***Chapter 8: I Need To See Them…***
“Gaara, are you there?” I called out into his room through his half open door. I needed to talk to him. It was urgent, but I didn’t make it out to be.
“Yes. What is it?” Gaara replied “You can come in.”
“I need to tell you something. Something that’s very important.” I told him calmly. I didn’t want him to know something was wrong.
“What do you need to tell me?” he asked, with a hint of concern in his voice.
“I need to go for a while; I need to see someone who needs me.” I replied, trying not to upset Gaara. We just became the closest friends ever, and I was about to leave. I know how I would feel if that happened to me, so I know it feels so much worse for him.
“W-Why?! I need you! Please don’t go!” Gaara pleaded, tears were welling up into his eyes.
“Gaara please don’t cry! There’s someone just like you out there, and I need to go tell him it’s alright, just like I tell you!” I cried, I just couldn’t stand it when someone else cried. It made me feel so torn up inside…
“Will you come back?” he questioned, holding back his tears.
“Of course I will! I’ll never forget about you Gaara! You’re my best friend.” I told Gaara “I just need to see them.”
“Okay, but you have to come back. I won’t be able to get on without you now.” Gaara said.
“Don’t worry; I will definitely come to visit you as often as possible!” I answered with enthusiasm. I’m so glad that he understood. I would have hated to have to leave in the middle of the night without telling anyone. It would have broken his heart, which already bore the many scars his young life had given him without mercy.
The next morning, I set out to the direction of the aura I needed to follow. I could feel it strongly in my heart, and knew exactly where to go. As I was walking down the street, I looked back. There was Gaara, in his window, watching me go. I waved at him, hoping that he’d wave back. As he saw my hand go up, his went up too and began to copy my movements. He waved for the first time, and it was for me. I’ll always remember to come and visit Gaara, I’ll never forget. Because you really are my best friend, and nobody can change that.
