I zipped my suitcase with a sigh and turned to look at my mother. "Are you sure, you're okay with me leaving now?" I asked her again for the tenth time already, I didn't want to leave now when her and my dad were still distant. After he left, he contacted my mother and wanted some space so he can figure things out.

He said that he wasn't ready to commit to her yet, he wanted to remember some things before and to do that he wanted some space. To say my mother was devastated was an understatement.

"Yes, I'm sure. If you're not happy here I can't do anything about it. I don't want to force my daughter to be in a place she's not comfortable in anymore." I gave my mother a sad smile as we pulled each other into a tight hug.

"I love you so much mom, I promise to keep in touch with you. I want you to be there when my baby is about to be born. I want you to be the first person to see him or her." I told my mother as we slowly pulled away from each other.

"Of course I'll be there, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Now come on, you're going to miss your flight." I grabbed my hand baggage and walked with her out of my room, slowly closing the door when something caught my eyes. "Honey, are you okay?"

I pushed the door to get inside again and walked toward a picture of Kieran and I when we were fourteen, both of us with a big grin on our faces. He had his arms wrapped around me as we both smiled for the camera.

I sighed and shook my head, my hand moving back and forth as to pick it up but I was deciding against it at the same time. I ended up picking it up and slid it in my hand bag, turning around with a nod. "I'm ready now."

We left the house and went to the airport, my mother driving me there. I looked at the time and saw that we had plenty of time left. I leaned my head against the window and closed my eyes, my mind wandering over every memory I had in this town.

I was leaving a lot behind but I had nothing to lose. That's what you think A voice said in the back of my mind and I sighed deeply. I'm doing the right thing, maybe not the best thing but the right thing.

My mother parked the car in front of the airport and I got out, closing the door as I walked to the trunk. My mother helped me with my suitcase and I thanked her, watching as she closed the trunk and walk inside with me.

We did everything we had to do and now we only had to wait. "You already checked in now all we have to do is wait. I'm going to miss you so much." Here goes the waterworks again, I'm going to miss her too. A lot. We pulled each other into a hug again and stayed like this for a few moments.

"Hello. Passengers of flight 17....." At the name of my flight I pulled away from my mother and sighed deeply. "This is it." I squeezed her hands tightly and with a pain in my heart I grabbed my hand baggage and smiled at her. "I'm going to miss you so much." I hugged her quickly before pulling away.
