Once & Always

Chapter 2

"I don't know what to say" Melissa said.

"Just say you'll wear it forever"

Melissa nodded. They kissed again and hugged after.

"I'm gonna go home, ok?"

"Yeah, I was going to go to bed soon anyway"

"Bye" he kissed her on the cheek & walked out of the room, down the stairs & into his car.

As he drove away he beeped the horn and waved out of the window at Mel, who was looking out the house window from her room, she blew a kiss at him and closed the windows and blind.

She closed her door and dressed into her pj's. She got in to bed but didn't read tonight.

The next day…

It was 3:00pm & the day had come that Mel moved, she was packing the last things in her room, like photos, a few books & a few DVD's. Jackson was outside Mel's house to say good-bye.

Melissa came outside and gave the last box to the man packing the boxes in the truck that goes to the airport, and then she walked to the car where Jackson was going to say good-bye.

"Mel, why do you have to leave me here with Taylor trying to take me from you" Jackson was really upset.

"Well, my dad got a job offer from his business to go to Australia and sell houses"

"Why can't you come stay with me until, I don't know, find house that you can rent & live in?" Jackson asked.

"My mum & dad wouldn't like it if I stayed with a boy"

"Yeah that's like them to say that" Jackson said like it was one word.

Mel laughed softly, and she had forgotten that she was moving.

"You know, I'm really gonna miss your laugh's" Jackson said.

"I'm not trying to be mean to be mean, but, I had just gotten off my mind"

"Oh, sorry"

"Melissa, time to go to the airport, the plane leaves at 5:00pm, and it's…" Mel's mum looked at her watch, "3:10pm"

Jackson saw Mel's eyes fill with tears.

"Hey, I'll always be with you, well the bracelet from me will always be with you" Jackson said.

She laughed through her tears.

"I'll e-mail you everyday" Jackson said.

Mel nodded, then sniffled.

"Do you want me to tell the others?" Jackson asked.

"No, let them find out themselves. They won't see me for a few days and when they do, tell them then" Mel replied.

"Sure, what ever you say, Mel"

"Mel! Time to go!" now Mel's dad told her.

"Bye"

"Bye, expect 10 emails a day" Mel said.

Jackson nodded and said, "I don't care if it's 20"

They kissed softly and waved.

Mel got I the car, wound down the window and blew another kiss.

Jackson waved back. When she turned the corner his eyes started to fill with tears aswell.

"bye Melissa" he whispered to himself.
