"I don't want to and I'm not going."

"Billie-"

"I don't feel like going and that's final."

"You're going to miss out out prom and graduation."

"I don't care about prom and I'm still getting my diploma, it's not compulsory to attend graduation."

"Does your family know about this."

"Yes but only my father."

"Okay..."

"You don't have to worry about Michael but your other cousins are a different story."

"I know Jade."

"I'm pretty sure before the end of the day my cousins are going to find out."

"Good luck!"

"Thanks."

"Listen I have to go, there's someone knocking on the door."

"Okay Billie, and good luck."

"Thanks, and see you tomorrow at school."

Jade had call Billie to change her mind about going to prom and graduation.

It didn't work.

"I'm not surprised Preston, you found already."

"Of course, I did."

"And?"

"Why are you not going to graduation?"

"Because I don't want to go."

"What are you planning on doing?"

"I haven't visit my grandparents since I moved here so I'm going to New York, if you care to know."

Preston push by pass Billie making himself at home.

"Make yourself at home, cousin dearest!"

"I will."

Preston walk into the living room siting on the couch.

"Sooo..."

"So what?"

"What's up with you and shit face?"

Billie roll her eyes.

"Me and shit face broke up."

"You did." Exclaim Preston smiling silly.

"That's what I just said."

"Was it you who broke up with him and broke his itty bitty heart?"

"Can we stop talking about this?"

"I wanna know."

"How about this!" Billie fling a pillow at Preston.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, why?"

"I overheard my sister talking to my mom saying you were out of it."

"I'm just tire."

"Is that all?"

"Yeah, do you want to help me pack up?"

"Sureee...."

"You don't want to do you?"

"Not at all."

"So what you decided on?"

"College wise, I've decided on Illinois.

"That's good."

"Yeah, my dad thought so."

"I'm going to miss you and everyone else is going to miss you too."

"Shut up Preston now you're making upset and thinking about changing my mind."

"Well don't be scare."

"Everything is going to be fine, and you know where to find us."

Preston got up and sat next to Billie on the couch.

He gave her a grizzly bear hug.

"We love you... So don't forget that."

"And if you don't want to go then just stay, it's up to you."

"I know."

"Don't worry about it."

"Please don't cry Billie."

Preston began to panic.

"Don't cry."

"Shush." Preston rub her back.

Billie hadn't really thought about leaving everything behind for a new start.

All that matter to her when she decided on her choice was her fresh new start.

Now that Preston mention her family missing her, it made her think about her siblings.

They were going to stay behind.

Honestly they had no one.

Their dad was out, he was always working or busy.

He never had time for them.

Work. Work. And work.

Who will take care of them?

Her cousins?

They had their own lives too.

They were going to be busy with work and college.

It was only going to be Isaac and Jalen.

Did she really need that fresh start?

She wasn't so sure anymore.

She wasn't sure what to do?
