1. The Going

The stangest things happen when you least expect them to. I was stood here, under a large black umbrella in the pouring night-time rain, outside of my house with my boyfriend of two years, Ethan.

"So, you're leaving?" I repeated the short phrase to myself again, not quite understanding why it hadn't sunk in yet. I spose I'd been in denial for these past few weeks.....

His long slender hands reached up to cup my face and I felt a sudden spasm of longing, wishing that this wasn't real.

"It's only for a couple of months. I'll come back for you, I promise." Only a couple of MONTHS? His soft honeysuckle words floated on the chilly breeze, ruffling his silky, poker-straight brown hair. I tried to pull my collar up one-handedly to keep out the unwanted draft.

"Stupid..." I cursed, fumbling with the material with my gloved hand.

"Come here, Char." He spoke softly as he did it for me. A lump began to form in my throat as I realised our time was nearly up. My sadness peaked as I felt big, wet tears spill from my eyes, a sob threatening to break free as my body shook. He pulled me into a tight hug, my flame-orange hair nestled comfortably under his chin.

"Take me with you." I half-whispered, nuzzling my face into his Parka shoulder, tears in full flow.

"Oh Charlotte! You know I can't!" I could hear his tone becoming a bit exasperated...he only ever used my full name when he got annoyed.

I just couldn't stop myself. "Why not?" He dropped his arms from the embrace, his right shoulder all wet. Oh no... I mentally began preparing to beat myself up later. He gave me a tired-out look.

"C'mon Char, we've been over this a million times. Your parents don't think going to New Zealand would be..." He paused, taking on the pesona of my father and doing a perfect impression, "...beneficial to your first year of 6th form education." His face softened as he flashed me a crooked, sad sort of smile that only made me want to cry harder. I furiously wiped away the fresh tears.

Ethan kissed my forehead protectively as I looked up at him. "And we wouldn't want a brilliant student like you becoming a 'high school drop-out' now would we?"


....
Finally got around to writing this down...

My inspiration came from being abandoned by my boyfriend (not for real!..he's gone away on holiday!) at the time I was reading New Moon by Stephanie Meyer/P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern.

I kinda thought about the best way to start a novel (concluding that I was no good at situations I hadn't been in or wasn't familiar with) and...combined with the missing-ness of Kiwi I wondered if this would work....

This is meant to be a action/adventure story in the end, but for now its a life story.....vaguely....:S


Hopefully its ok. :)
