Chapter 3
"Well, Kai, looks like this is good bye." I look down at the shorted man in front of me. He looks so sad, and he has every right to be... but, this isn't really goodbye."This isn't goodbye; I'll find a way to see you." I smile at him and he smiles a little and then frowns. I sigh knowing he doesn't believe me. "Come on, do you think I'm gonna have a long distance relationship and not even try to keep it working?"
"Well...no...But, it's gonna be pretty hard." He looks at me and I can tell he is really hurting. Why did he agree to go out with me if he thinks this isn't going to work?
"Rei... we'll make it work." I grab his chin and force him to look at me, he looked like he was about to cry. I smile at him and gave him a peck on the lips. He smiles slowly and a faint pink color floods his face. "You gonna be alright?"
He nods, "yea." I smile at him; I see his mom walk out of his house and walks toward the moving car. "What are you gonna do now?"
"What'd you mean?" I ask him.
"Well... it's 4 A.M., what are you gonna do after I leave?" He asks me with a smile. I shrug, it doesn't really matter.
"I dunno... maybe sit here and rot?" He laughs and looks toward the car. "I guess you got to go?" He looks at me and nods.
"Yea... well, you have my number...," he looks down.
"Well, obviously... had before we were dating." I laugh at him and he glares at me.
"Well...sorry!"
"I'm just kidding!" He smirks and pulls me into a hug. After the shock of being pulled so hard finally passed, I finally wrapped my arms around him. "I'm going to miss you, but don't worry I'll call you everyday."
"I'm going to miss you too... and I expect these phone calls." I laugh and hug him tighter before pulling away. We could kiss since his mom was looking out the window yelling for Rei to hurry up. We just smiled at each other and I watched him leave. As the car pulled away, I sighed and watched it leave.
"So... now what?" I mumble to myself. Then a thought struck me, "No one else knew he was leaving... oops." I sigh and sit on the curb with my head down. It was going to take a while before I felt better. I didn't realize I would miss him this much. It was going to be a long day.
"Kai!" I looked up at the sound of someone saying my name. I saw a blur of blue and red before I hit the ground. When I finally saw who it was, I felt hatred rise up. "Hey, bud!"
"Tyson." I say dully, it wasn't that I hated Tyson; it's just that he is so annoying. He offer's his hand, but I swat it away and stand up. Brushing myself off I turn back to my locker.
"Where's Rei? He wasn't at his locker." My arm stops half way into my locker, how do I tell him? "Kai? Dude, you ok?"
I sigh, "Tyson, Rei left." There... it was done.
"What do you mean?" I groan, leave it to Tyson to be an idiot.
"He moved away this morning." There, if he doesn't get it now, then I am going to get him some professional help. I look at Tyson's face and he is looking rather stupid.
"When is he coming back?"
"I don't think he is ever coming back." I run a hand through my hair and close my locker. "He's just...gone...ok?"
"Why... why didn't he tell me?" I look at him, he looks really upset.
"He didn't tell anyone but me." I lean against the lockers and Tyson starts to pace around and stops, then looks at me.
"Now what?" Second time someone asked me that today, I don't have answers. Before I could answer, Max bounds towards us, a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Hey!" He stops and smiles some more. Talk about sugar high. His smile starts to turn upside down as he sees the looks on me and Tyson's face. "What's the matter?"
"Rei left, and didn't tell any of us but Kai, and he is never coming back." I look at Tyson and smack him in the arm. He should know Max better than everyone, that's going to kill him inside.
"WHAT!?" Max yells and his eyes glaze over with fresh tears. The waterworks will start now. "Why did h-he leave!" Max all but whispers and looks at me with the tears falling freely now.
"His mom found a boyfriend, so she decided to move." I look away; I couldn't stand to see other's cry. I hear Tyson telling Max that everything was going to be okay. Which it would be, in time.
With all this commotion going on, I didn't even hear the bell ring. Not that it mattered; I wasn't planning on going to my classes today. Some things are just more important.
I walked for what seemed like hours and wound up in the park I used to go to with Rei, back when we were little. I sat down on the swing and swayed back and fourth a little.
"Rei...," I look down, I felt like crying. Why wasn't I this emotional when he was leaving? Did it just hit me that I would never see him again? I'm sure I will though, four hours isn't that far. I just sigh, and then I noticed that I am crying, "What now?"
An hour later I found myself walking up with stairs to my grandfather's house. He wasn't home, and good thing. He didn't like the idea of boy's crying, but at this point in time, I didn't care. I walked into my room and fell onto my bed. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, I found Rei's number and just stared at it. I felt myself slowly starting to drift away as sleep took over.
"Rei..."
I woke up hours later, and it was dark out. I looked at the phone in my hand and pressed a button so it would light up again. 8:00 P.M. I groaned and pulled myself up and sat on my bed. Stretching, I stood up and walked into my conjoined bathroom and stared at my face. I looked a mess; my eyes were bloodshot and puffy. Was I crying in my sleep?
I walked out of there and went back to my bed, grabbing my phone once more and finding Rei's number, I frowned. He's there by now...right? Putting all doubt aside, I pressed the call button. I listened to the dull dial tone.
"Hello?" I smile at the tired voice on the other end
"Sleeping?" I ask and lay back down on my bad.
"Haha, yea... sorry... what's up?"
"Nothing just woke up." I rub the back of my neck and smile again.
"Oh did you now? I don't feel as bad then."
"Well, you should. How is it over there?" I ask him, I really wanted to ask if he misses me.
"It's...not home." I frown a little, he sounded so sad. "But, that's okay. I'll be home someday."
"Yea you will be... I'll make sure of it."
"That's good... I miss you," there was a slight pause, "and everyone else I guess."
I laugh, "They took it pretty hard... Max cried forever," pause, "I miss you too."
"Poor Maxie, Well... oh, I gotta go."
"Okay... I'll call you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow will be good, I need tonight to unpack."
"Ok, so I will talk to you tomorrow, bye!" I smile at the grunt noise he made.
"Bye!" He mocked my 'bye' and laughed, "I'll talk to you later."
I hung up after he finally hung up. Things would be ok, I know it.
Well, that was chapter 3!! Horrible? Yes! Hurried? Oh yea... but, I guess it wasn't so bad, I don't like phone conversations, they BORE me. But, oh well. Review! Thanks!!
