"I can't believe you!" My mom yelled as I walked in the door. Sam must've told her. Idiot. "Stephanie! After you promised me....you went off with him! That's it, the only place you're going is school and home!" She yelled. Man, I fucked up with her. I did promise her I would never go back to him. "I am so ashamed in you! This time you knew better, I won't feel bad for you when he totally abandons you and breaks your heart!" She continued. "I'm sorry, but I'm in love with him and I have been for 2 years" I said as I made my way to my room. "No! You told me you were so over him and you hated him! Why would you still be in love with him after he did all that to you?! Stephanie, you're young, you don't know what true love is. What you have with Jimmy, is the complete opposite. It's toxic. I thought you learned from your mistake, but apparently you didn't" she said as she put dishes away furiously. "I'm sorry." I said again. "No you're not! What do you think the tabloids will say?! Huh?! When they see him with you again, my god they'll totally attack you again. I'm not going through that again!" She said. "I spent tons of money for you to go to therapy and get better all for you to throw away!" She yelled. "Just shut up!" I yelled. She stopped and looked at me with anger filled eyes. "You don't tell me to shut up!" She said. I rolled my eyes, I don't wanna go through this with her. "I'm almost 18! I can do what I want, I'll be leaving in less that a year, you have got to let go of me and let me do what I want!" I yelled. "Almost! You are ALMOST 18! You don't know what you want!" She protested. "WHAT I WANT IS TO LEAVE AND THATS WHAT IM GONNA DO!" I screamed and slammed my door shut. I let a big breath. What have I done? No time to think about it. I stumbled to my closet and got out my secret box that is full of money. I had over 3,000 dollars saved from working. I put the box in my purse. I grabbed at hat and opened my door. My mom was there. "Stephanie...." She said. "No" I said and made my way to the front door. I took one look and then closed the door.
When I got down to the lobby, I pulled out my phone and dialed Jimmy's number. "Sorry, but this number had been disconnected" the voice machine said. "Dammit" I muttered. Now what? I do know where he lives. I hesitated and then walked out the door.
As I walked towards the bus stop, I contemplated. Will my mom ever be able to forgive me? Probably not. I quickly got on the bus and sat in the first chair. I stared out the window and thought. When the bus got to the stop that's near Jimmy's, I gathered my bag and got off. I checked my phone, it was 10:00. I made my way for Jimmy's apartment building. I made my way up he elevator and got off on Jimmy's floor. So many memories hit me as I stood in the hallway of his apartment building. The dinner party I went to, the sneaking off, the just hanging out. All of it hit me like a train. I slowly walked to his door, it was like I didn't have to walk, my legs knew the way without thinking. I took a deep breath and knocked. The door and opened and Jimmy was behind it. "Oh my god" I said as I hugged him. He hugged me back and closed the door. "What are you doing here?" He asked confused. I sat my bag down. "My mom found out, because Sam told her after he stormed off. She yelled at me and.....we're just not on good terms right now" I said. "You're boyfriend is such a dumbass" Jimmy said as he motioned me to the couch. "Ex-boyfriend and yeah I know" I said. "Here, let me get you water" he said as he made his way to the kitchen. I looked around. The apartment hadn't changed much since I was last In it. That made me feel good. "here" he said as he handed me a glass of water. "Thanks" I said before I golfed it down. "Honestly, Sam did nothing wrong. He was good to me and really helped me when I was depressed" I said. "Sorry for calling him a dumbass" Jimmy said. I smiled at him. "It's fine......" I said as a yawned. "You look tired" he said as he stroked my face. "I am" I said. "Can I borrow some pajamas?" I asked. "Of course! My house is your new house" he said. "I'll be back!" He said as he went to his room. He came back a minute later with a shirt and pants. "Here, these are a little small on me." He said as he handed them to me. "Thanks" I said and then went to the bathroom to change. He had given me a blue Yankees shirt with grey sweats to "match." They were baggy, but comfortable and smelt like him. I washed my face and all the makeup off and gathered my clothes. "You look adorable" Jimmy said as I walked out. "Shut up" I Said as I sat down next to him. "You do!" He said. "Whatever" I smirked back. "So....do you wanna have the bed and I'll sleep in the guest room or....I just wanna make you feel safe and comfy" Jimmy said. I looked at him. He was so cute. "I think I'll sleep in your room and you can, too" I said. He raises his eyebrows and smiled. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Very" I said and then grabbed him and led him to the bedroom. As I got comfortable in his bed, I realized he hadn't changed the comforter. It was the same. I smiled to myself. "I missed this" Jimmy suddenly said as we lay there. "Me too" I said back. He rolled near me a and put his arm around me and pulled me close. "I'm sorry, I can't help it" he said in my ear. "Don't be" I said as I cuddled him back. My eyes fluttered as they got more and more tired. "Goodnight" I muttered. "Goodnight, Stevie" he said. I fell asleep to the sound of him breathing, in and out, slow and relaxed. The way I remembered.
