LEA'S POV

"im going to the bar and i forgot my gun so, leave the service pistol in the bushes infront of the house and I'll take it in 5" he told me and i got up. Honestly i needed to get away from nana for 5 minutes because looking at her, in her eyes made everything worse for me. Im trying my best not to cry right now because if i start now, i won't be able to stop.
      I walk upstairs, making sure nobody is around. I know this is going to be hard, i just cannot leave nana with no answers, she's clever and i know if i don't tell her something logical she'll start investigating this entire thing.
    I walk downstairs, going outside. In hiding the gun under my jacket that im holding in my hand. There are too many teenagers making out with each other. I went to the bush and there were two guys standing, smoking cigarettes. Fuck.
   "Hey Lea, Happy birthday once again" said one of the guys, i believe his name is Luke.
     "Thanks." I smile and look at the other one. After him eyeing me, i put on a happier smile.
      "Um, what are you guys doing here, y'all are missing out on the fun INSIDE" i say, in a fun tone, even tho im about to cry.
      "Yeah she's right" the other one said and they both started walking inside.
      "I'll be right back" i said and winked my eye at them. I turned around and saw my dads car pulling in.
       "Here you go" i said, opening the door and putting my jacket on the seat, next to my dad.
     "I want all these fuckers to be gone until 1am" he said and i nodded my head. I walked back into the backyard, and nana wasn't sitting next to pool anymore. She probably went upstairs in the bathroom or my room so we can continue this talk in more closed space.
     I walk upstairs and when im about to walk into my room, i see light coming out of my dads room. The door is half open and if i see a random couple fucking in my dads bedroom i swear to god i might cut their throats open.
    But my mouth is open wide when i see nana kneel down and close the drawer full of my dads pistols. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.
   She looks back at me, confused and also kinda scared.
"Can you explain what is this?" She asked me, her voice shaking but her tone is still sharp.

"What are you doing in my dads room?" I ask her, trying to get nanas drunk mind off of what she just saw

"What are you doing in my dads room?" I ask her, trying to get nanas drunk mind off of what she just saw.
  "I followed you and then someone told me you went inside here so i came and i saw the drawer was slightly opened" she says, looking right into my eyes. I have no idea should i just come up with a lie or get mad at her for going inside here and not minding her own bussiness. But being aggressive isn't something im capable of doing, not when it comes to nana.
  "Well, those are my dads guns" i say like it's nothing. Well, it is nothing for me but not for her.
  "Why does he have so many?" She asks me, coming closer to me.
  "Those are all personal weapons for safety, ya know he's a psycho when it comes to being safe" i say with as chill tone as possible.
  "Okay" she says, still confused as fuck. I hope she forgets about this.
  "Let's continue out talk in my bedroom" i say, as i free the way for her to walk out of the room. She nods and walks out.
   I lock the door with a key, like i should've done before and let out a big breath. I almost got exposed. My birthday is a living hell tonight.
   We walk in my room, and i sit down on my bed, she does the same. I don't think i can take it, seeing her cry but i have to tell her.
   "I've secretly applied in that collage, because i feel like i need a new environment and also my dad got a job in NY" i lie.
   "Oh really?" She says.
   "Yeah, you know he has been working on the boring small jobs and they finally saw his talent and offered to read lectures in the same collage that im going in" i say. I feel how my eyes water up. I feel horrible, disgusting and miserable, that i have to lie to her.
   "I just cannot believe that you're going to leave everything behind, i know it's because of your dad but you should do something YOU want and not because you feel bad for your dad" she said and i immediately took her hand, and held them tightly.
    "Listen, we're gonna work this out" i said. No we're not. Forgetting her will be easier for me when i won't have to see her face everyday.
    "We're gonna work this long distance thing out, i believe in us" i say and i stop because there's nothing i can say. I lie endlessly and the big ball is stuck in my throat. If i say one more word I'll cry.  
   "Well....i believe in us too....but we planned our university years so differently and now everything's changed" she says.
    "I know, but everything is going to be amazing" i lie. Ofcourse, im going to leave, kill people and she's going to actually attend university and have a normal young life that she deserves.
   "So you're leaving tomorrow?" She said.
   "Yeah" i say, trying to hide the pain. I'd usually let it out but i have to be strong this time. From now on, I'll never let emotions take over me.
   "Then let's have the last fun night, the best memory" she said and i hugged her.
     We went downstairs and drank a bit more, then everybody sang happy & sad by Kacey Musgraves.
     "Is there a word for the way that I'm feeling tonight? Happy and sad at the same time, You got me smiling with tears in my eyes" we all sang, but i didn't feel happy at all. All i felt was sadness and dissapointment.
       And like i promised rick, everybody left at 1 am.
Nana was the last one left, we sat outside, looking at the moon, and talking.
     "You know how much im going to be missing you" she said, and honestly this was the last thing i needed to hear tonight. I tried to fight her, so that i wouldn't have to say goodbye but here we are.
     "I'll be missing you too" and my stomach drops low, it's like someone punched me.
      "Please, be careful out there and visit me on thanks giving or my birthday" she said hugging me.
       "Ofcourse i will" and i let go of her and watch her walk away. That was the last time i saw her.

Little did I know everything was starting from this day ...
