Thank you so much for the reviews!!!! I think I will end this story with this chapter, so it will be a long one. Thanks for all that said it was sad, it was intended to be that way lol. Anyways, onto the story and please review, for the last time, until the sequel comes!

--Their final goodbyes—

It was a beautiful Christmas Eve for all of the teens. Because Amira would be leaving the next day, they had decided to have the feast a day early. Since Max had gotten homesick for a little while, they all decided to have an American style feast. They had the delicious turkey, and had mashed potatoes, with all of the vegetables as well.

"Wow, this stuff is really good." Max squealed. "Just like home."

"Well I'm glad you like it Max. We have these types of feasts at home too." Amira smiled, passing the mashed potatoes, to a very hungry Tyson.

"I love the asparagus." Rei exclaimed, stuffing several into his mouth at once. Amira smiled at this and continued to eat. All of her friends were enjoying this North American Christmas feast, which made her very happy.

"I cannot wait to open presents! I can't wait for tomorrow!" Hilary jumped out of her seat, not being able to contain her excitement. Her friends stared at her wide-eyed, but were all grinning in the end. After a while Hilary sat back down. "Pass the eggnog?"

Everyone, fidgeted for a little bit, but Kai passed the eggnog to the excited brunette with a smirk.

"Wow Kai, I don't think I have ever seen you smirk like that." Tyson squeaked from the end of the table, a big grin on his face. "What's going on anyways?" Both Kai and Amira blushed furiously, but all the teens burst out laughing to ease the tension.

All of the teens were very full after the meal, so they had decided to go to sleep early, so they could open their presents as soon as they would wake up. As they were leaving the dining room, Kai caught Amira by the arm to stop her.

"Kai? What.." her sentence was broken as she found herself in a tight hug with the young Russian. She hugged back as tight as she could, and sighed.

"Amira, you mean so much to me. I have finally found someone whom I can love, and now you leave."

"I know Kai, it was never meant to be this way. I'm sorry." She looked up, only to find Kai staring at her. When she looked in the mirror, she found that she was all red in the face, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"You don't need to cry for me. You have brought so much happiness into my life. I just don't know what I would do without you." He slowly hugged her tightly, one last time. After a while, he placed his lips on hers and went in for a passionate kiss. After a while, he stopped once again. "Don't ever forget me."

"I will never forget you. I swear to never love anyone else. Only you."

"But you know that it will never work. Long distant relationships never do. I will allow you to date, but promise to never forget me." He let her head rest on his chest before he continued. "I have something else for you."

He brought out from his pocket, another velvet case. This time, it was slightly smaller. Amira gasped in surprise.

"Kai, you already gave me such a nice necklace and earrings. What is it now?"

"Just a little something to remind you of me." As he opened the case, there was a ring in the middle, with the stone that was exactly the colour of Kai's hair. "Do you like it?"

"Oh Kai! I love it. Thank you." She quickly hugged him again, this time not letting him go.

"It's just a little token of our love. Just don't forget alright?"

"I'll never forget, not ever." And with that, their love was sealed with a kiss goodnight, as the two, left for their separate beds.

Amira woke with a start, and too early than expected; 5am. She groaned as she quickly got up, trying not to wake Hilary. She tiptoed slowly out of the room, in search of any clothes that she might have left lying around. She found nothing, so she returned to her room, to find her suitcase. She fished through it, found all the jewellery that Kai had given her, and put it on. She slowly walked to the front door.

She picked up the phone, and called the Taxi service.

"Hello?" the man on the other line answered.

"Hi. I'm-I'm here to call for a taxi. To-to dive me to the airport please." She choked on the words she was saying. She had no clue why, but when she mentioned leaving, or the airport, her eyes would swell up, and she would start crying. She didn't want the man to worry about her though.

"Is everything alright?" the man asked, full of concern for her.

"Yes, I'm fine now, thank you." At least she didn't choke on those words.

"What time would you like to have the taxi come pick you up miss?"

"As soon as possible, please."

