*ten months later*
"Can you tell me where we're going now?" I whined, exitement building up inside me.
Luke had covered my eyes with his hand and had his other hand on the small of my back, leading me somewhere. Despite the fact that I was getting impatient, ge refused to tell me where.
I just graduated high school yesterday, it's hard to believe it's already been a year since the first day of senior year. Although the year has been rather boring, the same routine every day. But since the guys left school, their band has really skyrocketed. They had a couple of tours, but not one as long as the first time, when they were gone for an entire month.
I heard the sound of a door open in front of me. Luke gengly pusned me to take a few steps forward before he moved his hands "You can open your eyes now"
I carefully seperated my eyelids, taking in my surroundings. My exitment quickly turned into confusion "Where are we?" I asked as my look strolled around what seemed to be a small, empty apartment.
I turned to Luke confused and he smiled awkwardly, as if he was afraid of my reaction "This is my new apartment" he paused "Well...ours actually"
I parted my lips slightly. What did he mean by 'our apartment'?
He cut me off before I could say anything "I was thinking, since we're both over eighteen and you finished high school...that we could move in together? It's like a 'one year anniversary' present" he said awkwardly, bitting his lip and joining his hands behind his back.
I stared at him for a while, quietly, keeping an ureadable expression before grinning from ear to ear. He smiled with relief. I leaped into his arms, joining our lips for a long and passionate kiss.
Our apartment. I repeated that over and over in my head. This was better than anything I ever imagined him getting me. This meant a new phase in our relationship, something to bring us even closer together.
We decided to move in after everything was finished, meaning after all the furniture was there and in it's place, which would probably take about a week. But I didn't care how long it would take, I was bursting with joy only just thinking about it.
I had to go back home and tell my parents. This was going to be the most awkward conversation with them so far. I built up the courage and rang the doorbell of the apartment.
My mom opened it and grinned at me "Hey sweetie, you're back already?"
I nodded, taking a deep breath. She slightly frowned at my sudden nervousness "Is everything okay?"
"Well, I needed to ask you something" I stammered, exhailing a breath.
"Both of you" I said a little louder so my dad would hear me. He bolted his head in my direction at my words, turning his full attention from the tv to me.
"Of course" my mom said caringly, gently stroking my arm. I could see a hint of worry in her eyes "What is it?"
I came in, nervously playing with my ring. I took the remote, turned off the tv and sat on the couch. My dad was already sitting and my mom leaned with her arms on the back of the couch. They were both now staring at me, getting increasedly worried.
I looked around awkwardly, trying to avoid their stares. Finally, I took a deep breath and ripped the bandage off "Mom, dad, I'm moving out"
"Where are you moving?" my mom crooned.
"I'm moving in with Luke?" I said, but it sounded almost like a question as I was taken aback with her reaction.
"Alright" my dad said indiffirently.
"You're letting me?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I was at a loss of words at how calm they both were.
My dad almost chuckled "Jessica, you're an adult now. You can do whatever you want" he looked into my eyes carefully, continuing to speak more softly "Your mom and I are going to miss you, and we love you and always will love you...but you're going off on your own...and there's nothing we can do to stop you from leaving us"
I felt a warm tear slip down my cheek, my dad's eyes were wet, he was trying not to cry, and my mom too.
"I have and always will love you too" I said tearfully and hugged my dad as tightly as I could. My mom wraped her arms around us. I heard my dad sniff, and I slowly started crying.
