He sighed and kept walking. Not seeing the branch he tripped and fell flat on his face. 3

"Ow..."4

Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Jeevan. They all burst into laughter. Jeevan sat up and laughed along with them. He looked towards his friends and smiled when he saw Emlen walking towards him. He opened his arm for him. Instead of Emlen hugging him, he tackled him.5

"Ah!", he yelped. "That was uncalled for!". He laughs and hugs him back. Emlen stands up and smiles down at him. He puts his arms up and says, 6

"Carry me", like a five year old.7

"Are yoiu serious?", he asks skeptical.8

He nods and puts on the puppy dog eyes. 9

"Please?!"10

"You're lucky I love you"11

As Emlen went to pick him up, he put his arms down frowning. 'I love you too' he thought, 'But I'm not going to get to say it.'12

"What's wrong babe?" Emlen asks worried. All I do is look at him. All I could do was look at him. 13

"Everything", I mumble.14

"Hmm?" I shake my head and get up. I walk over to the rest of my friends and sit down on the big rock. Everyone surrounds me like they're about to jump me. I look down annd I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see that it's Mikale. He smiles and I nod. His smiles turns into two furrowed brows and a frown. I look around the huge ircle of friends in one quick sweep and all I could think was 'Goodbye'. 15

"What, are you a mute now?" I look at Joku and glare. Always the asshole. 16

"It was a joke man. Calm your nerves", he says and laughs.17

"What did you bring us here for anyway?"18

I sigh and open my mouth, bt nothing comes out. I try again, but it's just silence. I gaspp and relize I can't do it. I can't go through with it. Saying goodbe...saying goodbye...19

Emlen steps infront of me and bends down so we're face to face ans leans in to kiss me. His lips touc mine and it's like I'm in a whole nother' world. Everything else fades aay and it's only us two. All I see is him, all I hear is hi, all i feel is him. Everything is him. All of a sudden I break and reality comes crashing back down. 'Me everything. My life, my world will be gone in only a day'. I freeze up and Emlen backs away with a confused look on his face. I take the opportunity and run. I run as fast as I can. I take one look back at my friends who are in shock and begin to tear. The nly thing going through my mind, 'I'm sorry. So sorry, but...goodbye'20
