Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 5 – Leaving For Paradise (in song fiction mode for effect)

John and Holly were walking down the posh road where John lived. He was being unusually quiet and fidgety. He was hiding his face, if Holly had seen it…it would have been covered in tears. They arrived at his house and John found Holly's hand. She gasped, however many times she saw his house it still looked amazing compared to the orphanage were she lived…

John heard the sound of a small plane and a shout.

"John? Your late! I said we would leave earlier than this!"

John raised his head and looked at Holly, she felt helpless as she looked at it…red and wet. His voice broke and shook as he confronted her.

'In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms'

"I'm so sorry Holly….i know its short notice I…I didn't want to believe it was happening…" She was confused and squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"Its ok Johnny…" she used his pet name and he smiled tearfully.

"I never wanted you to find out like this…"


And there ain't no way-
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way-
and there ain't not how
I'll never see that day...

"I'm sorry…" he hugged her tightly. "…My family are moving….after…after my mother died, we thought it was for the best" he didn't mention his father's plans for 'International Rescue'.

And as he uttered those words…her heart broke. She whispered hesitantly "to where?...will-will I ever see you again?" and she cried.

'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face—always

"I'm truly sorry…its an island" He gulped as he heard another shout.

She sighed shakily and pulled away from the hug. He kept his arms around her though.

And they kissed…

In your heart-I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

The shout again, getting impatient.

They drew away from each other and he wiped her eyes. "Never forget me John…please" she whimpered softly as she hugged him again.

"I could never forget you my darling…and I swear on us…I will find you again…"

And there ain't no way-
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't now way-
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...

"I love you, forever…"

"I love you too…for longer than eternity"

"You had better go..." She took a step away from him and smiled tearfully.

He walked backwards away from her….and blew her several kisses. He ran away.

'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face—always

Several minites later, a small plane took off. And a girl, standing in front of a big house with a 'For Sale' sign on it sighed and put her hands over her heart. Her skirt flowed in the wind. She whispered to the air… "Always, and Forever" before turning…and walking out of the gates.

I'll never see that day...

So…what did you think? cries


there is a sequel…set several years later…. Coming soon.
