A/N: (Looking back at this I realized it's kinda unnecessary but fill free to skip it)

    "Yes mama, I really have to leave now," I said grabbing my suitcase and bags.

     "Oh honey," she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm going to miss you baby" she spoke, breaking down in the process. Once I heard those words I lost it. I dropped everything I was holding in my arms and ran towards my mother as she engulfed me in a hug. We stood there for 5 minutes crying into each other's shoulders. Am I ready to leave my mom? Am I really going to leave this life behind?

     "Honey, this is your life, you have to go chase your dreams." She said while wiping off her tears, "I'm sorry baby, you're my first born and it's really hard to see you go"

     "Mama I'm going to miss you so much" I said hugging her even more tightly. I laid my head on her shoulder as we swayed back and forth, marking this moment down in history. This was the last time I was going to smell her flowery scent. The last time I was going to be in her arms, for a very long time.

      "You're going to visit after your first semester right?" She asked. I nodded, slowly lifting my head from her shoulder. Looking up at my beautiful mother, I kissed her cheek. She returned the gesture and placed her palm on my cheek.

     "My Brittany, my beautiful-"

    *Beeeeep*

     "Oh god that must be the taxi," I said nervously. This was the moment I've been waiting for since I got my acceptance letter from Parsons. Teary-eyed, I grabbed my suitcase and bags, looking at my mother once more. She smiled at me reassuringly, and that one smile gave me the confidence I needed. She walked slowly to my side and grabbed the suitcase from me. We walked out the door, side by side, and filled the taxi drivers trunk with my suitcases. I gave my mother a hug one last time before waving at her goodbye. I sat in the car and rolled down the windows.

     "You ready?" The driver asked. I thought about it for a moment before replying, "yes!".

     "Bye momma, I love you" I shouted and waved as the taxi driver pulled out the drive way. She waved back at me and I stared out the window as my house got smaller and smaller, until it was out of view.

     I was really going to miss my mom. My mom was the only person in my life that I cared so deeply for. What can I say, I'm a mamas girl!

     "You've now arrived to the LAX airport, please have your passport and tickets ready by the time you get to the window."

     Butterflies began to roam freely in my stomach. The thought of leaving L.A, the only home I've known for my whole life, made me a nervous wreck. What did the outside world look like, what did New York look like? I've seen it all on t.v, big cities, overpopulated ar-

     "Next!" The receptionist yelled.

     "Oh sorry," I muttered while grabbing my belongings and hurrying over towards the window. I handed her my passport and the necessary things.

     "New York ehh, what you got going up there?"

     "I'm going to be attending Parsons University." I replied.

     "Parsons? I never would of thought you," she eyed me up and down, "would get into a school like that" she says rolling her eyes.

     I rolled my eyes back at her and said, "yeah, that's because I'm cool like that, and last time I checked" I looked her up and down, "you don't know me" I said, the rude and sassy part of myself taking over.

     "Well damn girl," she said throwing me my passport and ticket, "your flight will be arriving shortly" she spoke while chewing her gum obnoxiously.

     "Thank you!" I spat. I quickly shook off the negative energy and I began thinking about my life in New York.

     New fricking York. The land that never sleeps!

     This was a new chapter in my life and I wanted to make sure it was a well written one! I wasn't going to let anyone ruin my experience.
