I look into my sleeping phone screen. I pressed my home button and it showed a picture of me and Michael on our first date on the Ferris wheel. Then my phone started ringing it was Michael.

*phonecall concluded*
Then I heard knocking on my door it was Della. So your really moving out to college today and it's without us going."
I looked down and said " yes i'am I do feel bad although." She shook her and laughed and said "don't feel bad, you're growing up and your moving on. I'm sorry a guy had to force to move."
Then I looked at her and said "I'm not considered weak for this ?"
Then she said " you are not, I'm about to do the same with our sisters situation." Then she hugged me and helped me moved my bags in the living room. Then I looked at her said " do you think mommy will be happy on my decision."
Then Della looked at the window and said "she'll be feeling the same feeling I'm feeling which is happy for the fact you grew up upset that your leaving. And most of all proud knowing you'll be safe with a boyfriend." I smiled and said "your probably right."
The clock read 5:25am then Michael's car pulled out. Della started to cry. I hugged her. Then Michael knocked on the door, we opened it. Michael hugged me and then he kissed me and said " ready to go kitten." I shook my head up and down. He kissed me on the cheek and grabbed one of my bag and exited out the door. Then della said "go.." I grabbed my two remaining bags and exited out the door." I got in the car and sat in the passenger seat eventually Michael got in the car. He started the car. I looked at the window then he grabbed my hand and said " are you ready carter?" I shook my head yes. He started the car and looked at me. "Close your eyes.." He whispered to me so I did. I felt him grab my hand and slipped a ring on my finger then I felt his lips pressed against mine. I open my eyes to see him looking outside the window blushing and nervously tapping his hand against his knee. Then I look at my hand to find a sterling silver ring. then CartexzCat said *a promise ring he's wearing one too it's beautiful how did he know my ring size ?* I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Oh Michael... A promise ring.. It's beautiful I love it. He turned to me and said "I'm glad you love it...Craig.. I want it to be serious between us no one else. If you don't want to you can remove the ring and put it back when you certain if you do. I look at him and hugged him and said " oh Michael I'm definitely keeping the ring on." Then Michael grabbed my hand and kissed me gently on the lips and said " honestly right here, right now, there is no other place I'd rather be.." I blushed then we pulled off and went to Oscar house the time read 6:45am. Michael said "so we're here"
I said "alright I'll be back." I got out the car. I see Oscar sitting on his stoop. * I can do this* CartexzCat said.
O: hello Craig
C: hey ozzy...
O: so what you called me out this early
C: I need closure Oscar of why all this happened
O: I guess I started acting a bit hostile because I feared losing you like I did. I didn't mean to swing at you. I'm sorry
C: I forgive you Oscar.. But me and you is probably not going to happen again
O: I figured as much considering your wearing a promise ring now and I'm alright with that carter. *begins to smile* I know I became a dick to you but in all honesty I wish the best with Michael okay just because he makes you happy and as cliche as this sounds when your happy I'm happy.
C: awe thanks Oscar it means a lot to me. *begins to hug him* I was wondering if we can still be friends.
O: only that makes you happy kitten, thanks Craig I was hoping we can do the same. But where you two going so early anyways?
C: we're going away for college starting today fresh for the new semester.
O: you two are leaving ? Because of me I know it's fine. But anywho but have fun and be safe Craig. I love you okay.
Cc: this is the Oscar I fell in love with.. The emotional, honest, sensational Oscar. But I guess it's too late.

Then Oscar gave me one last warm hug. Then I walked back to the car. Then Michael looked at me and said "you cool Craig?" Michael shook my head yes. Then we continued in upstate. When we pulled over to take a break the time read 2:30pm. I went to the back of the car and went to sleep. I woke with my head on Michael's lap with him petting my head. I said "Michael? If your back here with me who's driving." He looked down at me and said "no one were here at the college already I was waiting til you woke up. It's 5:34pm" Michael ! We need to check in with the registrar before its closed hurry up babe." He laughed and said "I already went in and did everything the only thing we have to do is bring our stuff into our dorm. We got out the car started moving our stuff in the dorm. Then I looked at him and asked "so how many people are to a dorm?" He responded and said " I believe two." I said "good at least we can finally have our privacy. We open the door to see two other people in the room with four beds. The first guy is tall but a little shorter than Michael. He had short light brown hair and bright brown eyes that can make you melt. He had a muscular build on him and wasn't overly excessive. He was doing pull ups on the bar then he jumped off and said " hey bro, the other two guys finally showed up." He walked up to me and extended his hand and said " hey my name is nick please to meet you." I shook his hand followed by Michael. I smiled and blushed at him and said "it's great to meet you too." Then CartexzCat said * this guy is a hunk, is he some type of model. But not better than Michael though.* then he nick turned his head and said "my roommate is sleep." Then he yelled "bro! Wake up!" And tossed a football at the lump on the bed which revealed later to be his roommate. He was kinda scruffy with peach fuzz on his face, almost perfect eyebrows, short eye lashes, spiky dark brown or black hair it was hard to tell. But he has piercing blue eyes. His teeth straight but a bit of an overbite but nothing major. Then he got out of bed and had a less muscular side but not fat. Then he said " sorry I was sleep because I went to sleep late last night because someone brought there girlfriend over and kept me up all night." Then nick scratch the back of his head and said "yeah sorry about that she wanted come over." Then he stale faced nick and said " one we can get in trouble for having a girl in our dorm after ten and two just having a isn't enough you had fuck her also." Then nick said "dude" and pointed to me and Michael. "Ooooh I'm sorry again how rude of me my name is drake." Then he shook our hands. Then me and Michael introduced our self. Then Michael said " is there gym here opened?" Then nick said "yeah actually I was about to head there before you two showed up. Wanna head there ?" Then Michael turned to me and said " do you mind if I go or do you want to come?" I said " I'm fine you go ahead im going to call home and let them know we made it safe and make stuff up okay." Then Michael leaned in and gave me a kiss. Drake and nick eye brows rose and both said " you two are gay together ?! " I said "yes he's boyfriend that's not a problem is it." Nick said "nope I have no problem I have a lady." And drake "said nope I have no issues either I'm comfortable with my sexuality. But I'm with another couple.. Hehehehe here...." They left and I continue to call my home and told them on my status. Drake just stared at me and asked me " so how long you and Michael been together?" I looked at him and said "we been together for 5 1/2 months" then he said "awes that's cute I figured it must've been awhile considering you two are wearing promise rings." Then I said "oh you noticed, *begins to blush* he actually gave it to me today before we left Brentwood."
Then drake laughed and said " you two traveled pretty far just to get here huh?"
I said " yes, how long you and nick knew each other?"
Then drake said " I knew him for 2 semesters now so around 8 months."
Then it was an awkward silence between us. Then drake said "hey I got an idea how about me , you, nick, and Michael go out there a chinese buffet not so far from here."
I said "sounds like a plan."
Then Michael and nick walk through the door real sweaty and looking sexy. Then we both proposed the idea to them. They agreed but nick is deciding to bring his girlfriend.
