After Harvey, his friend and me walked back to the sorority house, we went to the kitchen where there were over half a dozen half full/empty liquor bottles trashed all over. I grabbed the closest one to me and poured some into three cups and mixed it with Diet Coke. It was around 2:30 am, we'd just sat down and began to talk. We court up on each others lives talked about the highs and lows, Harvey and i both struggle with our mental health and often joke that we only became friends through it.
"So why are you even in Miami" i asked him raising my eyebrows with a jokey accusatory tone as if he has copied me by moving here.
"Well you know how we used to mess around at parties we weren't invited to," i nodded because it feels like it was yesterday now I'm with him, " i was at one in LA that Stacey dragged me to for support cos she was meeting some guy she'd been talk'n to" Stacey was my best friend and still is we'd grown up together and we had a bond similar to Harvey we were sisters.
"Some guy from LA ...that's not like Stacey to travel cross country for a boy" i said trying to hide my tipsy, childish grin from the boys.
"Anyway, i met this amazing artist there we got talk'n and he told me all bout his music career, i told him how i have done some producing/ mixing but nothin special, he told me to come to Florida in march so i did I've been living here since, yk he's been helping me with my music and stuff."
"MARCH.... YOUVE BEEN HERE SINCE MARCH... two months and what just haven't come to see me" i was annoyed but for some reason it just came of sassy.
We carried on chatting about the future he was telling me how he's planing on staying here for sometime messing with music and stuff. Then the convocation turned to me,i had thought about what i was gonna do after graduation at the end of may but i just wanted to stay in florida the thought of going back home made me almost cry, i love my mom but there's nothing there for me i need to live for a few more years at least.
"Why don't you move in with me" my neck almost snapping from how fast i turned my head.
" what... really"
"Yeah I've been look'n for a roommate away"
" oh my god I'm gonna move in with you" i said jumping up and clapping.
Soon after we made the extremely spontaneous decision to move in together the girls tumbled in giggling, i did have some FOMO but the time i spent catching up with the guys was worth whatever I missed anyway i'd spend almost the last 4 years with these girls and had many laugh-attacks with them. No doubt I'll miss them once i leave collage but I'm ready for the new chapter of my life to start.
"Ohhhhh... so that's why you rushed home" Becky, one of the girls said rising her eyebrows to insinuate something dirty had taken place when they were out. "I mean I don't blame you they're both hot. If i had the chance i would to" The girls and me all stared giggly at her immature statement.
" Who said you don't have a chance" Harvey snapped back with a light smile on his face. Becky blushed then gesture for him to go over with her finger. Harvey jumped out of his seat and without hesitation they ran upstairs to the room she shared with one other girl. It's safe to say that the girl she shared with slept on the sofa that night.

Two weeks later, 3 days after graduation I found myself putting boxes into Harveys car it came round so much faster than I thought it would . It wasn't to long of a drive a couple of hours maybe. I thought to pass sometime I'd call my mom, I'd told her i was staying in Florida a bit longer but not that i was moving in with my childhood best friend, or that I'd be staying there for at lest 4 months. I figured she wouldn't be to mad more sad that I couldn't see her for so long. I did feel bad but she had her boyfriend so i guessed she wouldn't get lonely without me.
The call lasted 15 minutes she was excited, more than i thought she was gonna be it almost felt like she wanted me gone.The rest of the time was spent listening to music, mostly Harveys friends stuff which he just told me that the next day Pouya was having a party. A mix of adrenaline and anxiety rushed through me.Having to meet new people wasn't the worst for me its more the fear of getting completely wasted and embarrassing myself, no doubt I'd do since I don't have the best self-control skills.He tried to reassure me that i'd be fine because people would be fucked up form drugs and my chaotic habits would blend in.
We arrived at his apartment and he gave me a little tour it was a nice apartment on the 3rd floor out of 5. The kitchen was on the right as you walk in, the tv room was opposite the door and had a large wind which was the first thing you saw as you walked in the apartment. Down the right of the hall way was the bathroom and my room, Harvey had clearly tried to make it homely by adding some pictures of us as kids and flowers, i found it cute that he had put in so much effort for me. His room was down the left of the hall he told me that it had a ensuite with. Shower so the main bathroom was pretty much just mine.
After we unpacked most of mu boxes we were tired so we ordered food, we spend like 5 minutes choosing because of how similar we are we like the same food making life x10 easier. I hopped in the shower and got in some comfy cloths. We picked a movie then the food came, soon after i went to bed, scrolled on tik tok for some time then blackout around 1 am.
