Nothing Without You

Chapter 2*

When I woke up I woke up to clothes all around me and I was very confused until I remember all what happened last night. As all the memories came flooding back from last night I got out of the closet and went to change into something to make myself look decent. I still hated my parents for sending me to school but I couldn't stop them. When I was about to leave the room my mom was in front of my door with boxes and tape. I knew what was about to happen.

"You ready to start packing?" She asked. I really wanted to say no but then I saw my dad with a few boxes in his hand and looking at me with a stern look on his face. So I had no other choice but to say yes. "Sure" I said and sighed. My mom's head looked up and smiled. I couldn't believe that she was actually excited to let me off to collage. Most parents are crying and telling their kids ' you know you don't really have to go ' type thing. 

After about 3 hours my whole room was packed. All I had was the bed sheets on my bed a few clothes to last me 4 days until I had to leave, and my necessities like tooth brush, hair brush etc. I looked around my empty room and was so sad and disappointed that I was leaving it. I looked out my window to see Toms house, I saw Nikki in her garden and Paddy and Dom playing football in the front. It was so hard on me having to leave this place and having to go somewhere that was completely new and somewhere that I did not want to be at. 

~~~ 3 days later ~~~

Today was my final day here, I was leaving tomorrow at 2 in the afternoon. The truck was coming an hour before we had to leave. I didn't want to leave this place, it had so many good memories and so many good friends. I haven't told anyone yet, I really don't want to tell them. I want to say goodbye of course but I just can't be dealt with the guilt look they will give me for not standing up to my parents. 

~~~ The Next Day ~~~

I was leaving today. I really didn't want to, the truck gets here in an hour so that leaves me 2 hours to go and kill some time. I have decided that I would go to my favorite arcade that Tom and I would go to all the time when we were in school. I decided to go to the piano game to recall some of the memories of me and Tom playing it together. A few tears were shed then I got the text from my dad saying that I needed to get back to the house to help move my boxes into the truck. 

Once I got back to the house I started helping put all the boxes in the truck. We got all the boxes in the truck and I closed the door. I looked over at the Hollands house to see Tom in the driveway with a confused and saddening look on his face. I looked at him and nodded then got into the backseat of my parents car as they drove me to the airport. I was crying and was looking down at my phone as I saw that Tom, Haz, and Kate all were texting me in the group chat asking me where I was going. All I could do is turn my phone off and start crying more. I looked at my parents and they were smiling like they were about to go see someone that they haven't seen in years. 

When we got to the airport I got my carry on and looked at my parents then turned around to go to my gate. My dad instantly yelled "Young lady you get your ass back here and say goodbye" My dad said. I knew the perfect come back, this would be the one and only time that I would stand up to my parents since I was leaving. "No! You are making me leave to go to a collage that I don't want to go to!! I am not saying bye!! Once I leave I am never talking to you again!" I said. It did draw some attention but I didn't care. My dad started to walk over to me and tried to grab my arm before a security guard came over and asked "Is this man bothering you mam?" "In fact yes he is" I said and looked straight at my dad. 

My dad and mom were escorted to their car and I went off to my gate. I looked at my phone to see over 55 text messages from the group chat. I opened it up and told them that my parents are making me going to a collage in America and that I was already at the airport. 

Tommy 

Aurelia, why did you not stand up to them? It's your life stop letting them control you.nI could come pick you up right now!!!

KAT

Yeah, come on Aurelia! Stop letting them control you.

Haz

Guys we all know that she's not going to let you. 

 Aurelia     

 I'm sorry but I can't I already have all my stuff packed and getting sent over there. We can still talk while I am there tho!!     

I decided that it would be best if I just turned my phone off. I know I could've taken Tom up on that offer but he is right next door to my parents I wouldn't even be able to look at them if they found out.

The plane ride wasn't horrible it took forever to get to Harvard. The apartment isn't bad but it's missing things, I am just not sure what yet.

_____________

That's it for this chapter. It is shorter than I wanted it to be because the computer i was writing on died and it is going to take a while to charge. That's it for today! Who knows you might get 2, 3, or even 4 more chapters tomorrow. You never know what could happen!!
