Goodbye

"I have all that I need." Will repeated the words. He looked at his uncle, really looked. He could tell that Michael was holding back his aura only by a thread.

"Yes, Will." Some of the tension left Michael as he saw his nephew considering. "I know you care for Bianca, your dad and me. I know that you are hurting right now." He tilted Will's eyes up to meet his own. "But don't burn your bridges. What would Maya think? Is that what you want her to be brought back into?"

Will flinched as if he were slapped in the face. 'No, Maya would blame herself for the gap that formed.' He took a deep breath and looked into his uncle's eyes with determination. "I need to leave for a while." He took his uncle's hand from his shoulder. "I need to find my way, at least for now." He smiled as he walked from Michael. "I have all that I need." He repeated once more.
