My Heart In Your Hands.

If I Leave This Way.

"What's going on Kari?" Ricky questioned. All of the Motionless guys, excluding Chris, along with Kuza, Louie, and Manny were sitting in my living room.

"Well, let me start with the fact that this wasn't an easy decision to make. I might regret this later but I think it's the best thing for me to do right now-" I started before Balz cut me off.

"Get on with it," he said, trying to hurry me along.

I sighed. "I'm going home."

"But you are home," Angelo piped up. I shook my head.

"No Ange, home to Texas," I said. Shock came across all of their faces. Except Manny. Her's was filled with hurt. "I think it's best for me to leave the situation for now."

She stood and walked away, going to her room and slamming the door shut. I jumped as Louie's eyes filled with worry.

"I did a lot of thinking and I think that I'll be happier there, away from Scranton for a while," I said. Understanding eyes soon all fell on me. I took that as a good thing and went to talk to Manny.

I knocked on her door lightly.

"Go away!" She yelled. I opened the door slightly and peeked in. She was sitting on her bed. I stepped in and closed the door behind me. "I can't believe you."

"What?" I questioned.

"You just decided to up and leave without taking anyone else's feelings into consideration," she said.

"I don't think I needed to take anyone's feelings into consideration except my own," I said, trying to sound reasonable.

"What about your friends here?" She said.

"I thought about how they would feel, Manny," I said.

"Really? Because if you did, you wouldn't be leaving," she said, her voice rising.

"This isn't about you guys Manny, it's about me. I'm not happy here. I'm thinking about myself for the first time in my life, do you realize that?"  I questioned, my voice rising slightly, as well.

"You're running away!" She yelled. "So fucking run, you're so good at it."

I laughed harshly at her. "Like you have room to talk. The only reason we ended up in this fucking town is because your boyfriend that you didn't give a shit about broke up with you and you had to leave from the guilt."

"You're doing the same thing you hypocrite!" She cried.

"No, I'm not. The difference is I actually give a fuck about Chris," I said.

"So tell him that! Stop assuming he doesn't want you and being childish and selfish and fucking tell him!" She yelled the loudest.

"I already did! I told him because you told me I should! That's what got me into this mess! If it weren't for you everything between Chris and I would be fine, and I wouldn't be leaving," I yelled. "So don't say I'm being selfish and childish for going, it's you're fault."

Shock filled her eyes, then anger. "Get out."

"Gladly," I said, walking out and going to my room. I was glad I had everything packed already. I was going to be leaving sooner than I thought.

The guys helped me jam everything in my little car and I bid my farewells to them. It was sad. I was going to miss them so much. I got in.

I was going to start a new life. I was leaving all of this behind, for the better.

Like I've always told myself, make yourself happy because at the end of the day, you're all you have. Live and let live, and always remember, nothing lasts forever.

I looked into my rearview mirror one last time for one last look at my old life. You'll never believe what I saw...

Perfectly drawn on eyebrows.
