Chapter 8

Goodbye

         

 

      I was packing the last of my things into the suitcase my parents brought when i head someone at the door. I could guess who it was by the way he cleared his through.

     “Good luck” He said. I turned around but couldn’t look him in the eye.  “And Misaki, i…”

     “Oh! Dr. Usami, Come to see our boy off?” My father said standing behind him in the door way, excitement on his face.

     “I know we came early, but we’re just so happy that our baby is finally coming home.” My mother pushed past him and rapped her arms around me. “Again, thank you so much for all you’ve done.”

     “No” he reassured “your sons a truly amazing kid.” He smiled at me and my heart jump. What was that? I shut the suitcase hard and stomped past them.

     “Yeah, thanks” I said stopping in the doorway.

     “Goodbye.”  His words didn’t comfort me or easy my heart the way they usually did. I couldn’t say anything back because i felt like crying. What’s wrong with me, i thought.

      It’s because he’s only person I’ve gotten close to since coming here. It’s nothing more, i reassured myself .Only because we’ve spent a lot of time together and gotten close, that’s all. Goodbyes were always this hard, weren’t they?

     But it was the first time since meeting Usami that i truly felt alone. I thought about that night in the snow and i cold i was; this feeling was ten times worse.

     Goodbye Usami.
