Let Me Be Yours

Chapter 1

Tears immediately sprung into my eyes when I registered what my mother was saying to me; we were moving across the country. It was 1 month before I was starting my senior year of high school! I already had my whole year planned. I have the perfect boyfriend and friends, I'm school president and I'm teaching dance lessons at a local studio.

My life is everything I've ever wanted, how could she take this away from me? Without waiting to hear more, I sprinted upstairs to my room and slammed the door. I must have cried myself to sleep because an hour later I was awoken by the sound of someone knocking on my door.

Expecting to see my mother, I slowly opened the door. Instead it revealed my wonderful boyfriend, Ben. He rushed over to me and pulled me into his arms. "I'm so sorry baby", he said, "After you texted me the news, I knew I had to come and see you."

I bawled into his arms. Through my sobs I managed to ask, "Is this the end of us?" Ben immediately said "No, of course not! No matter what, we'll make this work. Emilia, look on the bright side. You get to move to Vancouver and experience so many new things. Just because I won't actually be with you doesn't mean that I won't be supporting you through everything you do."

His words comforted me. He always knew what to say to make me feel better. We were the perfect pair. I was shy and smart, with green eyes and soft, blonde hair. Ben was a jock with dark eyes and hair that made him the most attractive man I had ever met. You wouldn't expect us to be together, yet somehow we worked perfectly. After hugging each other in silence, Ben went home so that I could talk to my mom about the big move.

"So mom, when exactly are we leaving?" I asked. My mom sighed and said "I'm so sorry honey, but we need to leave in 2 days. School starts earlier there and when I agreed to take this promotion, they said they needed me immediately." I was proud of my mom for her promotion. She was an engineer and worked unbelievably hard ever since my dad walked out on us. I just couldn't help but feel angry at her for tearing me away from my life. All I could do was nod as I headed upstairs to pack my things.
