I sat there for a moment. Thinking. My life could be living with my parents and having a chance of breaking up with Noah, or live under free rules where ever I want but struggle to live. Everything could be infected or effected by this choice. Noah sat down with me on the bench and searched through his bag. When he found the thing he was looking for, he handing it so me. In cursive it said son on it. I unsealed the top of it to see a letter and an old picture of my family and I.

Dearest Son,
I love you. And even when I left I did. I will love you through everything. I don't care if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, black, blue, orange, white, I love you. And it hurts that I might never get to see your face again if you move. You deserve the best, and the. Best is with your mother. Everyone deserves somebody they love. You deserve Noah and remember Alice. Well, I deserve her. Don't listen to the ones you love, but give them a chance to speak. Your mother has worked hard to keep the family in line. And when I left, it went over board. I shouldn't have done that. But it was better for me. So if this will help you, leave. But if this does harm to you, stay.
Love,
Pops

My Sweetest pumpkin,
I know that it wasn't right to yell at you, because you have a boyfriend. But I just remember my childhood. I had a crush on the cutest girl in school. But when I told my mother that we decided to date, I told to never see her again. And I still haven't. I was told by my mother to marry a man, or he would be chosen for me. So I chose your father. But we weren't right for each other. So he left. It made my life feel like it was living under the rules of my mother and father again. You can be whatever you want. Just please come back home.
Love,
Mommy

My Best-friend and Boy-friend,
I love you. I love you. I love you. And I will not leave your side. Even if it means if I will have to leave my family. I love you that much. But I am not the only one that loves you. Your father doesn't care about who you are, he just wants you to be his son. Your mother is protective. And one of the reasons why is because she loves you. None of us want you to leave. And none of us want you to follow our decisions. But all of us love you.
Love,
Noah

Tears ran down my face as Noah whispered something in my ear.

"You're where you're meant to be,"

Closed my eyes as the letter was soaked with tears.

"I want to stay,"

I grabbed his arms as he lifted me up to my feet and kissed me on the cheek. We grabbed our bags as Noah called somebody.

"Hello? Yes this is he. Yes. I would like to have us picked up. If you don't do it, I'll smash an egg on your nightstand,"

That's when I knew it was his older brother, August.

I sat down on my bag as rain dripped down as I pulled out my phone. 648 new messages.

I opened up the slides to one of my group chats. They were having another fight.

Heather: Give it a break! You weren't even going to find the needle in the haystack!
Cody: What Is this all about?
Heather: Alejandro thought he could find the needle in the haystack
Duncan: When I took it out!
Alejandro: Because I did find it!
Courtney: Shut up or I'm leaving the chat!
Heather: Damn no
*Courtney has left the conversation*
Cody: Aw come on guys!
Heather: Admit it! You were trying to impress somebody by getting it!
Alejandro: Infact you!
Duncan: That's not a word
Alejandro: Hell ya
I left the chat and went to the next slide
Sadie: Omg! You are so cute Trent!
Katie: Hey! It was my turn to say the line!
Trent: Sorry. Back with Gwen
Gwen: Suckers
*Gwen has removed Sadie from this conversation*
*Gwen has removed Katie from this conversation*
*gwen has removed you from this conversation*
I moved to the next slide

Mom: How are you doing on the plane?
Is Noah taking it well?
Please come back if you hate it there
I love you

Then to the next

Dad: Respond to your mothers texts
Love you
Cody: Love you too