"Alright, if I can just have your address." Amira quickly gave him the directions and waiting for a reply. Finally he said, "Well, we will be there shortly to pick you up. Merry Christmas, miss."

"Yeah, sure, Merry Christmas." And with that, she slammed the phone done. She looked around, hoping that no one had heard the slam of the phone. She slid down the wall and sat on the floor beside the door. She rested her head in her palms and sobbed a bit. She noticed that there was a little notepad and a pencil by the door. She quickly grabbed it, and scribbled a note. It read:

Dear Kai,

I'm so sorry that I have left without saying a proper goodbye, and it pains me for doing it. But I couldn't stand leaving everyone, when they would be all awake. I

would just completely lose it, and have a meltdown. It would break my heart to see you in our final moments together, so I think this way would be best instead. That ring you gave me, I swear to never take it off. When I finish high school, I swear I will come back for you. We can call, or write letters, or whatever you want. I want you to know that this departure completely breaks my heart and that I would never love another, only you Kai. Best wishes to you in the future.

Your love,

Amira xoxoxoxoxox

With the letter, Amira made her way over to the guy's bedroom. She crept in, and made her way over to her love's bed. He was still there, sleeping soundly. She sighed, and pressed the letter onto his chest. He didn't move, Amira was thankful for this. She noticed that she was crying again, because a single tear had dropped onto his tanned, muscled arms. She leant down, and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Kai stirred a bit, but wasn't woken up by this gesture. Amira got to her feet and quickly left the room, in search of a tissue.

Time seemed to go by really slowly after that moment. Amira found herself sitting by the front door, suitcase in hand, waiting anxiously for the taxi to arrive. She wanted it to come faster, so she wouldn't have to wait around for her friends to wake up. She didn't want to have another tear-jerking moment with them all. She wanted them all to wake up, and find her gone.

Finally, the taxi had arrived, and honked once to get the young girl's attention. She quickly got up, and opened the door as quietly as she could. She slowly walked down the front steps, eyeing the man that got out of the taxi, to help her with her luggage.

"You're Amira right? You're here to be driven to airport?" the man asked in a gruff voice, shivering quite a bit.

"Yes-yes I am." She replied, handing the suitcase to the man, who made his way to the trunk of the taxi.

"AMIRA!" she quickly turned around to see Kai, standing on the front steps, in a muscle shirt, his boxers and of course, socks.

"Kai…" Amira whispered, with a dazed look on her face. Why did he have to wake up? Why now? Next thing she knew, Kai had run across from the steps, over the snow, and was now hugging her tightly.

"I realized one thing." He said briskly.

"What?" Amira muffled, considering she was kind of squished at the moment.

"I realized, that I don't want to lose you. Please don't go Amira. You're tearing me up inside." He hugged her tighter, so that she couldn't breathe.

Amira was stunned. Now the waterworks had come. Come to think of it, they were both in tears, but didn't notice it. The man with the taxi broke the connection.

"Miss? I have a tight schedule and I can't have any delays." He said briskly, waiting by the door of the car.

"Just one more minute." She begged, and then turned back to the love of her life. "Kai, I'm sorry, but I have to go back. I promise I will come back for you. I promise Kai." She pulled away, still holding his hand. He wouldn't let go though, no matter how had the young girl tried to lose his grip. "Did you get my note?"

"I did." He said sadly, still not letting go. With one thrust, he pulled the young girl against his chest and place one gigantic passionate kiss on her lips, hopefully not for the last time. "I will miss you so much, my love."

"I know." And with that, he finally let go of her hand, and she walked over to the taxi. She turned around, and saw him staring at her, right in the eyes. Those eyes of his were full of so much sadness, yet there was hope. Amira smiled as she got into the car and rolled down the window. Kai quickly ran up to her.

"Never forget." He said, for the last time placing a kiss on her lips.

"Never will I forget what we have." With that, she rolled up the window and placed her hand on the window, Kai doing the same. He finally let go when the car started to move. Amira looked back, all teared up, as the car moved along, leaving Kai in the dust, but hopefully not forever.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
