Let Go

Chapter One

Goodbye

I booked a flight those years ago,

Said I'd miss you as I left you

Regrets still haunt this hallow head

But I promise you I will see you again..

Tegal Airport, Berlin, Germany

2002

A twelve-year old girl stood in the midst of a bustling airport, the area filled with the sound of muttering voices and shuffling footsteps of passengers with neatly-packed bags, scrambling through the building passed janitors and flight attendants. The girl bit her lip nervously, smoothing out her short black hair as she stared down the flight-schedule like a score board, before directing her sad, steely gray eyes back to the boy standing in font of her, his onyx hair spiked up and his brown eyes lined with black. She then took a step forward, leaning in so she could pull him into an embrace.

"Well," She breathed out in a sigh, pulling away from, "I guess... This is goodbye," She said slowly, almost as if she had to force the words to be spoken.

"Yeah, I guess so," The black haired boy replied to her, looking down. "I'm really gonna miss you, you know.." He said a bit melancholy.

"I'm also going to miss you, Bill," Her eyes slightly watered as she said this, realizing that this was really happening. That this moment really was the last time she might ever see him, the last memory she would get to make with her friends. The boy standing in front of her saw the tears welling up, and immediately knew what she was thinking, as if he could read her thoughts.

"But, hey, it's not like this is the end. We'll see each other again one day, right?" He said, forcing a large smile on his face in an effort to lighten the mood. She looked up at him, and seeing his smile, she couldn't help but grin back, the liquid that once filled her eyes suddenly subsiding.

"Yeah... You're right," She spoke slowly. "And besides, Gustav still owes me five bucks," She added, looking towards the blonde haired boy with an annoyed expression. He shrugged, a sheepish grin on his lips,

"I think you're gonna have to wait a little longer," He commented.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I don't care if it's years from now. I'm getting that five bucks, Even if I have to hunt you down like a dog!" She said with a suddenly determined look on her face, and the others couldn't help but either laugh or snicker, amused by her drastic mood swings. She just ignored them and instead took a few steps closer to a boy with messy dreads, baggy clothes, and the same brown eyes as Bill and threw her arms around him, pulling him into a hug.

"Bye, Tomi. Make sure to roll the bottom of your pants up, or wear shorts the next time you pull a prank so you don't end up falling while trying to run away, and then get busted!" She said in a cheerful voice before letting him go. He rolled his eyes while scoffing in reply.

"Oh, come on! That was one time!" He argued.

"It was only once because after that, I made you pull your pants up more and wear a belt while doing pranks, so you don't trip and get caught!" She pointed out, smiling in a teasing manner.

"She's right," A boy with slightly long and wavy brown hair said.

"Oh shut up, Georg!" Tom demanded and crossed his arms.

"I agree with Georg. I am right," She commented before quickly hugging Georg, "Bye, Georg! Thanks' for all the times you said I was right!"

"No problem," He replied. Suddenly, someone started calling out the girl's name from a few feet away, catching her attention..

"Victoria! Come on, We have to leave soon!" A dark brown haired woman said with a man standing beside her carrying a couple bags of luggage in his hands.

"Okay, mom! I'll be there in a second," She called back to her awaiting parents before turning to the others.

"Sorry. I have to go now... " She rolled her eyes, "Welp, bye, Gusti! I'm gonna miss you," She gave him a tight hug.

"Yeah, me too. Bye, Tori," He replied, calling her by her nick-name. They pulled away from each other and she sighed, some of the bitter sadness welling back up inside of her as she forced herself to turn away from them, walking back to her parents, picking up her bags, and heading for the security lines.

As she stopped at the end of the line, she glanced back at her friends, taking one last look at them before she was gone. They all smiled and waved at her, and she returned the gesture, raising her hand and waving back with a large grin on her face. And then the four boys turned away from her, and began to leave the air-port. She let her smile slowly fade away as she watched them, Her mind filling with all the times they spent together, and everything they went through. A feeling of loss suddenly tugged at her heart from the memories, and she couldn't help but stare at the floor with sullen eyes.

Her parents had said that moving to America would be exciting, and that this was a chance for new friends. But it wasn't exciting at all. The whole situation was just depressing. And she didn't want new friends. She didn't need new ones.

All she needed were her current ones. But whether she liked it or not, this was the end.

She then bit her lip, squeezing the handle of her small bag as she pushed away this thought. She couldn't let herself think that. Even if they were thousands of miles away, they would still be friends. Nothing could change that. And right then and there, she made a promise to herself. A promise that she would come back to Germany one day, and be with her friends again. And everything will go back to how it used to be. She was sure of it.

Too bad things never go as planned…
