I read the words on the ticket "outer banks"
I searched it up and saw that it's mainly hot and located close to the beach.The beach is my favorite place, it's why I look forward to summer every year. If I'm feeling down I usually go to the beach to get my mind off things.

I go through my drawers and pick out some summer outfits mostly swimsuits, shorts and some tops and t-shirts. I zip up the duffel bag and lock my bedroom door.

I move my desk, chair in front of the window and sit down . I take the pack of cigarettes i have in my pocket and take one out and light it up.

I started smoking about 3 months ago when my best friend died.Her name was Kiana.She died from a car crash. She could have made it if the ambulance hadn't  come 20 minutes later than it was supposed to.

I put out the cigarette and head to the bathroom to take a shower .

i close the door behind me and turn on the water. I let my clothes fall to the floor.I step in the shower the water hitting my face . I try to relax but  the realization of what's about to happend hit me like a truck.

i'm leaving tomorrow and not coming back for 3 whole months. I'm going to meet my dad and brother again after almost a decade.

What the fuck

well it may not be that bad i say trying to convince myself .

I rinse off the shampoo, step out the shower and grab a towel and wrap it around my body. I head back to my room. I put on some shorts and a t-shirt and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I pick up my phone and open it to check the time that i'll need to be at the airport tomorrow

5am.

fuck

that means i'll need to be there at 4 and that's in 5 hours.

i put my phone done on my bedside table. I continue to stare at the ceiling of my room until i drift to sleep
