Farewell My Enemies

"If I stayed, you and Abby would be torn apart. You love her too much to lose her to lose her."
"I love you more. You are my sister! It's my responsibility to look after you!"
"I know you love me, and I love you! That's why I must go. If you lost her, you would come to hate me. And I could not bear that." He crushed her tightly in his arms. The tears flowed unheeded down his cheeks.
"Oh Chel , don't go!"
"I must or I will never be able to look the world in the face again. I will return, someday. I promise. I love you, take care." She pried his arms from around her. She kissed him and wiped the tears from his from his face. As long as she lived she would never forget the look in his eyes.
