Not Goodbye … See Ya Later …
Raven walked out of the steam filled bathroom. A towel was draped over her head as she dried her wet hair. She tossed the towel back into the bathroom after she finished with it and walked over to the bed. Kori was still asleep. Raven sighed before turning to the door, she had things to do. She grasped the door's handle, but something crumpled under her foot. She looked down, noticing a white letter. Picking it up, she turned it over to see her name written on it. She opened it.
Dear Raven,
Words cannot express the regret I feel about not meeting you last night. I know that there can be no excuse for my absence, so I hope that you will not hold that against me. Things have not been well with my stepparents. I had to meet with my stepfather last night. Most of the problems he discussed were because of me. Although I love my stepparents as if they were my own family, my stepfather does not see me as the person I should be. He envisions me to follow in his footsteps, to live his future. After, I tried to see you, but …
I hope that you will not think wrong of me for what I have to say, but I saw you and Richard together when I came back. I wanted to see you one last time, but seeing you two … I saw Richard holding your hand and him moving in to kiss you. I couldn't look and had to get away. I'm sorry Raven, it seems that you finally found someone special. I thought about telling you about my future plans, but I believe it would hurt too much for me. I feel deep regret to tell you that I'm leaving … Goodbye Raven …
Love,
Garfield
Raven stared at the note in anguish. She swung the door open and ran through the hallway and down the stairs.
No Gar … it wasn't what you think …
She ran out the dorm building's door and into the plaza. Seeing Gar's dorm building, she quickly made her way to it. She jumped up the stairs and reached Gar's room. Pounded on it, she anxiously waited. After a few seconds, the door opened and Tara stood in its opening.
"Where's Gar?" Raven asked desperately. She had grabbed Tara's arms and stared into her blue eyes. She was shaking. Tara took a second before answering.
"He's gone … I thought he went by your place?"
"He didn't … he just left a note … Tara, you got to tell me where he's gone?!" Raven pleaded to the blonde haired girl. Tara nodded.
"I think he went to the train station … he had a ticket …" Raven thanked her and rushed off. She had to get to the train station, but she didn't know where it was or how she could get there. She slowed her run to a walk as she realized her problem. She was now by the fountain and took sat at its edge.
Gar …
"Hey … you need some help?" Raven turned to find Richard walking up to her. He smiled at her, but Raven couldn't find the emotion to smile back.
"Its-I … Gar …" She whispered to him. Richard put his hand out.
"Come on. We'll go get him back …" He said. Raven looked up at him and gave him her hand. He picked her up off her seat and they made their way to his motorcycle.
Ooo
Richard pulled up to the train station and waited. Raven got off and pulled off her helmet.
"Thanks Richard …" She said to him. Richard nodded.
"Go get 'im Rae …"
Raven ran into the terminal and looked around through the small crowd. There wasn't very many people there, but she still couldn't find him. Hearing the train blow its horn and rushed to the outside to the boarding platform. The crowd hurridly made their way to the passenger cars and through the movement, Raven spotted Gar. She bumped her way through the crowd trying to get to him, but she wasn't get there fast enough. Gar started making his way into the train. Raven felt tears form into her eyes, she had to do something.
"GAR!" Raven shouted to him. The crowd around her moved away. Gar had one foot in the passenger car's opening, but stopped.
"GAR!!!" She cried out again. He looked through the crowd and saw the teary eyed Raven staring back at him. Gar turned around. He pushed his way through the crowd, not knowing if he was imagining her or not. Hearing her sobs, he finally knew whe wasn't his imagination and ran forward to her. He stopped as he was only a foot away from her. He stared into her purple tinted eyes before finally wrapping his arms around her.
"You can't leave … you just can't …" Raven said to him. Tears rolled down her face as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Raven … I'm so sorry …" Gar replied to her. He kissed her smooth neck. Gar wanted to stay so badly. "I can't Raven … I joined the army … It was my father's wish …"
Raven lifted her head and looked into his green eyes. She studied his face, understanding that this was something he had to do to gain his stepfather's approval. "I'll wait for you …" She said before she kissed him.
"But what about Richard?" He asked her after. Raven put her hand on his cheek.
"There was never anything between us … I've finally realized … that you were the one I love …" She said. Gar held her tightly again. He never wanted to let her go.
"I love you Raven …" Gar told her. He wanted to let her know how he felt as well. They stayed there for a minute, before the train horn blew again. The conductor walking down the platform yelled for everyone to get aboard. Raven backed away from Gar.
"Then Gar … this isn't goodbye … it's see ya later …" Gar nodded at Raven's words. He would make sure he would be back for her.
"I love you Raven …" He said again. They kissed before he finally made his way to the train. Gar stayed in the opening as the train slowly started to move. He stared at Raven while she stared back at him. The train moved along more quickly and soon, it was gone, along with Gar. Raven walked to the bench and sat down. She stared at the empty terminal.
"Don't worry, you'll see him again …" Raven heard Richard as he paced up the platform.
"I know …" She mumbled to him as she wiped away her tears.
"Come on, let's go home …"
Ooo
