(btw picture is what scarlet wore the day spencer leaves for college)

I was helping spencer carry his bags to the car, shutting the trunk. He would of course have to leave his motorcycle here, for he didn't have a place to put it.

He was leaving in fifteen minutes, my hair was still soaked from going to the beach.

Spencer would show his parents around another time, for he had too much shit to do before his first class back.

"Have your parents told you if you can go or not?" He asks, leaning against the car.

"No they haven't, I should probably go ask them." I laugh, hoping and praying my mama and bruce have thought it over.

I run to my house, opening the door and finding them both in the kitchen, eating pizza. "Mama have you decided if I could go yet?" I ask with a smile on my face.

"I'm sorry scarlet." My smile fades. How could she do this to me? She knows how much spencer means to me and how much it would hurt to lose him, she knows the cost of not having him around, things won't work out.

"Mom-" I'm at a loss for words. "Mom how could you do that to me?! You know how much he means to me!" Tears prick at the corners of my eyes.

"Scarlet-"

"No mom!" I turn to Bruce. "How could you!" I yell in his face. "You both know how much he means to me! You know I can't risk losing him." Tears spill from my eyes, rolling down my cheeks.

"I hate you both!" I scream, standing in the doorway, shaking.

"Go to your room right now!" My mother yells at me. I look up in disbelief. How could she treat me like a child, in just a few months, I'll be 18.

I stomp up the stairs and slam my door shut. That's definitely not how I planned that to go.

I turn away from the door. My jaw dropped as I saw suitcases full of clothes, all over my bed. I screamed in excitement.

I ran to my closet, pulling open the door. It was empty, she packed all my clothes. I heard the door creak open. "I decided to let you go, one; because you're almost 18 and its probably where you would've gone if I didn't let you go, two; you and spencer definitely are in love and I didn't wanna ruin that. You can also thank Bruce." I wrapped my arms around my mother.

"I'm sorry I said I hated you, I was just angry but holy shit thank you for this." then rushing down the stairs to tell spencer the news.

I run out the front door yelling Spencer's name, he smiles at me and I jump into his arms, wrapping my body around him. "I CAN GO" I scream as tears of joy roll down my cheeks.

"I'm so happy you could go. This is going to be a lot of fun." He says and I feel him kiss my temple.

"Me too." I agree, still not letting go of him. He spins me around a few times before heading to thank my parents.

I walk with him, wanting to grab my bags also. He thanks them as I bring all my bags downstairs. "Can I put these in the car?" He nods his head and continues his speech about how he loves me and now them for letting me go.

My parents walk spencer and I out as we take the bags to the car. "Check in one of your suitcases when you get to the apartment, we bought a gift for you" my mother kisses my cheek and hugs me.

My little brother stands next to Bruce. "Hey," I bring him in for a hug and bend down next to him. "I'm gonna miss you." We both start crying and Bruce laughs.

"We've never seen this! They always argue." Chris and I hug as spencer talks to his family.

"Babe we gotta go." He breaks my brother and I up, I wave to him as I get in the car.
