[Goodbye always sucked. It had sucked when he'd flown out of O'Hare to start his last year of high school. It had sucked when he'd dropped off everyone but Booker at Cristoforo Colombo at the end of their summer road trip of the Mediterranean.
But most recently, it had sucked leaving Booker behind on the train platform in Paris.
It sucked more when he'd been home for all of three days when his dad had came bursting into his room, demanding to know why he'd withdrawn himself from Seminary. The resulting fight had been loud and long and....and the nightly calls between the three of them had been voice only and much shorter since then, Nicky staying quiet and mostly just listening to Joe and Booker's voices.
He hadn't made plans to be back in Paris for almost a month. Time to give Booker a chance to settle into his classes, time for him to think about the direction he wanted to take himself now. Time for Joe to get accepted into his art program and get there. The plan had been to talk every night and text every day and to suffer the distance until they could all meet again.
So Booker getting a text Friday afternoon after his last class of his first week was not part of the plan.]
