Chapter 6 – it's hard to say goodbye
I walked in Sarah's room to ask her about why shes not eating and there she was reading a book about the world.
"Hey, what you reading that for?" I asked.
"Well, I was thinking that maybe I need see more then just Hawaii, that I need to explore the world." Sarah said.
"What, but why?" I asked.
"Because I'm older now and I need to be free, I hoped maybe you'd understand, you remember the stories you told me about are parents…well they would have understood" Sarah said.
"I know but…" I couldn't speak.
"Popper, you need to understand." Sarah said. Sarah had everything packed and ready to go and we both went to airport and you can guess what happened next.
"Sarah, wait…Please don't go…please," I said with fear.
"Popper, I'm not a little kid anymore…I can take care of myself now, its time for me to move on now," Sarah said.
"But..." I said as tears fromed in my eyes.
*Music starts*
Sarah: Things are changing
It seems strange and
I need to figure this out
You've got your life I got mine
Popper: But you're all I cared about
Popper: Yesterday we were laughing
Today I'm left here asking
Where has all the time gone now
I'm left alone somehow
Growing up and getting older
Together: I don't want to believe it's over
Together: Don't say goodbye
Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
And although we knew
This time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye
Popper: Do you remember
In December
How we swore we'd never change
Even though you're leaving
That our feelings
Would always stay the same
Sarah: I wish we could be laughing
Popper: Instead I'm standing here asking
Do we have to end this now
Can we make it last somehow
Together: We both know what we've gotta say, not today
Popper: Cause I don't want you to leave this way
Together: Don't say goodbye
Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
And although we knew
This time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye
"See Popper, I'm older now…and it's time for me to go out on my own…and maybe come back someday." Sarah said.
"What if you get hurt? What if something bad happens? Please don't leave me." I said before I snuffed.
"Popper, I'll never leave you I'm always right here, in your heart...just like you told me when i was little...and I think I can defend myself if anything like that comes up" Sarah said.
"Ok, Promise me you'll come home someday?" I asked.
"Promise" Sarah said. I brought her in for a hug.
"No matter what, you'll always be my Big Brother" She said whipping a tear from my face.
"No matter what you'll always be my Little Sister" I said letting her go and watching her run to her flight.
Together: And if it's over
It hurts but I'm giving you my word
I hope that you're always
Happy like we were
Happy like we were
Together: Don't say goodbye!
Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight!
Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I!
And although we knew!
This time would come for me and you!
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye
*Watched her get on the plain*
Sarah: Yesterday we were laughing
Popper: if you're gonna say goodbye
Sarah: Today I'm left here asking
Popper: if you're gonna say goodbye
Together: And although we knew this time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're ganna say goodbye
*Song ends*
*The plain took off and Popper left for home while wiping his tears away*
Sarah left that day and on the same day a part of me left as well, maybe it was for the best that she left. All I know is, things aren't going to get better…
They just might get worse…
*screan goes black*
