Mayas POV

Once Andy left I walked back to my room, it wasn't late at all; just past lunch time.

Don't judge us for our wine use, one of the very few perks of being An adult

Carina was still under the covers on her phone, she didn't even turn to look at me

I slipped out of my clothes and lifted the blankets so I could get into bed behind her and held her against me

I felt her sigh and cut her phone off, relaxing into my hold

"Talk to me love... what's going on?" I ask softly and she takes a deep breath

"I need to tell you something and I need you not to get mad" she says and my mind immediately starts going to all the worse possibilities

"Okay" I say and she nods,

"My family is moving back to Italy" she tells me and I tighten my grip around her

"I'm sorry, when do they leave?" I ask, that's got to be hard for her but I don't understand why she would think I would get mad

"No Maya.... I have to go with them" she says and I release my hold and back away from her to sit up in bed

"What?" I ask,

"Why do you have to go with them?" I ask, none of this makes any sense, we were finally in a really good routine. We were doing great even with the small mishap with Ella

"Maya.... My mama and papa, and my stupid older brother... they're the only family I have... and, I can't stand up against them" she says, now sitting up and looking at me

"But you're an adult, you make your own decisions. Even if they move it doesn't mean you won't still see or talk to them... and what about school? And graduation?" I ask, my voice getting a little louder then I had Intended

"Maya you don't understand. Without my parents help I have nothing, my mama bought my car, I won't have a place to live when they leave.... Yes I have money saved up but not enough, especially since I'm working so little" she explains to me and I scoff

"And you're just not going to finish your senior year?" I ask and she sighs

"My mama set it up and I'll finish online and come back for graduation" she tells me and I get out of bed and run my fingers through my hair before sliding on one of my sweatshirts

"How long have you known?" I ask and she sighs

"How long carina?" I ask more firmly

"Only a month" she tells me and I laugh

"Only a month? You knew for a month and didn't think this would be something to tell me?" I ask and she doesn't respond

I closed my eyes and tried to calm Myself down

"So what? You coming over here today. Is this you ending things now?" I ask and she shakes her head and quickly gets out of bed to walk over to me

"No. Maya I don't want to end things," she tells me and I back away from her and watch as she gets dressed

"You're going to Italy carina, not just a trip but you're moving.... I can't do a long distance relationship" I tell her, I love her.  I do. But I can't do that. We both know it wouldn't work anyway

"What why?" She ask

"Because I can't, time differences, we would never see each other." I say

"But... Maya" she whispers

"No, no don't put that on me. You knew this would happen" I say angrily,  I was mad, not at her, or not completely at her but the situation, I knew how it felt to only do what your parents said

"I don't want to lose you" she tells me, her voice cracking as she spoke with tears in her eyes

I didn't have anything else to say, not about this situation anymore

"I need you to leave" I tell her.

"I need you to leave" I repeat, mostly to myself

"Maya no, you can't just throw me out" she says and I nod, taking another breath

"I'm going to walk into the bathroom and when I come out I want you gone"

Carinas POV

I couldn't stop the tears as Maya walked into her connecting bathroom, I just couldn't

I didn't want to lose her, but how am I supposed to choose between her and my family

And I know, that if I tried to stay I would lose it all, I wouldn't have a place to live

Maya knew in the beginning we wouldn't work out, I just didn't want to believe it then but I should have

Our age difference, I'm a teenager, an adult, but a teenager nonetheless

It wouldn't have worked anyway, I tell myself as I walk out of Mayas,

I got in the car and watched as she walked around inside, shutting all the blinds, Maya liked the natural sunlight so she kept them open,

I couldn't sit here anymore, she doesn't want me here

As soon as I got home I didn't even bother changing clothes or listening to what my mama had been saying, I just got into bed

I don't know how exactly I was planning that conversation to go but this wasn't it

Part of me thought Maya would be okay with it... I thought we would spend this next month together. And that we would talk all the time while I'm in Italy

Mayas POV

I know I hurt her feelings when I told her to leave but, how would she expect us to just go on like nothing is wrong

And the fact she knew for a month and didn't say anything

I needed time to me after this news, I thought we would be fine together, I thought she would graduate and we would be able to be an out couple

I was hopping to ask her to move in with me, to take this next step in our relationship

After she left I closed all of the blinds and called Andy, who of course said she would be here soon

I went and grabbed the bottle of wine Andy had got earlier and sat on the couch

Andy didn't even bother to knock, Guaranteed she never does

"What the hell happened?" She ask as she came in

"She's leaving, Italy" I tell her. Drinking again out of the bottle itself and Andy sits next to me

"What? When? Why?" She ask and I sigh

"Next month, and cause her family is going I guess" I say

"She doesn't want to stay?" Andy ask

"I guess not," I tell her

" Are you going to keep dating?" Andy ask and I shake my head

"I told her to leave" I say and Andy slaps my leg.

"Hey! What the hell, that hurt" I exclaim

"Maya what the fuck. Why would you tell her to leave?" Andy ask and I roll my eyes

"Because! Andy she is leaving! She's going to Italy, she didn't tell me, it's over" I say and get up off the couch and Andy follows me

"Did she say that? Did she say it was over?" Andy ask I groan

"No, I did" I tell Andy and she sighs and rolls her eyes

"For gods sake Maya, you could have tried, I see how in love with her you are." She says and I shrug

"It's over, so over"

Till next time❤️
