After a painful month which went to slowly for my pleasure, 9 September, the day we're leaving to Australia, finally came by. I’m really excited. And I know it may sound bad to say but I won't leave anything important behind, so yeah, I’m really happy. My parents don't give a shit about me and they are never home because of their works, my brother and sisters don't live with us anymore and are all out of the country and my only real friends in here are Vanessa and Ana and they are going with me, so clearly I won't miss anything. But in Vanessa and Ana's case it's different. Vanessa has a really strong relationship with her mum even if they don't spend too much time together as they would like because of her mum's work and I know Ana will also miss her parents and sister, but when I told them I wanted to go to Australia they decided to move with me, during these four years of friendship we have been doing everything together and they don't want to leave me now.

I’m really thanked for that, because without them there with me it wouldn’t be the same, they had always been by my side and I would miss them too much. I love those girls, I might not show that, but I hope they know it, I'm just not used to show what I fell.

It toke a lot to convince their parents, just after promising they would come to visit every time they could, that they would take care and be careful, that they would call and skype every day and go one, they finally gave them permission to go to Australia.

Vanessa's mum will be picking me up in ten to take me and the girls to the airport, and I'm still waiting for my parents to show up so I can say good bye, because after all they are still my parents, but of course their job is more important than their own daughter. After the said ten minutes, I heard a horn outside, so I decided to give up on waiting for them.

I opened the door and saw Vanessa coming in my way to help me with my bags. I will not take too much things, just the most important, like my favourite clothes, computer, bathroom things and all that crap, and of course my teddy, because yeah, I'm a 18 years old who still sleep with a teddy, but is just because I like to have something to cuddle with and it was given to me by my nephews, so it is really important to me. Since my parents are rich as shit, they insisted in send me money for the house, school, a new car since I'm going to leave mine in Portugal, and anything I might need, so I can buy what I can't take, but I still have the intention to get a job, I don't want to dependent on my parents forever.

When I was about to get in the car I heard someone call my name and turned around to see my parents pulling at the roadway and running in my direction.

"I'm so sorry, dear." My mum said hugging me. "The traffic is awful. Hope you have a nice flight. I'm going to miss you."

"Thank you." I said hugging her andburying my head on her chest. The hug felt nice, and I honestly I missed this. "I'm going to miss you too." I said honestly. That is the true. They might be awful parents and I might lie to myself saying that I won't miss them, but the true is that I will. I will miss my parents, the ones from when I was 5 years old and the time when they cared about me and spent time with me.

"We're sorry for anything of bad we ever done and hope you know we love you." She said and I stayed silence just nodding, trying tohold back my tears because I'm just that fucked up who can't say love you back to their parents.

"Take care and hope to see you again soon." My dad said hugging me when my mum let go of me.

"I don't know if I can come this year, but in case Rita and Miguel come for Christmas, I will try." I replied taking a deep breath before, referring to my sister and brother who live in France. I don't see them since my birthday on February and I miss them. "I have to go now, I can't miss my airplane. Bye." I said walking back to the car and giving them a little wave.
