Chapter 14
~*~ Greg goes home ~*~
"Summer will come sooner then you know it." He said to me as we were waiting for his plane to arrive or be called. The other guys had left the day before and I was still hoping Jesse was ok. See Jesse was really disappointed that I didn't get to go to school with him for at least a year but he got over it soon. The reason I was worried was because he wasn't feeling good when he got on the plane. "Still thinking about Jesse?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be? He's like my little brother."
"Yeah I know. But you have to know he's fine. He just didn't want to leave you. Ya know?"
"Really? He said he was sick."
"Yeah so you wouldn't make him go home." "Ohhh. Now I feel bad." "Don't, Jesse knows you love him. He'll be fine. Just remember to call him tomorrow when you get home from school." "Flight 126 to New York is now boarding." Said the flight announcer. "That's my flight." Greg said standing up. "You seem so happy to be going home." I said still sitting. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up out of the chair. "Do you really have to leave right now?" "Yes. We'll be together sooner then you know it." He said holding me. "Come walk to the gate with me." He said talking my hand. As we walked to the gate all I could think about was what went on that week. "Take me with you." I said stopping. "I would if I could." "No I mean it. Who cares what my parents say." "I do. If you come with me, that's the end of that. I don't want that. Do you?" He asked. "You have the papers, they signed them. It wouldn't matter!" I said happily. "Yeah but your parents are trusting me with these papers. If we go off and use them now, they'll never trust me, or you, again." He said taking the happiness away from me. "Ok, ok. So it was a stupid idea. It was worth a try." I said as he put his carry on luggage through the thingy at the gate. "I'm gonna miss you a lot. You promise to call me on Tuesday's and Thursday's?" "If you promise to call me Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!" I replied. I kissed him good-bye, and he got on the plane. He handed the lady the ticket and turned to me, behind the glass he mouthed 'I love you.' to me. "I love you, too, Greg." It didn't matter that everyone was looking at me at that point. He turned around to get on the plane. I went to a window where I could watch him plane take off. When the door closed and the plane started moving I burst into tears. I couldn't help it, they just came.
