"I'll miss you," I cried hugging my best friend Clearence. The salty tears were already starting to break my defences by looking at the bright side. Clearence will be back in two mouths. Just two measly mouths, you can survive, nothig bad will happen. I kept telling myself. Wasn't working well. I kept imagining his plane going down or him getting hit by a car every time I closed my eyes. It was like those terrible pictures were glued to the insides od my eyelids.

"I should leave more ofen if your going to act like this!" he breathed in my ear, storking my blonde curly hair. I didn't hit him playfully of shrug him off like I would usually do,let him have his fun.

Instead I took him seriouly and panicked. "No, don't!," I almost yelled. I tried to push him off but he held on tighter. I was confussed, did he mean it? Or not? He really should stop messing with me when I'm about to cry, it such makes it worst.

Cody chuckled. "I was only kidding! Did you seriouly beleive that I would leave the most beautiful girl in the world just so she would miss me?" He's cruel. So maybe Clearence wanted more then friendship but I wasn't sure what I felt. When I didn't answer he pulled away from me and held my shoulders with his hands.

His beautiful sparkling blue eyes gazed in to my chocolate brown eyes. I releized this will be the last time in two mounth that I'm going to gaze into those wonderful eyes, salty tears broke from their prison as I releized this. I quickly looked down, I promised myself that I wouldn't cry. Stupid, stupid! Clearence took a hand from my shoulder and on my chin lifting it gently, the salty traitors slid down my cheeks.

"Please don't cry, Oliva! Babe, I didn't mean it! I...I" he begged. I put my finger to his lips to shut him up. I didn't want him thinking he caused these tears because I did, not him. I was the one who said 'Go Clearence! I'll be fine! Go live your dreams! This is a once in a lifetime chance and I'm not going to hold you back!'. I'ts my fault I'm crying.

"One," I said in a soothing voice. "I'm crying beecause I'm going to miss you and two don't call me 'Babe'" I chuckled. Clearence tried to speak but I kept my finger right were it was. "Shush! I'm not done yet!" Clearence looked at me with doubting eyes. "And three, get the hell out of this dead end town already!" I yelled giving him another hug while we laughed.

"Yes, sir!" Clearence said.

Clearence let go of me too soon but I could never tell him that. "I'lll miss you more you know," he said getting into his car.

I smiled knowing that was a lie, he'll probablly be having too much fun to care about little old me. "Yeah, sure," I said rolling my eyes. Clearence just laughed swiftly moving his ebony black hair out of his eyes.

"We'll see," he joked. And then he pulled out of my driveway alreay said his good-bye to and I just stood there watching his car drive away from this town and me.

Maybe I do love him if it hurts this much when he drove away, why else would I be still standing out here even though his car had already dissappeared? Maybe were just really close friends? Who knows...
