Surprisingly it didn't take long for me to pack up most of my life here in Stilwater. All my cloths, most of the important things. I was still upset that they were basically forcing me to leave. Johnny was with me cuz he know how hard this was for me.
Johnny: Is that all?
Me: Yeah.
I made one more look around my room.
Johnny: Well King knows I'm bringing you to the airport so....
I turned to him.
Me: Yeah lets go.
I grabbed my last bag and we walked out the building. But once we got out there guess who we waiting right by Johnny's car?
Dex
We stopped dead in our tracks and Johnny cracked his knuckles. Dex walked up to us.
Dex: Johnny. Ariann can I talk to you?
Johnny moved in front of me. I touched his arm.
Me: Johnny. One minute.
He looked between me and Dex.
Johnny: Holler if you want me to beat his ass.
He walked to his car. I turned to Dex.
Me: What do you want?
Dex: What's going on? W-Why do you have your bags? Wha....
Me: I'm leaving.
Dex: What?! Why?
Me: There's nothing here for me. My Saints are falling apart. My fathers M.I.A. And the man that said he never hurt me stabbed me in the back.
He looked down in guilt.
Dex: Listen Ariann you gotta understand....
Me: No Dex you understand. Nobody wanted us to date in the first place because of the age difference, or me being Julius's daughter. But that didn't stop me from falling for and trusting you. But you hurt me and betrayed me. And if it wasn't clear already, we're through.
I grabbed my bags and walked passed him. He grabbed my arm.
Dex:Ariann I never wanted it to end like this.
Me: Well it did. Because you caused it to. I loved you Dex. But now that everything's out in the open. I'm starting to question if you ever love me.
Dex: But I did and still do.
Me:I wonder if this is another lie your trying to feed me.
Dex:Ariann please don't do this.
Johnny honked the horn signaling the minute being up.I gave Dex one last look.
Me: It's too late. This is the life you wanted. I hope your happy with it.
I walked to the car and got in. I looked down to avoid Dex's gaze. I didn't want his sad look to be my final memory of this place.

We pulled up right next to the plane. King told the guys there to put my bags on the plane, then he walked to me.
King: Well princess, we have about a five hour ride, so try to keep the good- bye short. Ok?
I nodded as he got on the plane. I turned right back to Johnny.
Ariann: So....
I gave him a look. He scoffed.
Johnny: Now don't go getting all sentimental on me.
Me: Shut up. This is probably the last time you'll ever see me.
Johnny: No it won't. I've know you for about a year now. Your a smart girl. So I know you'll find your way home.
I nodded. We stood there for a second. Then he groaned.
Johnny: Come here kid.
He opened his arms and I ran into them. Over the time over spent here, he became like a brother to me. So leaving him was really hard. We pulled apart, and I wiped the tears I had on my cheeks.
Johnny: Take care kid.
Me: Se you later Johnny.
He waved me off as I got on the plane. Once I got settled in we were ready to take off. I seen the familiar purple Bootlegger drive away. The plane started up and entered the sky. As we were over the skies of Stilwatet, I couldn't help but feel sad. It was like I was leaving a part of me. Although Stilwater held murderous criminals, pimps, and prostitutes it was my life. It was home.
