6. Goodbyes and Hugs.

Xavier's POV

So finally it was time to leave for school and I was quite happy .

My stuff had already been packed up so all I had to do was to take a shower and be off . Mum wanted to go with me but I declined , telling her that I wasn't a kid anymore. I could do this alone.

From the palace to the school was about a three hour drive , but it was all good .At about two pm I took a shower and within an hour I was ready.

The butler helped me to pack my stuff downstairs to where the chauffeur was waiting in the limo.

We loaded my stuff into the car and waited for my parents to say my last goodbyes , as I stood there,I turned to my butler and said " Oliver, I just wanted to say thank you for everything. You have really helped me since my childhood and I will forever be grateful."

"Sire, you will make me tear up, but I want you to know that I will be there for you, anytime you need me." He hugged me then bowed and left with a smile on his face.

Not long after my mum and dad walked out with his face as stoic as usual and my mum all teary eyed which made me chuckle a bit, trust her to exaggerate everything but it was all part of the reason I loved her and will miss her a ton.

"Xavier , I am going to miss you so much and I want you to promise me you will behave, I know you are a good person so please just don't get tangled up with bad people, okay. I Love you" ,she said . Just as she hugged me .

I turned to him , waiting to hear what he had to say. An these were his exact words" Don't make me regret this", then he left.

Now even though I was used to his behavior, I still wished he had said something more, but I knew that was the best I would get and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, deep down it hurt .

" Don't let it get to you ,he loves you, even though he has a strange way of showing it" my mum was saying.

"Very strange mum", I replied.

She hugged me one last time and I turned to sit in the car , rolled down the glass and waved to her as we took of , and just like that I was on my way to a new place with new faces and new experiences . I leaned back in my seat and rolled the glass back up so as not to attract attention and braced my self for what was ahead.

Lillian's POV

As at 9am ,I was still in bed , until " Lilian!!!!!!! ,Wake up , your flight leaves in two hours ."

That's when I did a double take and remembered what today was, I was leaving to the UK , for school and I had to pinch myself to know I wasn't dreaming.

I was already running late, so I immediately woke up and run to bathroom .

I did my business and took a shower ,then came out.

I was really lucky because I had packed up my stuff the night before, so it saved me a whole lot of time.

I wore blue high waist jeans with a white tank top and an gray zip up cardigan then paired it a pair of black flats and styled my hair into a long ponytail.

I grabbed my stuff, that was two suitcases and a carry-on bag, and made my way downstairs.

When I got to the kitchen, Karen was making her famous pancakes that I realized would be my last one and I would miss it so much.

I dropped my bags outside and came back for breakfast , then I noticed a box on the dining table but refrained from asking any questions.

"Mrs. Sherman called the Director and she says she will be waiting at the airport in London by the time you drop down."

"Okay, that will be a lot better.

We finished eating before we realized we were really late and we would have to beat traffic to make it to the airport.

We rushed out of the house with Karen picking up the box I saw earlier.

I placed the bags into the trunk of the car , took shotgun and then we took of .

Now I have never had a car ride with Karen to be tense before but for once we both felt the tension in the car which we tried to avoid but there was no way we could.

I took one suitcase and my carry-on while Karen took the other suitcase as we ran into the airport.

But before we entered, she stopped me and handed the box to me and I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was a phone, my first official phone and I was so happy. It was a Samsung Galaxy S7.

"Oh , Karen thank you so much

Thank you, I will really treasure this. " I didn't even realize I was crying and laughing.

We ran inside just as I heard ,

" Final call for flight 3372 , London, Durham".

"Am here, coming through"

I was running with Karen and even though we were late we were laughing.

After going through security for clearance , we slowed down, then I turned to Karen knowing that I would be seeing her again in the next four months to come.

She hugged me for like forever then released me when the flight attendant came to call me.

"I love you , Lillian , don't you ever forget that and learn hard and make me proud."

"I love you too , Karen and I promise to make you proud" .

" Call me when you get settled, okay."

"Will do Karen, will do".

I waved her and turned and headed inside the plane, I packed my stuff in the luggage area and got seated then not long after we took of.

I buckled up and relaxed getting ready to begin a new chapter of my life in the next 7 hours.

Thank you all for the reads , it really means a lot to me.

And now!!!!!!!. But what do you think, should I let them meet early or not.
