I put my last shirt in my fourth suitcase as Ayden sat on my bed. All of my others things were already gone. I looked around at my empty room. I closed it, zipped it up and laid out on my floor. I didn't want to get up. Specifically I didn't want to look at Ayden. I knew he was crying. I just wanted to be strong. I seen Ariella and Some of the others yesterday. I insisted they not come, but they did. And I cried.
I had one and a half hours left. 90 minutes. I spent at least an hour lying on that floor. I thought about all the bullshit I've been through the past couple of months. I thought about Ayden.
Ayden: I love you.
He spoke tiredly. He thought about me too. I smiled at the thought. I sat up and moved the suitcase over then patted the floor next to me. He looked to me and got the hint. He got up and laid next to me pulling me into his arms. I felt the tears start to pour and fill a spot on Ayden's T-shirt. I didn't want to cry though. I pulled myself together. There was nothing left to do. I didn't want to make it harder for me to leave Ayden and I didn't want to make it harder to say good bye. I knew just laying here with him would make it hard to get up. But this was seriously it. I was starting a new life in -
Voice: Cali! Its time to go!
-Now... I picked up my suitcase and left Ayden to follow me out the house. He did. We didn't speak. I just put my stuff in the trunk and walked to Ayden. He smiled at me and I let another tear slip. which I hated myself for doing. I shook my head and looked down at my feet. I didn't want this to be the end. But it was. Ayden opened the car door for me and I slid into the passenger seat. He closed it and I let out a slight smile to say "Goodbye." Then the car started off. This was the end. I looked back at Ayden. He was walking the opposite was home, hands in his pockets. I put my headphones in. Jack and Jack played in my ears. "Distance" was on. I thought about how old this song was, I tuned in at the chorus. Gilinksy started singing "So what do we do now? Everything we built, we broke. Its all shattered and broken. I can't get you out of my head. It's all fallin' down, time that we get going. I thought you were the one." Great song to leave an entire story behind right? I guess I have a new story to write now.
