Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us...
I was about to climb onto Mario's roof but I then stopped myself from putting my leg out. Mario pushed me, his way of telling me to carry on, but I then stood in his room and turned around so I could face him.
"I want to see them."
Mario looked at me as if I was insane. "Do you want to leave America too?"
He was right. Seeing them would mean going straight to England. But I've finally realised how much I've actually missed them. As much as I hate them at times they're family.
I walked past Mario and slammed open the door.
"Lucy!" Mario spat, sounding desperate now. He put his arms around my waist and tried to push me away but I wouldn't let him.
Tears were now running down my cheeks. The second Mario's grip loosened I escaped from his arms and ran downstairs as quickly as possible.
"LUCY!" A familiar voice yelled. My mum then ran to me, hugged me and burst into tears.
I squeezed my eyes shut as my mum hugged me when I realised what I've just done.
Mario was right, I shouldn't have come to them. I'm going straight to England now. And that means no more Geo, no more Mario and no more Ariel.
She then tightly grabbed my wrist and grabbed her stuff with her free hand. "We best be going." She said as she gestured for my dad to come. She then turned her gaze to Mario who's eyes were bloodshot and full of tears. "Thank you so much for looking after my daughter, I hope she wasn't any trouble."
Mario stayed standing on the stairs, staring at me with a heartbroken expression. I stared back at him as even more tears streamed down my cheeks. But when my mum strongly pulled me to the door, he ran to me and hugged me.
I stayed standing as he hugged me and felt my heartbeat quicken with panic. What do I do? My mum's grasp is too tight..

"Mario I'm not leaving." I whispered to him as quietly as possible.
"I'll be at the airport the second you go in that car to collect you." He whispered back, "my family is your family now."
I chuckled and then let out a little squeal of pain when my mum yanked my hand. Mario let go and then ran upstairs, probably to escape from his window.
When Mario's parents slammed the door shut and my dad drove the car away from Mario's house, my mum's face went as red as a tomato and she gave a look full of pure rage.
"YOU SPOILT BRAT!" She screamed, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"
I should have expected this. If I just listened to Mario I would of still been in his house. Why did I expect my mum to be all happy when I ran down those stairs to see her? I should have known that it was all an act when she yelled my name and gave me a smile.
"YOU KNOW I HATE GEO, IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT THAT HE BROKE YOUR HEART." She added, thinking she knew everything. "HE JUST DATED YOU TO MAKE THAT BLONDE BARBIE JEALOUS."
I knew she was talking about Loren. I just wanted to open my window and jump out.
