I made a big mistake, I couldn't hide it forever it eventually had to come out.
"And you didn't tell me sooner! you're leaving in a month Jules and your bloody moving across the fucking country!"
Theodore stood up from his bed and pinched his nose, his frustration rippling through him like a volcano that just erupted.
"This is why I didn't tell you! you always over react and I hate it!"
I leaned forward trying not the slap his face off in one big slap.
"We were gonna not go to college and continue to make music together, be the stars we wanted to be growing up, why did you keep this from me?!"
he clenched his fist and jaw causing him to look like he was about to explode either into tears or more anger
"I'm not throwing my life away for a music career that won't even reach the surface of the internet, fuck this! I'm leaving don't text me or call!"
I slam the door behind me and run out his family's house onto the neighbourhood road. "Julie! Jules!" I could hear him yelling desperately from his bedroom window, I cared and felt bad but anger makes you do crazy things.
As I got home I laid on my bed starfish pose and realised what I had done, was I gonna apologise? No. Me and Theo had never ever had a fight that wasn't fixed...that will just happen again right? I grab my pillow, screaming into it letting out my anger and my thoughts in a quick ripping off a bandage way.
I lift my head up and stare at my halfway packed suitcase full of clothes and books and groan. I slam my head back onto my bed and sighed. What was I ever gonna do? I couldn't just stay here, I already got accepted to Stanford I couldn't just give that up, student debt will be worth the education.
I grab the letter from my bedside table and read through it to calm me down at least for the moment.
