"Jack" I laughed loudly as he grabbed me by my waist throwing my body over his shoulder he walked towards the pathway to my front door, "there you go babe" he gently set me down before opening the door for me.

"Such a gentleman," I sarcastically say and smirked as he chuckled giving me a soft kiss on the nose, we held hands and walked to the kitchen and see my mother standing by the island counter her hands were on a piece of paper as she looked up from it and smiled at us in awe.

"Hey sweetie, hey Jack - what are those gifts for?" her puzzled expression caused a nervous laugh from Jack as he answered "well, I bought y/n some valentine gifts because I thought it would be nice for her to have something on this day." he rubbed the back of his neck and looked at me.

"aww, so sweet. He's a keeper n/n." my mother smiled again while holding her hands up to her chest as if she couldn't handle the love from Jack towards me "y/n, I need to talk to you... This is important." she got serious as she changed glances between Jack and me.

"yeah, for sure mom what is it?' I followed her into her room upstairs after giving Jack a look to go into my room and wait, I was partly worried but usually, nothing dramatic occurs in my life when it comes to talks with my mother.

"I'm, I am so sorry." my mother let out a shaky sigh before taking a seat on her bed, I sat down beside her while she continued with her sentence, I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, the kind that only erupts when something bad is about to happen. "what is it, mom?" I said trying to remain calm.

"It's your dad." she began, "His job moved locations and he can't come back here, the cooperate decided to send him to a location in Florida," she tells me, I sat there for a good five seconds processing what the hell she had just said. I can't believe it, she doesn't even have to tell me the rest of it I already know what is going to happen.

"Does this mean we're moving?" my lip quivered trying so hard to not ball my eyes out, it may be a good thing for some people to move... New beginnings, a fresh start etc. But this was not the same, I was leaving Jack, Sophia, Millie and hell I was even leaving that shitty school.

"Mom why can't we just stay here dad already owns this home he paid the mortgage, we are settled into this home it hasn't even been a year yet and he's already getting us to move, again?" I huff in frustration as my mom sighed softly, her eyes pleaded me like a baby puppy wanting human food. "It's not like he's even been apart of my life a lot anyway..." I mumbled

"This is an opportunity for you guys to truly bond now, he will have steady hours and a flexible schedule, it'll be nice for you two." my mom tries to persuade me as best as she could, but all I can think of is Jack.

"mom, six months ago I decided to take psychology to hope one day I can major in a master's degree as a psychologist. I ended up meeting Jack; the best thing that's happened to me in a while and now dad wants to come into my life and call all the shots just because he does some stupid engineering in Dubai?" I cross my arms waiting for a valid response from my mom, she stays silent.

"y/n, this isn't just your father's choice. I can't live here anymore it doesn't work for me and I'd rather be in Florida where the sun is warm and just know you aren't the only one who is in love I mean how else do you think you were conceived?"

"oh my god, mom! I don't want to know about you and dad's intimate relationship that's way too far like too much information for me." I gagged out loud being dramatic but I was upset with her and my dad. "I have friends here too mom. I've never really had any before and it's hard making them. I am truly going to be mad at you for a long time if we go through with this."

"Jack can come and visit, flight tickets aren't that expensive and if you like: your father and I can pay for his way there and back."

"I'm not about to compromise on this, why does dad even do this as he gets us to move then leaves the city for a good six or seven months then says we have to go to wherever he goes."

"I know he's not the best at remembering about others..."

"pfft. Clearly." I roll my eyes

"but he has always been able to provide for us no matter how hard it gets with the stress of moving. He's a hard-working man and I love him with all my heart or else I would have divorced him a long time ago if that wasn't the case," she said, I sighed

"I just wish I had a say." I got up off of the bed leaving her room to go see Jack I opened the door slowly revealing him laying on his stomach on my comforters watching a video on his phone, he looked up and smiled I forced a smile walking over to him on my bed he paused his phone and looked at me. "what did your mom have to say?" he wondered

"I-I should probably come clean and be honest about this." I started my breath hitched out of being nervous, Jack looked concerned as he sat up and grabbed my hands for comfort and to show I had all of his attention I looked down at the carpet as tears swelled into the corner of my eyes. "Jack..." I whimpered

"Babe, hey what's wrong?" his soft voice calmed me as he wiped my tears away and cupped my face gently in his hands looking me in the eyes with his dark brown ones it killed me, more than when my mom said that we were moving, he patiently waited for me to answer I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply.

"I'm moving..."
