It was the year -2019-or future-, and I was preparing for my new life in college! My life in high school was a bit of a blur, but college had something new in store for my life. At the time, my boyfriend [B/N] and I planned on attending the same college! I was beyond excited. [B/N] made my life full of utter joy!! I was in a relationship with him since my Sophomore year in high school, and although we were miles apart... We kept in contact keeping our relationship strong. However, little did I know my life was going to change that day! A new life, at a new college, with [B/N] waiting for me to embrace in his arms. I was excited beyond words.

But, something strange happened.... I was so excited about my new college life, but was carried away by an uncontrollable desire.... While I packed my bags, I was startled by an interesting sight in my window. A wild deer, with a red-auburn streak of fur starred into my eyes. Intrigued, I starred back at the creature, seemingly slipping into a trance with it. Usually, a normal person would usually scare the deer away... but this deer was not scared of me, rather, drawn to me. Inching closer and closer to my window, looking at me with intense eyes. My consciousness was seemingly controlled by a unknown force, as I also walked closer and closer to the deer. I was drawn to this deer by some otherworldly force. I fondly walked closer and closer to my window, falling deeper and deeper into this trance. As I moved closer and closer, I was filled with more and more intrigue.

"Why am I so drawn to this deer?" I thought. "This aura I feel, why does it feel so right?"

I was unsure of myself, but this deer made me feel something I had never felt before. The deer and I were soon face to face, only separated by the thin glass window. I starred at the deer, transfixed by its beauty and elegance. The connection felt so strong between the deer and I that the world surrounding me started to fade. The walls, the floor, the window, the entire atmosphere seemingly faded away. Just the deer and I looking into each-others eyes.. Complete peace and silence was reached... I felt complete in that minuscule moment, but why? Something about this deer drew me in.... I felt so drawn to the deer that I reached out to stroke the fur...

"[Y/N] [Y/N]!!! Come ON!!! The PLANE IS ABOUT TO LEAVE!!" My mother screamed.

Suddenly, the world reappeared in the blink of an eye. Startled, I fell backward, breaking the trance.

"Mom... I was in the middle of something!"

"In the middle of what, packing!?! We. Have. To. Gooooooo! Otherwise, you are gonna miss your flight!" My mom shouted.

"Okay!! I'm coming!" I replied.

I quickly arose to see if the deer was still there, but it was gone. It was as if what I saw never even happened. But there was no way that was my imagination. Something strange happened, a wild and strange thing.

I quickly packed my bags, in a very clumsy matter, and bolted to the front door. My mother starred at me with a sarcastic glance and chuckled,

"Oi yoi yoi, you are going to be the death of me one day." I chuckled and said,

"That's right, you better watch out for my evil schemes."

We chat for a while, and traveled in my mom's car to the airport. I talked a lot about [B/N], and how we planned to meet at my new dorm. I was so excited for my new life, but as I looked through my car-seat window, I could not help but ponder about what that deer meant.

"Why did I stare at the creature?" I asked myself.

"Does the deer have any deeper meaning?"

I kept pondering on the topic, but I could not find a logical explanation. What could have possibly drawn me in? The information filled my body to the brim, and I couldn't help but pour it out of my mouth..

"M-mom..?" I asked.

She looked at me with a little concern, "Yes [Y/N]?"

The situation came pouring out of my mouth, "Do you ever.... see things mom?"

She looked concerned, "See things?"

I tried to explain in a way that made sense, "It's just, earlier today while I was packing my bags... I saw a deer.."

She looked surprised, "A deer? Outside of our house?"

"Yeah," I blurted, " And, it was strange because the deer and I starred at each other... and... I had some other-worldly connection with it."

My mother looked at me even more concerned, "Do you think you're just worried about college life? Maybe the deer symbolizes your new stage in life."

I took my mom's words into consideration.. I was worried about college life, maybe the deer symbolized my new fear of college? But why? There was no logical explanation, only a deer that I felt I had a connection to... Maybe it was all my imagination..

"Yeah, maybe.."

I seemingly forgot about the deer for a moment and I noticed while looking out the window that a new life was awaiting me. All of the things in the past were leaving me, and I was approaching a new stage of my life.

"Maybe the deer... is?" I thought about what the deer meant.. But still could not think of an explanation..

I arrived at the airport. A little nervous, I grabbed my bags and thought my life again. The entire world I knew, would be gone in an instance. I was entering a new stage in my life, falling into the unknown... At the time, I was excited for this new stage in my life. However, I would eventually realize this new stage would bring a more immediate kind of change. A change, that a person cannot take back... I turned to my mother and embraced her with my love.

"Be safe sweetie. Remember, I will always think of you while you are away. If I could, I would come with you... But you are entering a new stage in your life, a stage where you will have to fend for yourself...." She begins to tear up, "I love you sweetie, but you are 18 now, and you are ready for this exciting new stage of life." My mother says smiling, but nearly bursting into tears.

I immediately fell into her arms, "What if I am not ready mom? What will I do if I can't fend for myself?"

My mother smiled warmly, "Sweetie, you may not know it yet, but you are ready. You are a beautiful, sweet, kind soul. I have no doubt in my mind that you will succeed... You are so strong.." She cries, "I love you sweetie, I will always be here to guide and support you."

I fell into my mothers arms exclaiming, "I love you too!"

We hugged for what seemed like hours. I loved my mother to bits, and couldn't seem to quite let go of my past. But eventually, I separated from my mom and waved goodbye. My mother, tearing up, also waved one final goodbye. This was the end of my begging stage, it was time to start anew with my college life...

Or was it?
