"Mom?" I finally speak up, lifting my head off the mound of duvet we managed to put up together in the back of her old pickup truck, propping my arm up for support as I look at her.

"Yeah?" She replies, batting her long lashes as she looks at me with her huge bright blue eyes.

"I don't want to go to college." I sigh, not being able to meet her eyes. I look up at the stars twinkling way up there, miles and miles away, and I realize not even one of them could ever outshine my mother's eyes.

"I don't want you to go, either." She says quietly, whispering to herself more than to me.

"But you know you have to, Vi." She closes her eyes, as if the thought of me leaving physically pains her. She opens her arms, motioning for me to come closer. I lay my head on her chest, hearing her heart beat in sync with my own. She slowly rakes through my ebony hair, her fingers cold yet very careful and soft.

"I know." I close my eyes, fighting back the tears. I wrap my arms tighter around her, wanting her to be closer. I don't want to let go.

"Don't worry about it, honey. We still got a month left before you have to leave, don't we?" She says, trying to cheer me up. "And it's not like you'd be away forever. You'd still be able to come home during holidays and school breaks." I smile.

"It's going to be okay." She says after a moment of complete silence, just the constant sound of our breathing and the beat of our hearts, placing a kiss on my hair.

"Okay?" She looks at me and I lift my head off her chest.

"Okay." I smile and she does the same.
