I wake up to my alarm it's 7am and I rubbed my eyes and got up. I check my phone I text Willow *hey, you ready to start packing our stuff and I'll call the lawyer?* Willow replays *yes I'll pick you up at 10 I'll give you time to get ready* I send *okay I'll be fast love ya* Willows short reply *Love you*
I got out of the shower and look at the mirror thinking (how am I going to break the news to my parents?) By the time I got ready Willow was honking her horn. We figured sense she don't have a lot of stuff to pack we will pack her stuff first. She already told her parents that we are leaving state and they seem to not even care..... I feel so bad. Once we got everything we took it to our local storage unit and place it there till we got all of my stuff packed. It took us a good hour to unload Willows stuff into the unit. So we decided it's a good time to go get lunch, Willow swings into Taco Bell and we order and sit down at our table till the food is ready. Willow turns to me and asked "what's wrong? You seem upset about something" I just sat there and ignored the question. Our number was called for the food so I went up and got it. The whole time we ate it was silent, then I broke it by asking Willow if we should get some ice cream. She looked at me so confused and wondering why I was stalling. She asked me "Carmen what has gotten into you! Why are you beating around the bush I'm ur best friend fucking tell me what's going on!" I sighed and looked at her and I just lost it. I was bawling, Willow says "Carmen I'm sorry I..." I run off not knowing what else she said I just wanted to be alone. Willow rushes out and quickly catches up to me and grabs me by my arm, roughly too than she grabs my face and screams at me "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT?" I stare blankly and I whisper "I'm scared... I'm scared of not having anyone" Willows shocked look makes me turn away from her. Willow puts her hand on my shoulder "I didn't know...but your not gonna be completely alone you got me....right?...." I quickly turn around and hug Willow "I'm so sorry I really don't know why I'm stressing out because your right I have you." Willow opens the truck door for me and I climb in and she get gets in and I look at her I smile and say "let's go to my parents and pack my stuff up and tell them this whole thing" she winks and turns the music up. We pull in front of my parents place and I go in first, My mother was in the kitchen doing dishes as I walk over to her she hugs me. "I'm so happy for you, and I'll always be here for you." I look at her with concern "what do you mean?" She said you didn't get the note from grandma Caroline?" I look at her and than at Willow "I thought I had to break your heart and tell you I'm leaving you and everyone because I got grandma's house...." my mother being how loving and caring she is says " baby I love you, and I'm happy that your getting out of this town I don't want you stuck in this hell hole" Willow and I laugh my mom says "now you young ladies get your stuff packed up, me and your dad will help you get it to New York" I look at Willow and say "like old times?" She looked confused "last one there is a rotten egg" I dash off, Willow strides off after me. We get to my room and jump on the bed. I laugh at the thought of when I used to scare her by crawling on the floor like the grudge. Willow looks at me and says "well we got a lot to do so we better get to it" I let out a big sigh and say "ooookayyyyyyy" I started with my closet which had most of my winter stuff and shoes in it. While Willow started in my dresser of all the normal clothing. Within 3 hours we managed to get it all done by the time we got it all done it was 10pm so my mom said we could crash there and leave first thing in the morning. So me and Willow went to the extra bedroom to watch scary movies and eat popcorn. It was 2am Willow passed out, I grabbed a blanket and covered her up. I went to the bathroom and turned all the lights off in the house and returned to the bedroom. Willow sat up and said "where did you go? I got really cold and scared because your an asshole and tourchured me when we were kids about crawling on the floor and doing that dumb shit" I started to laugh "I'm sorry" I said in between laughing. I layed down next to her and cuddled her, I tell Willow "we better go to bed so we can get up in the morning" she said "yeah your right because I'm hard to wake up in the morning goodnight Carmen" I close my eyes and say "goodnight Willow I love you"
