"Please don't leave again"
Tears were swelling in her eyes. So much so she couldn’t see straight. Which might even be a good thing right now. She couldn’t bare to look at him.
It had been almost a year since she’d been transferred there and she still hadn’t been adopted. They were transferring her. Again. She begged and she pleaded and explained, but nothing worked. The system rendered her powerless. She stormed out of there running off into the woods. She needed to be alone. Try and get herself together somehow. She cried for a long while just getting it all out. At least as much as she could and the worst part was the only person who could make her feel better would make it sting a million times worse.
She needed to tell him though. No matter how terrible it was going to be. She walked there taking the long way needed the time to breathe. Think about how she was going to tell him. She couldn’t come up with anything good at all and before she knew it she was knocking on his door. The smile as he saw her standing there…. shattered her heart in her chest. “I’m being transferred to Oregon…” She couldn’t even bring herself to say hey. She couldn’t even wait til they were inside.
And that’s where she stood. At his doorstep. Eyes flooded with tears as he begged her to stay. “You know, better than anybody, that I’d do anythin’ t’ stay..” she had to stop, wiping at her eyes. “There’s nothin’ I can do..” She always knew this day would come and it hurt her even more than she thoguht it would. “I’m so sorry, Dean.. I—” She couldn’t take this. The one time her life seemed to be working and it was all being ripped away and there wasn’t a thing she could do.
