I woke up. I started getting ready for school. When I was ready I get out of my room. Everyone were in the kitchen, eating
"Morning everyone" I said and I sat on the table
"Morning honey." my mum said to me
"Cara we need something to tell you." my dad said to me
"Don't tell her, he will freak out or she will escape from home." Philip said
"What? You are scaring me." I was surprised and upset
"Your dad got improvement in his job." my mum said
"OMG, that's awesome. Congratulations dad" I smiled to him
"and it's in Melbourne, we are going to live there" said Philip and I felt horrible
"No way, I am not going."
"Listen honey..." dad said
"I am not going to listen dad, I said I am not going" I stand up and I get out of the house. I get in the car. I felt horrible and I started crying. It can be happening. I can't go to live there. I started diving. I didn't knew where to go. I can't leave Michael, Ivy and everyone here.
What will I do now. I can't go to school, I don't have force to go and I don't know how will tell this to Michael. I just stop on one parking. In one moment I received a text. I took the phone, it was from Ivy.
Where are you? Your mum called, she told me everything and she is worried. Please call us and tell where are you. Mike is freaking out. And now, what? They know. Why is this happening?
I got text from Michael too
Baby please tell us where are you.
I called him and I told him that I am ok and I that I will go back at home to talk with my parents. I need to fix this. I stoped crying and I went home. My parents were there, Philip wasn't. He was in school
"Listen, I can't go in Melbourne. I can't leave this life and this place."
"Honey, we must go there. We need that work." said my dad
"Then I am not going."
"It can't be. You can't live here alone, you are too young" my mum said
"I can live in Nate's house." I just got an idea
"It can't be Cara. You will live with us, you are too young for that."
"Please..." I started crying
"I said no Cara. End of story" said my dad
"I hate you all." I went in my room and my mum went after me
"It's about Michael right?" she asked me
"Yes, but it's also about Ivy and everyone here. I can't imagine my life without them mum." I was crying
"Oh honey. I am so sorry. You'll find friend there and Luke is there too." she hugged me
"but Michael isn't."
"You can be still together" she said to me
"Please mum, we can't be and you know it. There isn't that kind of relationship."
"I am so sorry honey."
"When are we leaving?"
"In one week. We will pack our things. Dad already bought house there."
"What? One week?" I can't believe. "Don't tell me that you will sell this house"
"No, we won't" she smiled. At least they won't sell the house.
My mum left me alone. I was holding my phone. I was planing to call Michael and to tell him about this. I called him.
"It's over Mike" I said to him
"No, it isn't. We can do that."
"We can't Mike." I was crying
"Meet me in the park"
"Ok"
I wash my face and I went to the park. Michael was already there. He hugged me and we were hugged a few minutes
"I'll go in one week" I said to him
"Then we'll be together all week." he kissed me
"and then?"
"Then you will learn to speak with me on camera and I will be in Melbourne every weekend."
"It can't be..."
"You don't believe in us"
"I believe in us, but there are 878 km between us." I made fake smile
"We love each other Cara, that's all it matter." hi kissed me again
"Ok, we'll try like that, but we need stronger connection Mike."
"I can't understand you" he made seriously face
"I want to spend night with you" I looked him in the eyes
"Are you sure?" he asked me
"Yeah, I am." and I kissed him
"Love you Cara"
"The most Mike"
"Lets call Luke, to tell him." he said to me
"Oh great idea. I hope I'll go in that school"
We called Luke and we told him. He was really surprised and very happy. He didn't want to show it because I'll be away from Michael. I am happy that he'll be there. I need that kind of friend there.We finished conversation with Luke and we spend some time together in the park.
When Ivy have finished with school, she came to the park. When I told her, she started crying. I will be far away from her too. I and not going to have my BFF by mi side anymore. I will be separated from my boyfriend and my best friend, then from my school and my friends. Great.When I got home, I saw that my mum already started with preparations. I didn't want to talk with nobody and I went to my room immediately. I wrote everything in my diary.
