Come And Save Me, Tonight.

Movin' Out

It took a few days, but I packed up all my stuff, and loaded it into my little mini cooper. Stevem said he would come by in a little bit to pick up some of the boxes that wouldn't fit into my car. I called Lauren a day or two ago, and told her everything. 

"So, you're moving in together?!" Lauren giggled and screeched on the phone.

"Yeah, I mean, not gonna lie, I'm freaking out a little, but I'll be fine. I'm happy with him." I smiled

"Well that's awesome!" She giggled

"Yeah, I just feel bad about leaving you on your own." I sighed a little

"Uhm.... Mia, there's something I should tell you.." Lauren paused

"Oh no.. What?" I mocked

"I'm... uhm... I'm moving in with Joe. He asked me a little while ago, and I've been trying to find the perfect way to tell you. I felt bad because I didn't want to leave you with all the rent by yourself." She sounded a little worried

"Ahh Lauren! That's awesome! Oh my god! So how have you guys been?" I was giddy with excitement

"He's amazing, oh my god I'm in love. He's been nothing but kind, and sweet, and funny. Oh, and Mia, let me tell you. He gives a whole new meaning to 'freak in the sheets'!" She laughed, and I rolled my eyes "I really do think I love him."

"That's fantastic. I'm so happy for you! So, I guess, should I try to sell the apartment? Or should I call the landlord?" I asked

"Oh don't worry about it, darlin', I got it covered. The landlord is an old friend of mine, that's how I've been getting this place kinda cheep. He'll understand." She laughed. "But, hey, I gotta go. We'll all get together soon and have a small house warming party, okay?"

"Okay." I giggled "Love you, slut."

"Love you too, freak!" She hung up. 

I got up and went into my little recording studio. I shut the door behind me, burned some insence, and sat down, shutting my eyes. I tried to empty my mind, and spend the last bit of time I had here, in my favorite place. I was going to miss this studio. More than anything. This was my sanctuary. 

A little while later, the door creeked open, and Steven popped his head in. 

"Ahh, I figured I'd find you in here." He smiled.

"Yeah," I sighed. "I'll miss this, more than anything though."

"I know. I'm sorry, Baby." He came over and sat down, putting him arm around me. 

"Well... We should get going. It's time to Move Out." I chuckled, hoping he would get the joke.

"Ha-ha-ha. Very funny" He smiled

"You're not the only one who can use your songs and lyrics to get what you want. I think I'm funny, making jokes and what not." I giggled, and kissed him.

We walked, hand in hand, out of the apartment for the last time. As we got into the car, and I drove away, I was actually happy to be leaving. Of course I'd miss the studio, and living only a few floors away from Patrick. But I was starting a new life, with Steven. And that's all that mattered to me.
