Here it was the day i had been waiting for since forever.
I groan as I squeeze my eyes tight from the blinding light pouring through my windows
"Yesssss" i huff as i fall back into my warm spot, a smile tugging the corners of my lips.

I jump out of bed walking up to my mirror shielding my eyes from the mess i was in
Still with a smile of course i was finally leaving this God forsaken town to a place of dreams.
Where coffee shops are at every turn and historical buildings at every end, bright lights at night and a beautiful sky line view from the apartment me and my beautiful people were to call home.

I was happy... for once i was happy for myself i was going to be someone
Something great for them my mum my sister my brothers. And fuck it felt amazing too.
"OH shit shit shit shit" i curse at myself as i strip my clothes tumbling into the shower,
Leo would be here in half an hour.....

Yea the topic of Leo I honestly wasn't sure where he would fit in my future.
I promised myself a relationship key word relationship not love would ever get in the way of my future plans
But... he says he could 'make it work' because I wasn't too far and he had a car anyway.
Even though Leo and i had been together for 3 years I didn't know....
One of my worst traits was being unsure and I wasn't sure this was what I wanted
I mean call me materialistic but Leo was lost I didn't want someone who was unsure of their path.
Nile called me mad for questioning our relationship i quote "who cares Ris he has the bag"
And I mean he is amazingly good looking but i started to feel it wasn't enough...for me at least.

"Hey baby" Leo walks into my hug i try to smile but it was tight lipped.
I quickly move away seeing my grandma enter the hallway,

Leo smiles and greets her, I guess that made me feel warm
Leo was better than me when it came to my family, i mean they just thought he was my friend
So that probably why they hadn't killed him yet.

I lead him upstairs to my room where empty labelled boxes where stacked.
I tie my hair into a messy bun, my eyes widen as i hear the door close.
"Your lucky my aunt and uncle aren't around"

A grin laces itself on his pretty lips as he walks towards me wrapping his hands around my middle.
I smile lightly placing my hands over his.
Leo was respectful he was i guess you could say 'vanilla' he was more of the lets hold hands and paint together type
I was fine with that I think he thought that's what i wanted but sometimes i wish he asked.

I pull away tapping on a box giving him a stern look
He laughs throwing his head back as he pulls me back into a tight cuddle resulting in a heap of giggles.
From there we start packing passing each other silly faces and smiles.

~ Iris ~
I unbuckle my beast as i stare up at the sky high building with intricate designs lased over its beige walls.
Leo grabs the last of the boxes placing the on the cart, Turning around to hold my hand brushing his blonde curls back as he places a kiss to my palm. I can't help but smile dorkishly, maybe things would be fine. We would be fine

I sigh as we step foot into the elevator it seemed like forever until we my floor
Luna and Nile were already there setting up their boxes they ran to me pulling me into a tight hug
I felt happy teasers sting my eyes.

Nile squeals hi to Leo embracing him with a hug.
Lu smiles and waves she wasn't too close with him and Nile was a natural people's person.
I smile and attempt to lighten the mood screaminG "WE FUCKING MADE IT GUYS"
We all just laugh puffing as we fall onto the cough with huge smiles.

I watch Leo's every move as we walk together out of the building to his car.
I turn to him as he opens the door and pull him into a deep kiss making him blush
I'd never displayed  such public affection because of my family but now i was away i could do whatever i pleased
And that was to kiss Leo White. He held my hips fight as i fell into his chest laughing.
Hesitantly i look up at his hazel green eyes smiling and he kissed me one last time before hesitantly getting into his expensive SUV.
I wave and he blows me a kiss driving away.

"I'm supposed to feel sad not relief right now"
I deadpan, I'm a mess.
