"What if,what if runaway,what if,what if we left today,what if we say goodbye to safe and sound,and what if,what if we're hard to find,what if,what if we lost our minds,what if we left them far behind,and there never found,and when the lights start flashing like a photo booth,and the stars explode we'll be fore proof,my youth,my youth is yours,tripping in skies,sipping on waterfalls,my youth,my youth is runaway and forevermore,my youth,my youth is yours a truth so loud you can't ignore,my youth,my youth,my youth,my is youth is yours"

Youth-Troye Sivan




Carla's pov

After Michael and Alexander left my apartment,I've been going over our little conversation in my head,and I still don't know what to do.At,first I really want to be with them and be like what we used to be,but then on the other hand I just wanna leave this country and never come back but of course I can't do that,I have a job and patients that count on me.

Shit!Mary! I forgot about our appointment!

I hurried up and got dressed slipping on a nice floral dress that stops at my knees and I slip on my wedges and leave my hair down.

I rush to my car and speed off into downtown,while at a stoplight I texted Mary and told her I'll be there but I'll be a little late and she said ok.Parking my car I rush up to office just in time for Mary to walk up the stairs. 

"Mary,it's so good to see you" I say to her

"Thank you and the same to you too!" She says back

"Sorry I haven been here I've had a lot of stuff going on with my family and I hope my co-workers has been treating you good" I say while getting my pen and note pad out

"I've been good" she says

"So let's get started.....where do wanna start?" I ask

"Well the last time I was here was when I was talking about my boyfriend Mark" she looks at me

"Yes,I remember " I say

"Ok..... Umm well we broke up, a couple of days after I left the appointment with you,b-but I couldn't stand the thought of us being away from each other and he promised that he wouldn't hit me anymore and that he would try and control his anger......but a couple of nights ago he was way,way passed angry.......he completely lost it" when she looks at me I can see unshed tears in her eyes

As Mary was telling me everything, I wrote it down so I can fully help with her problems.

"What do you mean,when you say he lost it?"

"He threw the plate and a glass cup at the wall and swiped the lamp off of the table, I've never seen him so angry sure he threw food,or something soft but never glass,I didn't go to school at all that night I had locked myself in the bathroom and took a pair of scissors,just in case he picked the bathroom lock like last time"

"Mary,look I know that you love him,but he doesn't love you, because if he does then he wouldn't keep beating on you and making you feel worthless,sometimes you have to let the people you love the most out of your life and leave them be,because what you are in is not a healthy relationship" I say to her making sure she is clearly understanding what I am saying

"I know that!But ughh I just love him so much,how can you relate?"

"Well me and my two 'Friends' kind of got into this big argument over our relationship and now I have to decide do I want to keep this relationship going or do I want to end it,so I do know what your going through "

I very well know what she's going through,just not to the extent of her boyfriend.

"Carla,what am I going to do?"

"I have an idea but you have to stick with this plan or it could backfire and after hearing the story of what your boyfriend does to you, I don't think it's safe for you to be with him or to be in that environment" I say

"Now more than ever I agree with you,I really want to leave this time I promise"

"Ok so I am going to give this number, it's my friend she works at the shelter for abused women, and I want you to give her a call and she'll send someone over to your place to help you pack your bags and they'll help you find a place to stay.But the catch is you can't have any contact with your ex, because that'll ruin the whole purpose of you leaving him,are you ok with this?"

"Yes I do"

"Ok so here her number and call her as soon as you get in the car, and I want you to come back and see me in about 2 weeks"

"Ok thanks,Carla"

"Your welcome see you in 2 weeks"

"Bye!"

Now back to my situation, at hand.
