The last day of school was an emotional train wreck. Seeing my friends leave was like losing your closest friend. I had to say good bye to, Lila, Angela, Aubrey, Elizabeth, Melinda, Naomi, Payton, Troy, Hailey, and so many more it was heart breaking. But at least we'll be able stay in contact.
We're into the first week of summer vacation. So far I have most of my stuff packed for the house the crew and I bought near the college we all picked. Notre Dame. It's still unbelievable that I made it into my dream school. With my five best friends might I add.
"Are you ready to go?" My mom asks me. Tears starting to well up in her eyes.
"I- I think so." I say.
"Well, the truck is here already. Everybody has their stuff in the truck, they're just waiting on you." My mom explains.
"I'm almost done if you could take these two boxes out, I should have the third box ready to go once you've got those two out." I explain. My final box was a box that was going to stay in my closet or be dumped out in a drawer.
I take in my surroundings and realize, this is my last time living as a child. I'm now a young adult almost eighteen. Life after this is either going to be absolute nirvana, or more years of living hell.
I walk out of my house with a smile, then I hopped into the truck. My mom and little sister were in our family car with Stacy taking her to her campus in West Virginia. My two step siblings are in the truck with me. Danielle is driving and Damien is sitting on the other side of me. Stanley, Jackie, and Bridget were in Stanley's car.
I smiled as we left town. Many memories were made and it almost saddens me seeing it be left behind.
The events of the past week were like a tsunami hitting an entire city. Destroying everything in it's wake. Such as, my break up with Josiah.
*Flashback*
Things have been more than complicated with Josiah. He's been pushy and hasn't been letting me, be me. It's time I put my foot down and end things.
I drive to his house to speak to him. Ending our relationship once and for all. I approach his front door slowly but cautiously.
It's a few seconds after I knock on the door that he opens up.
"Baby, what are you doing here?" He asks pulling me close to him.
"I- I need to speak to you in private." I explain as he follows me out the door. I lead him to my car.
We sit in a few minutes of silence while I drive off. "So, what do you want to talk about?" He asks, breaking the silence.
"I'm really sorry but, I don't think this relationship is working. I, I think it's time we break up. I know I said I would give you a second chance and I wanted to take things slow, but, you've been pushing me around a bit and I don't like it. Plus, I feel forced to be in this relationship. I'm sorry, I truly am." I explain pulling off onto the shoulder of the road.
"I- I understand. And I'm sorry I acted the way I did. Now, I just want you to be happy. But first, I want one last thing before leaving you." He says before pulling me closer into a kiss. I haven't felt this in over three months. Now that I have felt it again, I don't know if I don't miss it or not.
*out of flashback*
I didn't know how to feel after that day, until I realized, I started feeling true happiness again. It was like a bunch of relief was released and I was finally feeling it again.
"We'll be in Notre Dame in about two or three hours." Danielle explains.
I start to drift a sleep a bit and since I'm stuck between the twins, I let my head droop.
