Goodbyes

Undisclosed, 1996

-What do you mean you have to go?- I spoke, while something began to crept up in my throat. –I’m sorry… someone adopted me…- She looked like she was about to cry, I held her close to me. –It’s okay… at least you found someone who will love and take care of you…- She started crying, it was such an unsettling sight… she took cover in my chest. –I’m going to New York with them… I will miss you a lot…- She slowly started pulling away from me. I put my hands behind my back and starting putting something out from my neck. –Take this… it’s a necklace the man who rescued me left me… it’s a promise that I’ll find you, no matter how much time it takes.- She started crying again and hugged me holding the necklace in her hands. After that day, I never saw her again.

-And that’s all my story.- Yuuki stayed looking at me in awe. He was my roommate in my apartment, and also one of the best friends I’ve ever had. –So… will you see her again?- Richard smiled. –I plan to… next year I’ll go to New York, I know where she lives. The nuns told me her parent’s address. If she isn’t there, then they’ll be able to tell me where she is.- Yuuki layed back even more on the couch. –I never would’ve taken you for a romantic.- I shrugged. –Eh, it’s okay.-  -So who adopted you?- I crossed my arms looking at his eyes. –The man who found me as a baby and took me to the orphanage returned. But that’s a story for another time, tell me about that girl you’re seeing.- Once I asked that, Yuuki couldn’t stop talking. He was something else, and such a blessing in my life. I’ll miss him a lot when I’m gone.
