this was it. it was february 15th. the day before your birthday. you were going on your laptop searching for one-way tickets to japan. you were going to surprise him.
luckily, you found $77 ones. even more lucky, the plane starts boarding at 10:25pm. " it's still 8:45, " you muttered.
quickly, you started packing. you bought 1/3 of your wardrobe because japan has cuter clothing-because you wanted to save space. being born in japan, you were already well acquainted with the language and culture.
you figured you could just write a note for your mom to find the next morning but she beat you to it, " you're leaving aren't you? " she looked at you calmly. you looked at her with a guilty expression and nodded to her signalling a 'yes'. she gave you a big smile and hugged you tightly, " i'll miss you, "
your mother and yourself distanced each other ever since she started dating steven. but you knew you were going to miss her either way. she kissed your temple,
" 私があなたを愛するのをやめる日はないだろう "
[there isn't going to be a day where i'll stop loving you]
" m-mom, " you croaked. she gave you a ride to the airport and gave you one last hug, " i found out what steven did to you, i'll be breaking up with him, " you felt guilty but you still felt good. you said your goodbyes and you were in the sky.
