Roommates

51
I
stared straight ahead of me, knowing there were crowds of
people ahead of me.
But, I couldn't see anyone, or anything, but Brett.
His oceanic blue eyes were glued to mine.
I bit my lip, and began running.
I ran straight towards him, and leaped in his arms, clutching
on his built chest tightly.
Tears flowed from my eyes uncontrollably, as my tears left wet
stains on Brett's t-shirt.
"Carson." he whispered, pulling my head away from
him.
"Brett, I-I just wanted to say bye." I said,
breathlessly.
Brett bit his lower lip, which just made me miss his soft lips
even more.
"Carson, I-"
Before he got to finish, a voice boomed the entire room through
an intercom.
"The 12:10 flight to JFK will be boarding momentarily.
Passengers for group one please start gathering in line. Thank
you."
I shut my eyes tightly, recieving an aching feeling in my
heart.
"Carson, I wanted to tell you something a long time ago. I
just didn't know how to say it to you." Brett
continued.
I nodded. "Tell me, Brett."
He seemed startled, almost nervous. "Carson, I-I'm not
returning to Brown next semester."
A tear rolled down my cheek, as I took the back of my hand, and
wiped it away bravely.
"W-what? Why not?" I asked.
Brett took in a deep breath, and letting it out heavily.
"I got accepted into Columbia in New York."
"S-so I won't be able to see you anymore?" I
choked out.
He shook his head, with a painful expression spreading across
his face.
"Promise me, Carson, that you'll always love me
somewhere in your heart. But, you have to let go of me. You
deserve someone better." Brett said, holding my hands.
"B-but I love you." I cried.
"I love you, too." Brett said.
I opened my mouth to say something, but I was interrupted by a
chirpy voice.
"Oh, hey, Carson! When did you get here?" Angela
asked, as Brett immediately dropped my hands.
I watched painfully as Angela wrapped her arms around
Brett's biceps, and batting her eyelashes at him.
"Just a minute ago, to say bye." I lied.
"The 12:10 to JFK is now ready for boarding. Passengers in
group one can now prepare for boarding." the intercom
said.
"Oh! We're group one! We should be going now,
Brett." Angela smiled.
"Yeah, we should." Brett said in a low voice.
"Bye, Carson! It was great meeting you!" Angela
squealed, wrapping her arms around me for a tight embrace.
"Yeah, same here." I whispered.
Brett studied my emotionless, tear stained face.
"Hey, Angie, you go without me. I'm going to board in
five minutes, okay?" Brett said.
Angela looked skeptical, and glanced over at me.
"Fine." she pouted.
She disappeared through the terminal.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, and forced myself to look at
Brett.
After all, this may be the last time I ever got to look in his
beautiful, blue eyes.
"I'm going to miss you, Carson. And whenever you want
to think of me, just look at the necklace, okay?" Brett
assured.
I nodded, forcing back heavy tears. "I'm going to miss
you, too, Brett."
Brett sighed. "I should go now. Bye, Carson."
I bit my lips, and unwillingly nodded. "Bye,
Brett."
Brett looked at me one last time before turning away.
He walked to the line of people boarding the plane.
Just as he was about to give the ticket to the lady, he
surprisingly turned back around.
He paused for a minute, before running back in my arms.
His body weight crashed upon mine, as he cupped my face.
He bought his force, and pulled myself towards him.
My lips crashed upon his, as the world seemed unconscious to
me.
My legs started going weak, as the kiss deepened.
We finally pulled away, gasping for air.
"I just wanted to remind you that I love you, no matter
what." Brett explained.
I blushed, and nodded. "I love you, no matter what,
too."
He pecked my cheek one last time, before returning back to hand
the ticket to the lady.
I clutched onto the necklace he gave me, as I watched as he
went through the terminal.
