I wished in this moment that it wasn't dark so I could see Rivers face expression. For a second he didn't say anything he just focused on his breathing and calming them down.

"Im- I'm moving," River choked out.  "You're what?- no- no- Where too?" I felt my breathing cutting short. "I don't know yet... I'm sorry- I- we move around a lot, we don't usually stay in a place for to long."
"Why?"
"My parents are- they- are criminals. We have a new identity everytime we move, new names, hair. Anything to not get my parents caught."
"So have you been lying to me?"
"No Roxy, never. I've told you the truth, but that's why I don't talk about myself a lot."
"River. Do u actually think I would rat out on you?"
"I don't know- no- I- Roxy, I don't know, I don't know who I am. Where I'm going in the future. Nothing!"

I was shocked by his outburst but I wasn't close to mad. It was understandable to a point. I just don't know how I could help him. I'm not good at helping, I'm good at ruining.

"Sorry."
"Its okay, we will figure this out. Uh... When do you leave?"
"In a week."

A week, one fucking week. River cupped my face with his hands and pulled me into his chest. Now it was my turn to sob.

"River you- you- can't l- leave me. Pl- please don't. I- I- love you." I said in between sobs. I don't care how long I've known this boy, he changed my life in the most positive way possible. I'm not going to let him- my happiness- get away that easy.

"I love you too. I mean it. But my family needs me."
"I need you."

There was a silence. What I said was true, very true. But my mind told me that I don't need him, I want him. I want a lot of things, but I need River. Anger overthrown my mind and body. I pushed myself out of the hug, and stopped crying.

"Look River, your family doesn't make desistions, you do. Not me, you. You choose who your going to be what your going to do regardless where you're from, or who your parents are. If you forgot, you are 18, an adult, which means that you don't have to live with your parents anymore." I realized what I said was a little harsh but it felt right to say. River just looked at the ground with his hands in his pockets.

I grabbed his hands out and kissed each one. I could tell he was confused. "We are going to figure this out, and everything is going to be okay. I don't know what the future has in store, but that's why it's the future. So we are going to live the now. Okay?" I said. He nodded and kissed my hands.

God it's so fucking hard to look at the positives and be positive when life gives you shit. But what's the good in moping. Might as well make the best of what you have.

"Meet me here tomorrow at one. I'm going to make this the best week of your life!" I yelled as I flung my arms up.
"You already did."
"Whatever bub, I'm going to make this one better!" I kissed him on the cheek and ran towards my house, butterflies  soaring throughout my body.
