I scoop some gummy worms onto my strawberry fro-yo and grab a spoon, practically salivating at how good it was.

"That's all you're getting?" Mahogany asks, stunned while her fro-yo is looking more like the leaning tower of Pisa.

"Can't go wrong with gummy worms," I say, while guiding us outside Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt. There were some seating outside so we sat down, enjoying our delicious treats.

"So what was it you were gonna tell me?" Mahogany chimes, taking off her reflective sunglasses since the umbrella over us provided enough protection from the sun.

I twirl my spoon around my fro-yo, trying to figure out where I start. "It's really a long story."

"I got time." She shrugs.

I sigh. "OK well..."

And I ended up telling her everything. All the way from Cameron meeting me, us dating, the tour, school, our little fight, my mom, and so much more. It was probably the most I had ever told anyone- ever!

"Wow," is all Mahogany says before stuffing a spoon of Raspberry Sorbet into her mouth.

"I know," I laugh lightly.

"So basically, you still haven't told your Mom?"

I shake my head. "Nope. She still has no idea, or where I even am right now."

Mahogany frowns. "Well you have to call her like right now. She probably thinks you've been kidnapped or something."

I sigh, although she's right- just like Cameron.

I excuse myself from the table and grab my cell phone, dialing her number right away.

"Madison!" She shrieks once she finally picks up.

"Um hey Mom," I say nervously.

"Madison, where are you? I've been sitting here worried sick, and you haven't been answering your calls."

"Yeah, about that..."

"I want you to come home right now!" She says sternly.

I sigh. "Yeah Mom, that really isn't possible at the moment."

"What do you mean?"

I pace around the parking lot before saying, "I'm in Minnesota."

"MINNESOTA!" She yells so loudly, that I have to pull the phone away from my ear.

"Uh, yes, Minnesota. With my boyfriend."

"BOYFRIEND!!" She exclaims even louder this time.

I take a deep breath before saying, "and I'm going to be living with him."

I don't even have to wait to pull the phone away from ear, cringing as she shrieks, "LIVING WITH HIM!!!"

"Mom, please, if you could just calm down so I can explain-"

"Explain?! You think you can just explain the reason why you were missing for two days is because you want to live in Minnesota with your boyfriend! Who is this boy! And what has he said to you to convince you to do such a thing!"

"Mom he doesn't live in Minneso-"

"Like did I not raise you right," she rambles. "I thought I was a good parent. Where did you even meet this guy? Oh my God, did you lie to me about taking online school? Did you drop out?!"

"Mom!"

She finally stopped rambling, quieting down and giving me a chance to explain myself.

"Look Mom. Me and Cameron - my boyfriend - have been dating for two years now."
