Donut Love

Since our first date we've been spending more and more time together some at my house, some at his apartment watching movies and staying up late eating popcorn we have a lot I fun.

So far we have been dating for about six months now and I've been doing really good at work I know how to do every station with very little messes and screw ups. I slept at his house a few times but nothing bad happened he would sleep on one couch I was on the other. My parents didn't seem to mind though they liked tommy and so did I, he was very trusted. After all I was 20 years old now so I was able to make my own decisions.

He told me to come over that night and have dinner with him and when I got there he had everything set up and candles lit and it was very romantic in my perspective but after dinner we went in his room to watch a movie. He knows me so well he even picked out my favorite one "lifted". He fell asleep before the ending.

The next day, I woke up to find him serving me breakfast in bed. It would've been better if he knew how to make something other than bagels and toast, but it was still a cute morning. He dropped me off at work, he didn't have to come in till later when I got out.

When I got out of work I went home to find my parents sitting down at the table, they both had that look in their eyes. They told me to sit down so the could tell me some news. As soon as I sat down my mother looked down to her hands, which were neatly folded on the table. Dad looked at me with an expression I've never seen on him.

Finally I told them to just say it because we were sitting in silence for over five minutes now. Mom looked up at me and began to open her mouth to talk and she told me that, dad got a promotion. At first I was happy about it, well happy for him, until I heard the bad part.

The promotion was all the way in New York. We were moving. As soon as they told me my whole body went into shock I didn't know what to do or even what to say in a situation like this. what about Elijah I won't be able to see him ever.

Or I won't be with tommy anymore, everyone knows long distance relationships never work out, he would get bored of facetiming me every night and having me call and text him nonstop. We can't even be apart on different shifts at work and they are only eight hours each. let alone 24/7 I would never make it.

I wanted to beg my dad to not take the promotion but it might be taking something away from him. After I could process my thoughts, I went over to Elijah's house and found him taking a nap. I forcefully woke him up and sat on the end of the bed. He looked at me like I was going crazy or something but after I told him that they were making me move he had the same look on his face as I did

"It's an outrage" I said, I wanted to cry but I healed back the tears as much as I could. I turned to face him and he saw the sadness in my eyes, this is the place I've grown up and I know this town like the back of my hand. I've never lived any other place, I have never even moved before I was born in this town, it was my home. I didn't even want to see my parents for the rest of the day let alone talk to them.

I remember a few years ago we took a trip to New York just to see time square, it was so busy and there was so much traffic it took forever to get to places. Even walking to long. I stayed in my room for the rest of the night with a bag of potato chips and Netflix.
