Distant ✰djs✰

01

I was peacefully sleeping on my bed when I suddenly heard some grumpy voices yelling my name and snatching the sheets off me. ''wake up! Maya you still need to get ready!'' I heard him while he was attempting to wake me up.

 ''dad 3 minutes,'' I said sleepily. the next thing I felt was my own dad pouring a glass of water in my face. I quickly got up huffing. ''dad!!!'' I yelled in an annoyed tone.

 ''maya, I don't want tantrums. you yet have to pack.'' I unwilling got up from my bed and went to my bathroom to take a shower.

 i am Maya Vargas.

 I am nineteen years old and today we have to leave from Edmonton to Toronto for my university.

 my dad, mason Vargas, is a detective. and the person who has been trying to get me up for a while now. i got into the shower and turned on the water. the warm water hit my skin making me more awake.

 I was going to leave my dad and live alone at the university. I was a bit anxious and nervous, but ultimately one day I have to grow out of all these things. dad is already stressing out thinking about how I will live alone and if I stress out too it will be just worse for him. 

anyways, i have planned out everything for university.

i wanted to be in this university from 10th grade and now when i have got the chance i wont let my insecurities take me down. Ryerson University was one of the leading universities and getting admission in it was like a dream coming true for me. i struggled so hard to get in there. 

i didn't let anything distract me nor disturb me. i felt so many emotions running through me. a sense of fear as well as enthusiasm in me. ''Maya! we don't have the entire day'' i heard my dad screaming from downstairs. 

i just sighed and got out of the shower. i got into my room and wore a comfy outfit.

i left downstairs to have breakfast before getting into packing. when i went down, i already saw everything being kept on the table ready to be eaten up. 

dad was sitting by the table waiting for me. ''finally, the queen is downstairs after a long shower'' he taunted me while pointing me to sit on the chair. i grinned while taking the seat. 

''you did all the laundry right?'' dad inquired me. i nodded a yes. ''you grabbed you medications?'' he asked again. i nodded once more. ''and what about your makeup and skin care?'' 

omg. 

this man never stops. ''Mr. mason, i am going to university not leaving you forever, don't stress.'' i teased him while smiling a bit. he cackled.

 ''you grew up so fast...i wish your mom was here to see you'' he spoke while his smile turned into a frown. ''dad! she left us. she made this choice.'' i said to him a little dejected that he mentioned her. she left dad when i was 1 year old or that's what he wanted me to believe. dad wanted and chose to look after me. she went after some other man. 

she never even bothered to come and meet us. no matter how much dad denies it, he still misses her. he got up and laid a kiss on my forehead. ''ok ok i am sorry. go pack up'' he said while caressing my hair. 

i finished up my breakfast and went to my room. i packed all the clothes and the rest of the stuff. it took me half an hour. i tidied up my room for the last time. before leaving the room, i took a final long look at it. i felt so pessimistic.

 suddenly i wanted to star back but...i cant now. well, i hate when life gives something so good but have to make a sacrifice for it. i went downstairs with my bags. dad helped me to get them into the car. while we were about to leave the house someone knocked at our door. i opened it and suddenly there was a familiar hug. ''ok, hunter thats tight. i cant breathe'' i hugged him back giggling. dad smiled and greeted him. ''aww you are about to leave i guess'' i just nodded after he asked me.

''i bought this for you'' he said while passing over me some cookies. ''thank you so much''i said while hugging him once again. ''keep calling i will miss you'' he said almost about to tear up. he was my dad's best friends son. He was with us throughout all the sufferings and miseries. ''hunter! you will make me cry too, stop'' i said smiling. dad and hunter made minor talk and then we both got into the car. 

after a few hours...

after a good 3 hour flight, we reached the university. 

since it was already 8pm, we both agreed on staying in the nearby hotel. we got inside the hotel. dad went to the reception. ''i want a room for myself and my daughter. my name is mason vargas'' i just stared at them tiredly. i was so drained out by just sitting in the flight. without much effort, we got our room key. ''are you hungry?'' dad asked me after i changed my clothes and dramatically fell on the bed. ''yes'' i never say no to food. i feel its a sin to say no to food.

''good instead of ordering i will go down and get something'' he told me while wearing his jacket. ''why? just order'' i said to him making a confused face. ''i really need a small walk. i am not lazy like you'' he said chuckling at how i was laying on the bed just after 10minutes we got into the hotel. ''i take that after you'' i blamed him teasingly for my laziness. no sooner after dad left i got bored. i took my phone and decided to read a harry styles fanfic, ''stall'' well i am addicted. i was reading the updated chapters of my favorite book. 

''omg! why do you always lie!'' i was getting mad at the fact the character in the fic was way too not relatable. but still, i will keep reading since it has...smut. i swear whosoever is going to be my roommate, she or he is going to be Hella annoyed by me. yes, there was a possibility that my roommate could be a boy.

 but that really didn't matter. i was very focused on myself to have time for others. i was doing a major in business. after a good half and hour, dad came back. we both had our dinner and headed to sleep. dad dozed away just in few minutes. i was unable to sleep thinking that from tomorrow i will be staying away from dad. how will all this end up? its not the beginning that's fearing me but the end.
