Today was my last day, I was actually going to do this. I walked over to the living room where Zayn was just casually watching TV, not expecting anything. "Zayn?" I asked, afraid of what he might say. "Yea babe?" He said with a smile, god I loved him. "I found a house." I mumbled, looking down at my feet as he stood up. "Jay I told you a million times, you're more than welcome to stay here." He said. "No Zayn, I need to move, I- I got a job, and it pays well." I said, trying to form a smile. "When are you moving? I want to help." He said. "No, it's okay. Ill start packing and move everything today and... And you'll see me tomorrow, I-I" I took in a deep breath and continued. "I promise." I lied, I was about to cry, I had to get out of the situation, I can't handle this. "If it's what you really want." He said, giving me a gentle kiss on the cheek, I was going to miss him the most. "It is." I said, walking into the bedroom. I took out everything that belong to me and stuffed them in my luggage, crying in the process. I made sure to lock the door, so Zayn wouldn't see me like this. Once everything was packed I changed into something more appropriate, and applied a bit of make up. I grabbed my luggage and walked out the door, Zayn following behind. "Zayn, I want you to give me the best kiss ever." I whispered into his ear, he didn't say anything, he smashed his lips onto mine, his peppermint breath on my lips, I felt the butterflies erupt from my stomach, like I was floating in the air. It was truly the best kiss. He soon let go, as we stared into each others eyes for a moment, eyes locked in place. "I-I have to go." I whispered. "I love you." He said. I smiled at his words and turned around. "I love you too." I said, and with that, I left. I couldn't stop crying as I drove to the city post office. I wiped away the tears and walked into the office. "Hi, I'm Jay Roberts and I'm expecting a letter from Florida, Julia Roberts- I mean Julia Clerens." It's been a long time since I said my mothers new last name, it felt weird. The lady at the front desk handed me the letter with a smile. I ripped it open to reveal a one way airplane ticket to Florida, i started crying again. This wasn't right, leaving without saying goodbye. Chelsea needed me, she was pregnant for gods sake.

I walked back into the car, unsure of what to do next when I got a call from my mom. "Yes?" I answered. "Did you get the ticket?" She asked. "Yes." I mumbled, she was the reason my life was like this. "Good, we are expecting you in two hours." She said and hung up. I left at midnight and it was only 7:00. I had time to call Chelsea, grab a coffee then drive to the airport. "Hello?" I said, speaking to the other line. "Hey, what's up?" Chelsea asked, her voice seemed fine. "I- this is going to be hard for me to say, but I know you will understand. It's my mother." I said, starting to cry. "Oh no, what did she do?" She asked, she understood me, she was there when the accident happened, when my parents got their divorce. "I have to move to Florida, please just don't tell anyone, t-tell them ...I moved away for college. Zayn thinks I moved away too so he'll back you up on the lie." I said, wiping away tears. "Wait, you haven't told Zayn about this? Doesn't he know the situation with your mom? And how could you be moving away so fast?" She said, raising her voice. "I couldn't tell Zayn, he wouldn't let me go. Please just don't tell anyone it's already hard for me. Ill try to keep in touch for as long as possible okay? Tell everyone I love them, especially Zayn." I said, now sobbing. "Okay, just be careful out there, and don't forget about me. I'm really sorry Jay, there's nothing I can do." She said, I grabbed a napkin and wiped my face. "It's okay, bye I love you." I said and hung up. It was already 8:24, I drove to Starbucks and grabbed a coffee. I walked back into the car and drive to the airport which was about twenty minutes away.

At the airport they checked all my items, then they took the extra luggage, leaving me with my purse as a carry on. It was already 10:58 by the time everything was finished and my airline was called, I walked into the security line and walked inside the airplane. I places my purse on top, and took a seat. After the lady finished speaking the airplane got in the air, and I silently thought to myself, my heart being torn into pieces. I checked my phone for texts, I had a few from Zayn.

Zayn- do you need help unpacking?

Zayn- is everything okay?

Zayn- I'm getting worried, is everything fine?

I hated to see him like this, it torn me apart, and I was already broken. I was nothing but broken. I listened to my music on my iPod until the voice on the speaker came up again, telling us we had arrived at Florida. Great, just great. I grabbed my purse and walked out. They did the usual security check and I grabbed my luggage. Finally, after five years, here she was. The monster that had ruined my life. She hasn't changed a bit. And next to her, the man she cheated on my father with, my step-father. Oh would you look at that, they decided to bring that brat Brandon, my twelve year old half brother. "Hi! We waited so long!" My step dad, or as I like to call him by his name, Henry said. "Welcome home!" Said mom. I didn't speak, I just followed them into their mini van. This was going to be my life.
