"What are you talking about?" I breathed softly as the news sunk in. Tears filled my eyes stinging slightly. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"It's not far baby," my father said softly.

"It's not that far? Are you kidding me?" I hissed. "I'm due in a little over a month dad. And its not that far?"

"Elaynnah I'm sorry but I have to they transferred me sweetie it's out of my control," he offered soothingly.

"Well tell them you can't take it," I barked clearly upset.

"Its only an hour away, It wont seem like that far."

"He's in school which means I'll only see him on weekends if I'm lucky. His child won't know him. How could you do this?" I snapped. I stood up and walked away from my father. I couldn't have this conversation. Tears streamed down my face as I made my way to my room. I couldn't face Tristin like this not tonight. That night I cried myself to sleep.

 I paced outside on my porch three days later. Tristin still had no clue I know I'm a horrible person. I just couldn't bring myself to say it. School started tomorrow and I needed to tell him. He deserved to know.  My hands shook nervously as I waited for him to show up. My heart sank when I saw his car turn onto my road. It was now or never.

I attempted to steady my hands as he pulled into the driveway. I fought back my tears as he smiled at me. Oh god what was I supposed to say? How was he going to react? To think that I was worried about him spending a little less than eight hours away from me at school seemed so silly now.

"Hey babe," Tristin smiled kissing me gently as soon as he got to me.

"Tristin I have to tell you something kind of important," I breathed quietly. Apparently he didn't hear a thing. he walked into my house and froze. Well I guess that would tell him. in my living room there were several boxes already packed away. Stuff we didn't need for the next few weeks.

"Whats going on?" Tristin choked out.

"My dad got transferred to a few towns over Tristin, We move in two weeks."

"What?" He said slighly dazed dropping to his knees.

"I'm so sorry Tristin," I breathed kneeling beside him.

"You can't go," he said quietly. "You can't leave me Elaynnah."

"Tristin I would never leave you," I breathed tilting his head towards me. "Trust me this it not my choice."

"But I love you,"he said tears starting to fill his eyes making my heart clench.

"I promise I will come back as much as I can. I don't have school so it shouldn't be so bad," I promised. "It's only for a year . Until I turn eighteen." I tried to help him up off the floor but he wouldn't move. It was like he was super glued to my living room floor.

"Move in with me then," Tristin said hopefully.

"You know I can't do that,"  I sighed. "Look Tristin I'm have to go with my dad I'll get a job and save up money for an apartment and as soon as your done school we can start looking for a place ok?"

"What's wrong with my place?" he asked softly

"Tristin I couldn't do that to your grandmother plus technically I'm still a minor if my father doesn't want me to move out I really can't especially when I have a baby," I breathed.

"When I'm done school then?" He asked I nodded.

"I'll write to you all the time. We can text, face chat and I can come down here and you can come up there. It'll be ok we can do this," I smiled at him weakly.

"Every weekend. From Friday until Sunday."

"Yeah every weekend," I breathed kissing him softly. "I promise."
