5. End of summer
The days went by so fast, and then the summer was over. I was getting ready to leave for college when Shane stayed behind to finish up at the police academy. He only had five more months. Surely, we could make it apart in few months.
"I love you, Andrea," Shane said when he showed up at my to take me to the airport.
My parents and little sister looked over at me forlornly. I could not believe I would be leaving my home behind. Part of me wanted to stay here like Shane had suggested. It would be a lot easier than saying goodbye.
" Take care of yourself," My mom said giving me another hug.
"I will," I smiled slowly pulling away from his embrace.
"Study all the time," dad said as I wrapped my arms around him.
"You know Andrea won't be able to put her books down," Shane said.
"I'll make you all proud," I whispered in my dad's ear.
"I want you to stay sissy," Amy cried.
"I'm going to call you every night and I'll be coming home on the weekend," I promised my little sister.
"We better go. You are going to miss your flight," Shane whispered. I took his hand and left the only place I had ever called home.
"Part of me really wants to stay," I said looking into Shane's chocolate-colored eyes.
"I want you to stay, but in five months I'll be with you. Like we planned," Shane said kissing my lips softly.
"Promise me that you will be with me soon," I said.
"I promise. Now you better get on that plane before I don't let you go," Shane said.
"I love you," I said kissing his soft skin.
"I love you too," Shane said waving goodbye.
