I mean I did know you before angels and vampires came in our lives, and so I was able to tell them something else about you."
"You are a good person, Livvie. I know you are on the inside," she said giving a hug. When they pulled out of the hug Livvie stood there looking at her and then in a second where Alison had been standing was air.
--------------------
"Caleb! Caleb!" Livvie said running into the house.
"What's wrong Olivia?"
"She's gone. She's gone."
"Who's gone?"
"Alison. We were talking, and she gave me a hug. We pulled back, and she just disappeared. She wasn't supposed to leave for another two weeks. I can't believe they snatched her up for no reason."
"Listen," he said pulling her close to him. "It's going to be ok. We were expecting this, remember?"
"I've got to tell Rafe. I've got to tell him she was called back early. How can I do that? He's going to hate me," she said, tears starting to fall down her cheeks.
