Chapter 16

Jess POV

The rest of the trip passed by extremely fast and before I knew it we were on the plane back home. "Did you have a nice time?" Paul asked me. "Yeah. This trip was amazing" I said smiling at him. After that we didn't talk much and I soon fell asleep.

**********************

"Sweetie wake up" Paul said shaking me gently. "What?" I mumbled sleepily. "We're here" he said. We got off the plane and went to baggage claim to collect our luggage. We then got into a cab and drove home. "Thank you so much for taking me with you" I said hugging Paul tightly. "Anything for you baby girl" he replied kissing me.

"I should go. I'll call you later" I said kissing him. He nodded and I went into my house. "I'm home!" I called. My parents came running to the door and enveloped me in a massive hug. "Did you have a nice time?" Dad asked. "Yeah, it was awesome" I said with a huge smile. "What did you do?" Rose asked. I went on to tell them every detail about the holiday. Well almost every detail, I thought it would be best to leave out a few things.

"What did you guys get up to while I was gone?" I asked. "Not much. We do have something that we need to tell you though" Dad said. I nodded and waited for them to continue. "I got a promotion at work" Dad said. "Really? That's awesome!" I exclaimed, felling very happy for him. "Yeah well there's a catch" he said. "What kind of a catch?" I asked nervously. "The job is in LA" Rose said. "What?" I asked. "We're moving to LA" Rose said excitedly. Every ounce of happiness that I was feeling for my dad had instantly disappeared with those four words. "When?" I asked. "In a month" Dad replied.

"No, please no" I said fighting tears. "Don't be selfish" Dad said. "I'm not. You guys are the selfish ones. Paul is the best thing that ever happened to me and now you're trying to take me away from him" I said. I felt a tear escape my eye. "You'll get over him" Rose said. "No I won't. Don't you get it? He saved my life. If I hadn't met him I would've probably been in the hospital with food being forced into my stomach" I said. "Yes and we are grateful that he helped you but this is just some high school romance" Dad said. "Daddy I have never loved anyone as much as I love Paul" I said. "You're too young to know what love is. And you are moving to LA whether you like it or not" he said.

"No" I said. "What do you mean?" Dad asked. "I mean I'm not going" I said. "Jess don't be silly" Rose said. "I'm not!" I exclaimed, "Things are finally starting to go well for me and now you're trying to take me away from everything!"

"You'll like it in LA" Dad said. "No I won't!" I said starting to raise my voice a bit. "Don't use that tone of voice with me young lady!" Dad yelled. "Whatever. I'm not going" I said getting up. "Sit back down, we aren't done here" Rose said. I rolled my eyes and started walking to my room. "You know what? I fucking hate both of you" I yelled over my shoulder. "Jessica Lana Stone get back here this instant!" Dad roared. I slammed my door and flopped onto my bed.

Tears cascaded down my cheeks at the thought of leaving Paul. I spent the next few hours just laying on my bed crying. I heard a knock at the door. "Go away" I said. The door opened and Paul walked in. I ran over to him and started sobbing into his chest. He rubbed my back and let me cry. "Baby what's wrong?" Paul asked. I tried to control my breathing and calm down a bit before I spoke. "I'm moving" I said quietly. "What?" Paul said. "I'm moving to LA" I said. The tears started falling again when I saw the look on Paul's face.

"You can't leave" he whispered. "I know" I said. I felt a tear drop on my head. "Please don't cry" I said wiping away Paul's tears. "I'm going to miss you so much" he said. "I'm going to miss you to" I replied. "When do you leave?" Paul asked. "In a month" I said sadly. "I don't know what I'm going to do without you" he said. "I know" I replied. "Can you stay over tonight?" I asked. "Of course" he said. I changed into my pyjamas and Paul took off his shirt and jeans. We got into bed and Paul pulled me close to him. "I love you so much" he said. "I love you too" I replied. We talked for a bit longer before falling asleep.
