ryan: skatepark!! get your ass here
me: oookay

I put a sweater and jeans on. I put my Vans on and went to the bathroom to do a quick makeup, just eyeliner and some mascara.

I ran downstairs and saw my dad.

What the fuck ?

He wasn't supposed to be here.

-Oh hey honey. Hum, we're back here for a week and we have something to announce you.

I frowned.

-Okay... What is it ? I asked confused.

-Come here.

I sat down on the couch in the living room. My mom and my dad were standing in front of me.

I didn't like this.

I was scared of whatever they would announce.

-Okay. So... We thought you could move in with us to study photography in New York. We called the university and everything is fine for the inscriptions, my dad said.

-What ? New York ? No way. There's a photography university in Scranton too. No way I'm leaving Pennsylvania.

-It's just for your studies. That's nothing. And you will have more opportunities in New York than in Scranton or in the whole state of Pennsylvania, he explained.

-Still no. I'm not leaving this state, I'm sorry.

-You will. We already inscribed you, my mom said.

-What ? I frowned, chocked. My dad nodded. All my friends are here. My boyfriend is here. There's no way I'm leaving them.

-You'll make new friends, my mom said.

-You don't struggle with social anxiety ! And there's no way I'll be leaving my boyfriend for a year and a half, living miles away from him !

I could feel tears starting to form in my eyes. I didn't want to leave for New York. Not for that long.

-You don't have anything to say about it. That's already planned. You'll be in New York with us by the end of August.

I sighed and got up, angry. I just took my skateboard and left. I was crying.

I didn't want to leave the people I loved the most. Just for stupid studies. Even though I wanted that diploma.

I just couldn't.

How was I gonna live without my friends and without my boyfriend.

They were literally the only reason I didn't commit suicide.

For real.

I texted Jaime.

me: are you going to the skatepark ?

jaime: yup. why ?

me: I'm crying like a baby rn and I don't want the guys to know about it. I'll need your help..... I'm sorry for being a drag

jaime: you're not a drag bb. what's happening??

me: I'll explain

me: but please meet me somewhere before the skatepark and preferably alone. I don't want anybody else to see me crying :/ especially not vinny

jaime: alright no problem :/ <3

She ran to me and hugged me. We were in the park next to the skatepark.
