Around the month of September...
Xyphen's POV (the last time this kid got his own POV was when we was under 10 years of age, now he's 18! 😂😂)

"It's moving day now, I guess..." I said to myself as I grabbed the last box from my room and headed downstairs. A familiar tune was being played on the keyboard that mom and dad bought me a couple years ago.

I know this song...

"...[Pre-chorus]
C                           D
   I'm all alone inside
                                Em                        
Though there are people I'm beside
                    Em
Who aren't trearing me alright
C
   We watched the world go by
                    Em
And all the time, you're by my side
                       G
Who will not leave me here to die

[Chorus]
                         C     D      Em
Cause I have one more night
                    C   D  Em
To say I'm not alright
        G
And I know I'll come back for you
          D
Back home, you're waiting for me

[Verse 2]
No one was there for me

But you gave me a light to see

So, I know you're caring for me

So say I'm down for this

[Pre-chorus]
C                           D
   I'm all alone inside
                                Em                        
Though there are people I'm beside
                    Em
Who aren't trearing me alright
C
   We watched the world go by
                    Em
And all the time, you're by my side
                       G
Who will not leave me here to die

[Chorus]
                         C     D      Em
Cause I have one more night
                    C   D  Em
To say I'm not alright
        G
And I know I'll come back for you
          D
Back home, you're waiting for me
C.     D.      Em
One more night
                    C    D Em
I'll make it oh-alright
C      D        Em
One more night
                     C     D    Em
Maybe just one last time
                                                    C
I'll see you before the end of me..."

It was my father playing the song I composed last year.

"D..dad! Why did you play that?" I asked with a soft voice but still shocked.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanna remember the last song you composed." He replied, "Do you ever wanna go back to composing?" He asked.

"I don't know. I'll think about it." I thought for a little while then thought of something, "Hey, dad." I called and he looked at me, "Mind if I bring that with me?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. Why not?" He replied and I put it in its bag and put the last box inside the trunk.

"Oh, I can't believe that my unico ijo is finally going to college!" My mom said and hugged me, "Thank you, mom!" I said losing breath because of the tight hug she gave.

"Stay safe and if you're going out to party, make sure to be back at your dorm before 10pm — that's your curfew, college man!" My dad reminded as I nod in agreement.

"Well, at least I have time to have fun!" I said and hugged my parents and other siblings before riding my car and driving away. Then I started singing 'No Place' by 'Backstreet Boys'.

"I've been to Paris, made my way down to Rome
Seen the sun setting on the beach in Mexico
But I could care less, 'cause I was all alone
And there ain't no way to touch your body over the phone
