The Butterfly Effect

Chapter 19 (Final)

Nova
It's been a week and a half since everything happened and today was the day I was leaving for boarding school. I had everything packed and ready to go. When I told my friends that I was leaving I left out the part about Amir.

Maria was really confused about why I wanted to go but didn't ask too much because she could tell I didn't want to talk about it. But they all planned to do something with me before I left as a surprise but I ended up finding out because they forgot to take me out of the group chat. I was excited and sad at the same time because this was the last time I would be seeing them in person for a long time.

      My flight didn't leave until later on tonight so I had plenty of time to hang out considering it was still morning. But I've been having trouble sleeping for a while, so I bought some melatonin gummies to help me sleep. They've helped me go to sleep but not so much with the nightmares so far I've had 3 nightmares one ending in a panic attack.

     But since I'm going to be far away from Amir I pray they won't be as bad. It comforted me knowing Amir won't be able to even be near me when I get to boarding school.

      I get ready for my day taking a shower and doing my hygiene routine. Packing up all the rest of the little things that I had to use before I could fully pack. Since this was going to be a party I wanted to dress up. So I left out a white dress for me to wear, making sure to leave out some comfortable clothes to change into when I get on the plane.

  I wore my hair in a curly Afro since I planned to get my hair done when I got there. I couldn't find anyone quick enough to do it beforehand. But I've gotten used to doing my hair so I wasn't too bothered.

        I do some light makeup adding lashes to my look, lining my lips with brown lip liner adding gloss over it I loved this lip look. I put on some gold jewelry and some brown sandals calling my dad to help me take all my stuff to the car. After the party, I had to go straight to the airport.

     Once we got done moving everything I stop to look around my room taking in the fact that this was going to be the last time I see it in 2 years.

      "Goodbye for now," I say letting out a sigh.

      I walk downstairs to my parents panicking making sure I got everything.

       "Okay honey everything's ready we'll see you at the airport make sure you get there at 7 you have to be an hour early."my mom says.

    "Okay, mom."

    "You have fun with your friends okay," she says with a smile.

    "I will." I smile

     "Aww come here I can't believe my banana is leaving me." She says pulling me into a hug.

      "Mom you'll see me at the airport and you haven't called me banana since I was 5."I laugh.

     "Whatever, be safe."

       I nod and my dad waves me goodbye yelling see you at the airport. My dad was never the lovey-dovey type but I knew he felt the same way my mom did, he just didn't want to show it. I get into my car wave back and pull out following the directions to the address Maria sent me.

      I'm still having trouble accepting my reality, I was still in a bit of denial about my situation. I can't believe one boy ruined my  life so badly I had to leave. But you don't have to leave, you're just a coward. My inner voice says, she always haunted me when thinking about what had happened. She was the type to be blunt and honest, she was beating me up about leaving everyone. Both she and Daisuke were right, I'm running away from my problems and not facing them. But I don't think I could ever face them, at least not right now.
