Last Kiss by Elizabeth Hill (parable of the sower read online txt) 📕

air swooshing as the phone was handed to Chase.
“Now she’s answering your phone?” I say angry.
“She’s making sure I don’t get distracted.”
“From what!?”
He sighs. “I can’t tell you Jamie, but you have to trust me.”
“Okay, okay what did you call for?”
“I was going to call you over but . . . Lara came and . . .” I narrowed my eyes. Funny fact about me I don’t like to reason. Which lead me to do my next move, hanging up. So this Lara chick was who was taking him away. Hmmm. My phone rings and I about scream but its Mackenzi.
“Hey, do you want to go ice skating?” She sounded eager.
“I don’t really know how.”
“Yay! That’ll make it more fun. So you wanna come?”
“I guess. Come pick me up?”
“Sure see you.” I dress and wait for Mackenzi to come. I was so angry more than that though I was hurt. He said it was nothing, he was lying. I was sure of it. So right now it seemed our relationship was about to plummet. I threw my phone on the floor and heard a crack. Well now my parents had to buy me a new phone. Oh well.

When we got to the ice rink I stared in horror. So many people skating on the thick ice, so crowed I was going to fall in an instant. We got into skates and took off. Or well I clung to Mackenzi while she tried to help me. We went around a few times and by the 5th round I was good by just holding her hand. I felt like a little kid but I had to admit I was having fun. It was even funnier when I fell, it hurt but it was laughable. So then I and Ken would be laughing for ten minutes before skating again. I pushed her once, but she had good balance and just made me fall front ways. All in all this day was fun. By the time I got home I ached and was sore so I ate and went straight to bed. 5:30 I was sleeping.

My dream was insane. Me and Lara fighting head to head for Chase. I know it sounds ridiculous, but in the dream I felt so real. I could feel each punch and hit Lara through my way. I could feel the impact my hands made with her. I felt for sure I was going to wake up with bruises. I didn’t even know I was fighting for him, but I remember thinking I have to win. If I don’t I’ll lose him forever. It made me sad to think that was the truth.
When I woke up I was prepared for another no-Chase-day. But I was surprised to see that he came to give me a ride. I wondered if I should or not, I didn’t want to fight. I wished none of this had happened but I couldn’t avoid it. I hoped in and buckled the seat belt.
“You never wear your seat belt.” He points out as he drives.
“Well today I did.”
“Jamie,”
“Chase if you don’t want me to be mad at you quit lying. Tell me everything.” I can probably take it. I think.
“Jamie, I don’t know how your take it.” I give him a look and he sighs.
“I’m moving to Germany.” What! “And my parents hired Lara to come and teach me some German.”
“No,”
“What?”
“No, you can’t leave. I’m not- I can’t- let you.”
He sighs. At least things were cleared up. I mean I would rather he was not leaving but at least- for now- he was still mine.
“Next month.” He says quietly.
“Why?”
“My parents . . . . Felt like it.” He sounded sad, and I felt like I could cry. His parents felt like it.
“Is that what you meant when I first met you? When you said you moved a lot?”
“Yeah, they have some dream of go around the world. And I can’t just not go.”
“I don’t like your parents.” I say. When I had met them they were fine. And they had seemed to like me. But now they were getting on y nerves. How rude to just move without talking to your son? They should have asked if he wanted to go.

When we arrive at school I don’t bother to talk to Elana. But of course she wants to know what’s going on. But I don’t leave Chase’s side. He was leaving. I couldn’t believe it. Lara had joined in lunch and while I held Chase’s hand he practice some German nonsense. When we had to part to our one separate class it was hard and I was about to just skip class with him. But then I thought, you have a month left. I had a month this isn’t the only day. But it sure felt like it.

From the beginning to the end I and Chase were inseparable. And today he was leaving. He was about to board the plane and the tears over flowed. I ran into his arms and said a quiet good bye. He set me down waved good bye and left. And now I was alone standing in the middle of an air port. I felt sad and hollow. As I made my way back home I couldn’t understand how I would be able to get up in the morning and go about a normal day. I didn’t know but for now, all I wanted to do was sleep. And dream out of this nightmare.
