"Mom! Seriously?"

"Gigi, it's final. I don't want to hear it." My mom said as she walked past me.

I put my hands over my head in desperation, meanwhile my eyes began to tear up.

I really can't do this.

The doorbell rang and I let out a deep sigh as I wiped my eyes before going to get it.

"What?" I said as I saw Ryan standing there.

"Uh, Justin's goodbye party? Remember?" He said.

"Oh! Right. I forgot." I said as I shook my head.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I said. Obviously I was not, but today isn't about me.

"Did your parents fight again our something?" He asked. I shook my head and closed the door behind me.

"Then what is it?" He asked as we began to walk towards Justin's house.

"I'll tell you later ry. Not now."

"Fine." He sighed.

We made it to the house and Justin had just gotten here like five minutes ago, he was play fighting with chaz. He laughed and punched his arm before noticing I had walked in. We made eye contact and I gave him a soft smile, then I went to say hi to his grandparents and Pattie.

"Sweetie, have you been crying?" She whispered in my ear.

"I'm fine." I smiled.

"Are you hungry?" She asked me.

"No." I shook my head.

So it really was obvious that I was crying. Great. Just awesome.

I excused myself and went over to the bathroom to get a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My nose was kinda red, and my eyes were a bit swollen, so I just splashed some water on my face and headed back out.

"Hey." Justin said as he walked towards me from the other end of the hall.

"I was looking for you." He said as he approached me. "Are you okay?"

I smiled and nodded.

"You look like you were crying." He pointed out.

"I'm just really gonna miss you." I said, which technically wasn't a lie. I was going to miss him, I miss him. I miss how things used to be, I miss hanging out with him all the time, going to school together... Now everything sucks. I'm going to move to New York, thanks to my mom, and I'm probably never going to see him or any of my friends again.

Justin sighed and pulled me into his arms. "I'm going to miss you too." "I promise I'm going to try my best to stay in contact with you." "I'll talk to you as much as I can."

"You're the best two day hypothetical boyfriend ever." I said. He began laughing and squeezed my body in a hug.

"Justin?" Pattie's voice called and we pulled away as her footsteps were heard to be coming closer. "Let's go!" She hurried him.
