Leaving Sean (a Grapeapplesauce fanfic)

Chapter 1: Problems

   Sean told me I was crazy for not planning on going to UWO but he was the one who wanted a future together. How am I supposed to go to Wisconsin and leave him behind? I looked out the window and sighed. "You have to go" Sean's voice appeared in my head, "Not without you." I always replied. Why would I spoil our future together for school?

   "Because it's your dream." My mom lectured as she came into the car. Did I say that out loud? Sadly, my mom was my chauffeur due to the fact that i'm a horrible driver and got 2 tickets. She told me I couldn't drive anymore until I had responsibility. I shook my head in disapproval. "You'd be stupid to drop an offer like that." She added looking into my eyes. I raised my eyebrows sarcastically like I was listening. She had been angry with me for about a week since i've told her the reason on why i'm not going. 

  "Mom, get over it." I told her, sounded a bit too defensive. She was silent for the whole ride home...almost. "I will not get over the fact you're wasting your life over a boy." Doesn't she realize he's not just a boy? "I'm not a little girl mom, and i'm most definitely not a cliche'! Quit acting like you own me." I instantly wished I could take back my words, but I was too angry to, and I kept going, "Dad would let me stay!" I yelled at her in the car. She jumped a bit hearing the sound of his name and stopped the car. We arrived home. She looked at me with hate as I slammed the door and went inside. 

  I ran into my little brother Jacob and I heard him yell "Ow!" as he fell to the ground. Normally, I would have stopped but this time I was too angry to even help him up. My mom yelled my name as I once again, slammed my door. I heard my little brother say, "it's okay." calmly and to be honest it made me feel even more guilty. I called Sean. 

 "Hey, Piper."  He said my name; he usually calls me by little pet names. "Hey babe." I smiled over the phone. There was a silence, "What's wrong?" I asked him.

He spoke, "A girl is giving up her dream school for me." He chuckled sadly.

I groaned. "It's not like you're the only reason why i'm not going." I lied.

"Like what?" I heard the hope in his voice, and I was about to crush it because I was a horrible liar.

"I uhm- I heard the food is unsanitary."

 He sighed, "Piper...I know when you're lying."

I looked down, "Alright, the place is perfection...but so are you...I mean, fuck, don't you want me to stay with you? What about our future?" I snapped.

He sounded angry, "Of course I want you to stay, damn. But I'm not selfish; you need to go. It's your dream school." I hung up the phone. I wanted him to be selfish. 

  Moments later he walked into my room. "Who let you in?" I whimpered and hid under my covers. I looked bad; like really bad. I was crying, I was throwing stuff. I was in my pajamas, my hair was a mess.

 "Your mother did." He told me and sat on my bed. "We need to talk." he added pulling down the covers, "Pips I don't care if your hair is messy, you're beautiful, if I cared I wouldn't have bothered to kiss you, and...other stuff." he chuckled. I looked at him and rolled my eyes playfully. He made me sit up.

"Talk." I hid my smile. He called me Pips. His face suddenly got serious. "Sean?" I questioned. He hesitated.

"I'm..ending it; us." 

My eyes widened and I made him get up, "What do you mean you're ending us? Sean are you breaking up with me?" I asked horrified.

He looked nervous and unsure. "I mean, yeah. I just don't see us working." He looked down.

 I shook my head in disbelief, "Did my mom put you up to this?" I accused walking away from him. I began to cry. He shook his head. "Don't you love me?" I cried.

 He got closer to me and put his hands on my face embracing me, "Don't you ever say that I don't. I do. I'm in love with you, which is why I have to do this, i'm so sorry Piper. God, I never wanted this to happen but this is your life and I will not ruin it." He cried with me.

"Then don't, don't go." I begged and he almost said yes.

I saw his mouth almost speak it, but he shook his head, "I'm sorry." He kissed my head and ran out my door, out to his car. 

I thought back to when I left him, he came back for me. He'll come back for me; I know he will. He has to, right? Right. I will wait... But what if he doesn't? I'll go after him! I began to panic and cried. I cried all night.
