Love
Chapter 4
Evie turned to Byran in the middle of the airport, his uniform on ,
his bags packed & ready.
" I'm going to miss you." She whispers against his
chest , as he pulls her into a tight hug.
" I'm going to miss you too." he replys, squeezing
her as tight as he could, making Evie unable to breath. But she
didn't mind. she squeezed him back just as hard.
" Passengers of flight 16 , to Texas, 1 minute untl take
off."
Evie lifted her face from his warm body , smiling at him, as she
felt a piece of paper slide into her hand.
" Your first letter." Byran smiles back at her. " I
have to go now.." He whispers, glancing at the door. Evie
nodded, & dropped her arms to her side.
" Be safe Byran." she says to him as she watched him walk
through the hall. The last time she would see him, for a very long
time. She would miss his eyes, his smile, his arms, his warmth, his
laugh, the way he walked, & everything about him. She had
feelings for Byran & she was already regretting that she
hadn't shared them with him.
Evie looked down at the letter in her hands & unfolded it.
Dear Evie,
Im most likely lifting off to Texas by now. & I want you to
know , that I will miss you dearly. Your hair, eyes, your sense of
humor. The way you look at life. It makes me believe not all of the
world is full of war & violence.& I love that you have
opened my eyes to the good.
I also wanted you to know how much I appreciate your patience &
kindness towards me. You took me into your home , kept me fed &
healthy. Thank you, so much. I will never be able to show how
greatful I am for your generosity.
The night we sat under the stars, on your roof, will be stuck in my
mind forever. It was the best night of my life, just laying there
with you in my arms. That was also the first night we kissed.
I will hold onto that memory , until I see you again Evie. I
promise you I will come home . Be good, don't miss me to much,
& please write back.
Signed,
Byran Temp.
Evie held the letter to her heart, as she starred out the window,
to catch his plane take off into the sky.
She slowly turned & began making her way out of the airport.
She began thinking about the night they spent on the roof, just
soaking in eachothers happiness & peace. She could feel the
emptiness fill her heart, as she realized he had really truely
left. The weke had gone by so fast, she swore she had somehow
dreamt it all & woke up a week later.
When Evie got home, her brother was in the kitchen, making
breakfast for himself.
" He left?" Mark asked, flipping his egg in the frying
pn.
" Yea.." Evie whispered.
" Good. I was starting to think he was into you." Mark
scoffed.
" Why would that be bad?" Evie asked, walking into the
kitchen.
" Evie, you're only 16. He is 19. Don't you think hes
to old for you?" Evie stayed quiet for awhile.
" What if I did like him? & he liked me?" Evie asked
after the few moments of silence.
" I hope your kidding.." he sighs, & turns to Evie
after placing his egg on the plate, which already had toast &
bacon , placed around. " Evie, hes a man in the army. That is
to much pressure,matturity, sadness, & heartbreak for a girl
your age to handle yet. You're not an adult." he got
ketchup form the fridge & squeezed some next to his eggs.
" How do you know I can't handle it?"
" Evie , why do you keep pestering me , like this actually
could be true?"
" Because it is." she huffs, walking out of the room.
" You are a fool!" her brother yells.
Evie grabbed her car keys & stomped out of the door. She
wasn't going to take this crap.
