Just You Is Enough

New Year

I know that in the first place, they won't like it. But this is the only thing that I think is the best for us right now. James and I need space.

"No, definitely no." said dad.

"But dad, I need this and James as well." I beg

"Honey, I know the both of you and I know that you guys will sort this one. Maybe not now but eventually I know you will." Mom said while holding my hands.

"Please mom, dad you need to understand me. I can't do this anymore. I can't celebrate New Year here with James like I don't exist. It hurts so much. Just give me this one please."

They both look at each other and sigh.

"It's hurting us also baby, seeing the both of you not talking to one another. We are your parents and we know you both very well. Even if you two were already married or have some kids, you guys were still our babies." I nod at my dad getting his point and smiled at him weakly.

"I'm sorry if James and I ruined your New Year."

"No, we are family here. There is nothing we can't handle." My mom smiled at my dad's words.

"So, you guys letting me go now?" I ask them.

"Even if I don't like it, I will let you go because that's what you need."

I hug both of them and thank them.

"So, Luke is coming to pick you up?" Mom asked.

"No, I'm on my own now. I don't want to ruin his time with his family. I'll be just on my flat on new year's eve."

"Just always remember that this house is yours also okay?" I nod at my mother.

"I know, please don't tell James why I'm not going to spend my New Year's Eve in here because I don't want him to think that it's his fault."

"You're such a good kid Sam. We are so proud of you." said daddy.

I left the house after talking to my parents. It's hard that it had to end that way, this is going to be my first time being away with my family in new year but it's better to be like this than be there knowing that someone hates to see you right?

After a couple of hour, I finally reached my apartment. I bought some food along the way for dinner because I'm not in the mood to cook right now. I called my parents just to tell I'm home.

Luke also called asking me if I'm fine, I have no intention on telling him that I left home. If I tell him that, I know that he'll be here in a heartbeat and I know that it does not right knowing his having a great time with his family right now.

It's New Years Eve tomorrow and here I am, all alone. Maybe I'll just go at the park to watch some fireworks tomorrow. Yeah, that would be great and after that I'll go to my favorite café to have some nice cup of cappuccino and a slice of cake.

I looked at my wall clock to see that it's already ten in the evening; I think I should call it a night. I turned off my music, brushed my teeth, took a shower, brushed my hair and change into pajamas. I turn the lights off and prayed.

The next morning, I woke up annoyingly because of my phone. I rolled my eyes to see its Ethan.
"Hello, what the hell?"I mumbled. I can hear him chuckled.

"Red days huh? I see." He asked.

"No I'm not and why are you calling early in the morning?"

"You haven't checked your clock yet? It's already noon Sam." I turn to see the clock and he's right. I slept till noon!
