#Chapter24
A shadow rest behind me pulling me into its arms, the arms of my best friend, engulf in his potent scent. Curling into his embrace, he rocks me slowly looking at the beach down the hill. His lips connects to my hair and then my face, I almost let out a strangled sob hugging his arms tighter. I’m leaving Ireland not knowing when I’ll be back, so sudden; wanting nothing more than to ball my eyes out. Here I thought the pieces of my life were fixed in a perfect puzzle. It all came crashing down. /"Guess they sent you to come get me./"
At such a young age, his voice deeper than the normal teenager has people turning necks at him. My best friend and crush. /"The jet is ready, your flight leaves in an hour./" He says monotone but I heard the deep edge sitting within struggling to show emotion. Instead, he pulled me into his warm embrace tighter giving a heavy sigh having my eyes prickle with unshed tears. I didn’t want to go, more so, I didn’t want to leave him.
