"But you can't leave." My mother says with teary eyes. Tyler is putting my two suitcases into the trunk of his car while I try to get my mother to let me go. I hug her slightly shaking body and she hugs me back.

"I need to. Thank you mom. I love you so much. I'll come back, don't you worry."

"Just be careful. And call me once a week- no call me every day." We pull back from the hug. She wipes her eyes with her index fingers.

"I'll try." I myself, is also almost in tears. It's hard to leave the nest.

"And you," She says with a stern voice, pointing at Tyler. "You keep her safe. You hear!"

"Yes ma'am." He nods.

" Je t'aime très, beaucoup." She says in French. She was born in France but moved here when she was twenty five. She had a hard time learning English and her heavy French accent made it harder for people to understand. As soon as I was adopted she taught me how to speak French although I am not that great at it. It's hard to learn a new language. It's like just learning how to speak.

" Je t'aime très, beaucoup." I hug her one last time before getting into the passenger side of Tyler's car. As we drive by, I wave my mother off. This is just the beginning of something new and exciting. Things are finally going great for me. Tyler rolls down the windows letting the air circulate and put on the radio. To my liking, Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners came on. I start to jump up and down in my seat. I love this song! I start to sing along since Tyler doesn't know this song.

" Poor old Johnny Ray

Sounded sad upon the radio

But he moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried

Sang along

Who'd blame them

You've grown, so grown

Now I must say more than ever

Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye

And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen

Oh, I swear what he means

At this moment you mean everything

You in that dress

My thoughts I confess

Verge on dirty

Oh, come on Eileen

These people round here

Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces

They're so resigned to what their fate is

But not us

No, not us

We are far too young and clever

Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye

And you'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen

Oh, I swear what he means

Aah, come on let's

Take off everything

That pretty red dress

Eileen
