Martina's pov

I thought that yesterday would be the best day in my life. I've always been excited for Prom, I've always loved and enjoyed going to Prom, but this year it all got destroyed.Everything got destoryed the second I got the message from mother, saying that we will leave tomorrow. I was crying and it felt like I was crying for years yesterday. Jorge took me home, comforting me all the way to my house. I was really happy that I had him, but I knew how disappointed he was, after hearing that I was going to move.

Yesterday was also the day Jorge told me why he had some days were he was really and other's not. It was because he had something similar to bipolar disorder. That also explains why he kissed me the other night. He can't control his feeling sometimes, but he didn't tell me why he became like that ; but I'm assuming it has something to do with his mother's dead. But I didn't ask, since it's still a very sensitive subject to bring up.

And since yesterday night there's something I realized I did.
I liked him. I liked Jorge Jerkface Blanco, the biggest jerk in school, but I didn't know if he liked me back.

I just wish I go back in time, to fix all my problems and to tell mother how much I loved to stay here, and that I could stop father to not do bad things, try to understand Luke's reasons more, to never get in a fight with Lodo and to comfort and be there for Jorge, like he does for me.
There are so many things, I want to fix, but I know that I'll never get the chance to.

People always say that to turn the next chapter in life is something good. And it's really a good thing, I got new friends and I got someone I truly care about. All those things have happened to me; in this school ; in this town. Both bad and good things have happened here ; and that's what made us understand each other.

I couldn't leave this town.
I couldn't leave my friends.
I couldn't leave Jorge.

"We're sorry T." Lodo said hugging me as tears streamed down my cheeks. I only had 9 hours left before I left. Before I, left for good. Facu put his hand as comfort on my shoulder as I gave him a warm smile showing how thankful I was to have him as a friend. All the other's were here : also Alba. As I said before; I didn't even know here that good, and she was still here for me.
But my smile faded away when I noticed that Jorge wasn't here.

"Tini?" Lodo asked me mentioning me to follow her as I did. She took me to a corner of my house and started talking.
"Do you know why Jorge isn't here?" Lodo asked as I shook my head. I didn't know, but I wanted to. "He wants to talk to you alone and he's kind off.." she paused taking a deep breath. "He's afraid that another person he cares about will leave." She blurted out as I stared at the floor.

I wanted to hear those words badly,
But I wanted to hear them from him.

It was 3 hours left, and I was still packing the things I had left in my room. I was thinking about something, when I heard a knock on the front door. It was probably my pizza delivery, I thought as my smile faded away. I ran up, and opened the door, to find no other than jerkface. And what surprised me was not that he was here, it was that his usual smirk was gone. And he wasn't smiling either, it felt like he was upset.

"Uhm, can I come in? We really need to talk." Jorge said as I let him in. He was right about the talking thing , and since my mother was gone, shopping some things we could use in our other house, we would be the only one's in the house.

He immediately sat on my couch, as I sat on a chair in front of him. Even if I knew what he was about to say, I asked.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?" He ran a hand over his messy brown hair, as I gulped.

"We...uh.. about the kiss, yesterday and the day before that." Jorge blurted out as my cheeks turned into a small faint of pink.
"I know that you-" but before he could continue I cut him off.
"You don't need to explain. I already know that the kiss didn't mean much to you." I said as it felt like someone put a knife in my heart, but I continued. "I also know about the bipolar disorder thing, so you really don't need to explain." I said as Jorge looked a bit taken aback. Did he want to say something else?
Did the kiss mean something to him?

But before I could continue my mother sent me a text saying that I should take the last things to the car and that it was time to leave. I gave a sympathetic smile as he understood standing up.
He was going to hug me, but he hesitated a second, before taking his hands in his pockets. He said goodbye and left me there shocked. He definitely wanted to say something else.

I got in the car as I heard my mother sighting.
"Tini, your dad, he was sent to the mental-hospital and since we are his only family we can't leave him. And as much as I wanted to go, I regret it now. I don't want to see you sad and upset. I don't want you to lose more people.
I was so selfish to move to another town. I only thought about myself, but seeing you like this. And seeing you with your happy and smiling make me regret every choice I made.
And if you're happy than I am happy too." My mother finished as I looked at her with wide eyes. Was this a dream?

"Does that mean that we won't leave?" I asked, placing a wide smile on my face.

"We won't leave, we will stay." My mother said smiling as I hugged her as tightly, as I pulled away.
"Oh, by the way, some girl called me this morning telling me that she knew you." My mother said handing me her phone as I dialed the unknown number. Maybe it was Alba, since I didn't have her phone number. But just when the person started talking; my smile faded away, knowing who it was.

"Long time no see, best friend!"

"Gabrielle."
