Starting Over

Leaving

Today was the day I was packing up and leaving for the summer. I got invited to tour this extordinary music school in New York. The only down side was that it took up my whole summer so I had to leave my friends, family, and my boyfriend behind.
"Marissa! We have to drop you off at the airport soon! I hope you're packed!" My older sister Alyssa shouted from downstairs. My parents were at work still but they should be coming home to come and drop me off at the airport. My boyfriend Michael is on his way over right now.
Michael and I have been dating for three years. Our 4 year anniversary is July 2nd. He said he would fly out and spend a few days with me.
"Mom and dad are home. Come downstairs and say hi!" Alyssa shouts again.
I come downstairs and say hi to my parents. My mom works as a real estate agent and my dad works as a manager at some company. I never really knew where he works.
"Are you ready to head to New York?" My mom asks me as I carry all of my luggage downstairs.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I say out of breath. Suddenly there's a knock at the door.
"Michael!" I yell. I wrap my arms around him and he does the same to me. We stand like that for a few minutes. He then pulls away.
"Hey Marissa! I see you're already packed. Do you need help loading the car?" He asks already grabbing thibgs from me.
"Yeah sure. Thanks Michael." I say handing him some things.
We start loading the car and there's a lot of stuff. My mom, my dad, my sister, and Michael all cram in the car leaving me having to squish in the middle of my boyfriend and my sister.
The airport was about an 3 hours away. By the time we got there I would have about an hour to myself before boarding. The school I was going to paid for the flight. The plane was just for people going to New York for the music program so that way there would be enough room for everyones things on the plane.
We finally get to the airport and go through baggage check. I sit with everyone until they start boarding.
"So what's the first thing you're gonna do when you get to New York?" Michael asks.
"Probably sleep." I say
"You probably will." He says back laughing a little.
It finally comes time to board the plane. There'sonly about ten people who board the plane. I say bye to everyone and kiss Michael goodbye. July 2nd is only a month away so it won't be long before I see him again.
"I love you." He whispers in my ear as we are hugging.
"I love you too." I say back.
I get on the plane. The last thing I remember is being in the sky.
