corbyn's pov
em wasn't answering any of my calls or texts so i decided to go to her house. i knocked on the door and a middle aged woman answered, a woman i assumed to be her mom.
"hello, you must be corbyn."
"yes that's me, is emmaline home? she hasn't answered any of my calls or texts."
"that's because she doesn't want to see you anymore, you're bad for her image. she needs someone at her level of fame. she didn't respond to you because she didn't want to hurt your feelings."
"oh."
"yeah so it's probably best if you go home and never come back here."
"okay... well have a nice day mrs blake."
"you too corbyn."

emmaline's pov
i picked up my phone after waking up from the worst hangover ever. i decided to text corbyn back and tell him some lie just so he wouldn't get mad at me for drinking and stuff.
em: hey sorry i wasn't feeling well so i went to bed early.
corbs: whatever, just don't text me anymore.
em: did i do something wrong? i'm really sorry for not texting you back.
corbs: if you didn't want me to be in your life anymore you should've told me yourself. not through your mom.
em: what are you talking about?
corbs: i came by your house to check on you because i hadn't heard from you in a while and your mom told me that you didn't want to see me anymore. that's why you didn't text me back because you didn't want to hurt my feelings.
em: corbyn my mom is a liar, that's not true. i like you a lot and i like going places with you.
corbs: well looks like that's going to stop because why would your mom tell me that if it's not true. i'm sorry that i'm not famous enough for you emmaline blake. good luck finding someone rich and famous that actually cares about you like i do. well did. looks like you're just a spoiled brat that only cares about her image.
em: none of that is true corbyn, my mom cares about that stuff not me. she just likes getting a name for herself through me. that's not how i am at all, i care about you so much corbyn you have to believe me.
corbs: well i'm sorry but i don't think i can believe you, now i would advise you to not come near me or the rest of the guys. it's best for all of us if you don't come around anymore.
read at 12:45 p.m.i couldn't believe what just happened, i just lost people that i care about because of my mother. this was even worse than i thought. now i'm going to have to be this social media slave that never does anything for herself. my parents controlled me like i was a robot. now i just lost corbyn, he's all i had that was keeping me from ending it all. now i don't know what i'm going to do.
i sat up in my bed and tried to save myself from having a panic attack. tears were streaming down my face, it finally happened. my parents finally took everything i had away from me. i decided enough was enough.
i wouldn't leave my room till my parents were asleep. i packed a bag full of essentials because i decided i'm running away. after i get out of the house i will announce my boycott of social media. and then i will go completely m.i.a.
i was done with this life, screw la and screw everyone in it. i'm going to go to the one place that made me happy, new york.
i bought my ticket online and booked a hotel room, then i packed my laptop in my bag so no one could figure out where i was. i also turned off all ways possible to track any of my devices.
and one final fuck you to my parents, i stole money out of their bedroom so i could support myself.
—————
my parents were asleep finally so i climbed out of my window. i took it upon myself a long time ago to put a ladder outside my window so sneaking out would be easier. so here i was sneaking out my window and running towards my new life. i also decided when i got to new york i would change my name so that it would be a complete restart.
i ubered to the airport and then got on my flight, i also knew in new york i would need to find a job and get a car. i was serious about it this time, i just wish corbyn would've stuck around. but then again him and the boys were the only reason i stuck around for so long.

i got off the plane and went straight to the name changing place. i decided to change my name to lennon williams. i then made my way to my hotel room and decided to post about my social media departure.
