A Chance at Life

A Final Goodbye

Diary,
It's Monday and this feels stupid. Marty told me to write down how I feel because I've been so nervous about moving so here it is; I'm nervous
Bye

To Diary,
It's Tuesday and I have my last shift tomorrow. I think that's when reality will kick in. I haven't seen Shelby since Graduation because her parents have been taking her to do a variety of day activities before she leaves. I miss her.
Goodbye

Dear diary,
It's now Wednesday night, I've just finished my final shift at the restaurant and the only thing left to do now is pack up the rest of my clothes and get Helsby ready for Sunday. It's kicking in that I'm really leaving my family behind for LA. I just hope with Shelby, I'll be okay.

Dear Diary,
Thursday afternoon: Fatin is hosting our farewell party tomorrow where all our family and friends will be, I don't know if Shelby's family are invited but I guess it's more of a farewell to everyone if they are. I'm even more nervous now, it'll be a new experience in a new city, I've never been outside of Texas.
-Toni

Dear Diary,
Friday evening: This is probably be the last one until after I move, if I don't leave you behind for Marty to read. Hey Marty, if I do and you're reading this. I love you and miss you already, Wish me luck.
Love you
- Toni

I stop writing and watch as the gifted clock Brian got me, ticks by. I look around and see how my room is just full of boxes; most for charity, some for the trash and a couple that I filled with stuff I'd need in the future. I pick up the clock but decide to leave it, as a reminder of all the good times I've had here. I put the journal underneath the clock and look in the mirror at myself. My hair pinned up and mascara on my eyelashes, I sigh and get up walking to my closet.

Marty rushes by and knocks on my doorframe. "Hey"
"Hey Marty"
"Are you ready?"
"I will be soon, I just have to get dressed"
"Hurry, we're going to be late" I pick out the silver jumpsuit that Mrs B gave me and put it on. Marty comes rushing by again and looks at me.
"You look amazing"
"I feel like it's missing something"
"I know what it's missing" she walks off and comes back with a silver belt.
"Did you just have this at hand?"
"My moms" I put it on and it fixes it.
"Perfect"
"Come on, let's go" I pet Helsby goodbye on my way out and we get into Marcus' car.

When we get there's everyone's dress up and Shelby arrives at the same time without her parents. "No parents tonight?"
"Nope, they're at some work dinner for my daddy" I stand outside with Shelby while Marty and Marcus walk inside.
"Your siblings are...?"
"Bein' babysat by the babysitter they hired"
"Good, let's go shall we?" She links my arm and we walk into Fatin house.

Everyone pops party poppers at us and cheers. "To Toni and Shelby!" Fatin hands us both drinks and we go round greeting everyone.
"Rachel! Nora!" 
"We wouldn't miss a chance to say our goodbyes would we, though we have to leave early since I have training tomorrow"
"As long as your here now" I hug them both and we all go find Dot who's playing beer pong.
"Come on Dot, I thought you were better than this?"
"I'm trying to avoid being drunk by 7 thank you"
"Let loose, it's our final night with the 8 of us" Fatin slams the table causing Dot to miss her shot.
"You asshole" The evening turns into night time and by 10pm even Nora was still here dancing. Rachel had left but we convinced Nora to stay after they got into an argument.

I was dancing with Shelby when she drags me to the bathroom for a break away. She locks the door behind her and pulls me in for a kiss. "I've missed you so much"
"It's been a long week without you" I kiss her hard and she puts my hand on her waist. She pulls her dress up and I follow her hand with my own onto her naked body. I put my hand down her panties and put two fingers in her. She moans quietly into my mouth and I pick up the pace with the strokes. She kisses my neck, leaving another hickey to cover but it feels too good to complain about. I use my other hand to hold her hip as she moans into my neck and shoulder. Before we know she's using her hand moaning into an orgasm as I pull my hand of her, she puts it in my mouth and then kisses me. "Swear you get hotter every time"
"Your neck will need a band-aid" She touches where she did it and I turn around to the mirror.
