It was finally graduation, I was so ready to do this, but at the same time, I was so not. "You ready?" Bella asked.
"I'm hyped right now." Crystal said, jumping.
"Yeah... don't do that." I said with a small laugh.
"So, you and Dominik." Bella said.
"Me and Dominik...What?" I asked, feeling heat rise in my cheeks.
"You two can be married now if you wanted to be." Crystal said, clapping her hands and grinning so wide that it looked like it hurt.
"Married? Don't you think it's too soon to be thinking about that?" Bella asked, crossing her arms, "That was so not what I was implying, I was just saying that they were about to start their own journey together in the real world and then MAYBE get married." Bella nudged Crystal with her elbow playfully and smiled.
"Not maybe, eventually!"
"Right." I said in a whisper, the thought sent butterflies to my stomach and a chill down my spine. We've only been together for a few months, but it felt right to think about being tied to him forever.

It happened, finally I'm done, and I can do whatever I want with my life, at least I thought so until my mother started speaking.
"So, sweetie, now that you are graduated, I trust that you will go to the university and do something productive with your life." My mother said, I rolled my eyes. Is she for real? I don't even think I want to go to college.
"Not even close. And it's nice of you to finally approach me and say something to me." She looked at me like I just threw something at her face all called her the most disrespectful name on the planet.
"Excuse me, going lady?!" My mother said, gritting her teeth, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's my life, I'm moving out and living with the guy that I think is right for me." My heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. I've never actually stood up to my mom like this, sure we've gotten into fights before but usually it ends up with me running up the stairs with my parents getting the last word.
"That boy is nothing but trouble." She said, folding her arms.
"You don't even know him and just so you know, you're the one who suggested he should take me to school!" I said, narrowing my eyes, this was all her fault if she didn't want me to be around him then she shouldn't have asked him to take me anywhere in the first place.
"I don't have to know him, Scarlett." The absolute audacity of this woman as if she isn't taking about her good friend's son. Maybe my mom is bipolar, but we just haven't noticed.
"I don't care, I'm going away with him." I replied.
"You do that, and then you'd be crawling back." She said lifting an eyebrow, I let out a small laugh and walked towards the door.
"Yeah, sure I would, I'm leaving." I turned the doorknob and opened the door but before I left, I looked over my shoulder to listen to the last words my mother had to say to me.
"You're going to ruin your life, Scarlett. Think about what you're doing." She said as if I was still 6 years old about to do something that will affect my future.
"I'm not going to change my mind." Just before she could say anything else I walked out of my home, I don't exactly know where I'm going but I needed to get the hell out of here.
