Leaving Nebraska

I'm finishing up labeling and taping the boxes closed when my mom knocks on the door and peeks her head into my room from the door. '' Hey honey I was just wondering if you need any help packing some things or moving things down to the van?'' my mom said. '' No mom I think I've got everything I need''. '' Okay, wow I can't believe that this is our last night in Nebraska." Me neither." Well are you sure you don't need anything?" Yes." Okay Just let me know" Okay." So the moving van is supposed to meet us in Texas." I know". Okay okay. I'll get out of your hair.'' Thank you.'' My mom finally left so I texted my best friend Shanita.

Me: Hey girl, hey

Shanita: Lol. Hey, what's up?

Me: I am so stressed and sad.

Shanita: Yeah me too.

Me: Why you?

Shanita: Because you are leaving to Texas.

Me: Oh right. I try not to think about it that much.

Shanita: Me too. I am gonna miss you so much.

Me: Well at least I'm not moving to Mexico or Canada 'cause then we couldn't keep in touch.

Shanita: True. I just wish you could stay.

Me: Me too. I'm gonna miss you!

Shanita: Me too!

Me: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ' (

Shanita: Hey I gtg. Gotta go baby sit.

Me: K, bye.

I got off the phone with Shanita and decided to talk to my boy friend James. James is 18 like me, short sorta curly hair, 6 feet,is black,he's stong and muscular, and great face

Me: Hey babe.

James: Hello beautiful. How are you?

Me: Sad because I am moving tomorrow.

James: Me too. But I mean we can still text and call and face time each other.

Me: Yeah I guess you're right.

James: Hey do you think you can come over today?

Me: Yeah sure. What time?

James: Like now.

Me: Sure. I'll be there in a bit.

James: K. See you at my place.

Me: K. ttyl.

James: I love you

Me: Wait what?

James: I love you.

Me: Did you just say I love you?

James: Yes.

Me: You have no idea how much I am smiling right now!

James: I love you

Me: I love you too. See you there.

James: K. bye.

Me: Don't forget our anniversary is in two days

James: Yes mam

I thought to myself, he said I love you. He really said I love you. I can't stop smiling. I went down stairs to the Kitchen where I know my dad would be and told him I was going to Jame's house. I found my dad in the Kitchen making my little brother Mark a sandwich and I tried to creep past my dad very fast as I explained where I was going.

Me: "I'm going to go to Jame's house dad."

Mark: " Oohhhhh James your boyfriend" my little brother Mark teased as he made kissing sounds.
