The next day went by in packing. Madison dropped by for helping me in packing.
While packing there were times when we both cried and hugged each other.
I felt bad for leaving my real friends back here. They always had my back no matter what I did. Mady was my first friend when we moved to Minnesota.

After we were done, Alex joined in for the dinner. He was soaking wet, it didn't look like he had his shower after the football practice.

"You are gross Alex, couldn't you come here after a shower " cried Mady. She couldn't bear the smell of sweat especially when it came from Alex.

"I wanted to surprise my Little sister with best ever hug."
With that he opened his arms and ran towards Mady. They both ran round and round the dining table until my mom finally settled them.

"so Tess will you go out with me? " Alex  cut the silence with his words.

"nopes...and come on when are you going to drop this. "
He has been doing this shit of asking me out since we were sophomore and hasn't got over it yet.

"till when my ears don't get a yes"

"for your kind information , we have been going out to places ever since we became friends ."

"if hanging out with all the friends is what you mean by going out with me then yes "
He had a point. We have gone places but never alone but with the whole crew. Well we weren't dating so I would always pass.

My mom and Jen joined the table and we started talking about things. Things people do in college which but naturally included the word S*x.
Well it wasn't obvious but yeah 80% it was.

We all chatted for the next few hours until Alex and Mady left. I went straight up to the room to give it a last look. Not exactly last but in the morning it will be all rushed up I wouldn't get time to give a last look.

After I was done sitting in the room for like an hour which felt like a few minutes, I started checking on my stuff and essentials.

I took out my box of craft and along with them fell "the letters" written by someone I once knew. I don't want to recall the details so I shoved them back at the corner of the cupboard.

After we come here we sold our house to the Rodriquez. They were a nice family. I don't know how they are now. Mason Rodriquez had these letters posted to my mom after  'someone' posted it to my old address.

Mason was the only one who knew where we were going and our address. Mom told him to keep it secret because I begged her, to not let any one know where we were going.

I didn't tell her the reason back then but she figured out that it had something to do with Logan.

I dozed off in a while laying on my bed looking up at the night sky stickers on the ceiling.

I  was woken up by Jen constantly hitting my door. It felt like give her another minute and she might break the door open.
"You are getting late lazy bugger " she barked from the other side of the door.
I got up went to the bathroom and then got ready.

I rushed down just to find my mom pointing towards the couch.
"look who's here ."
I jumped at the site of grandma Daya and Max. Max was a 2 year old saint Bernard.
When ever grandma came by for vacations she would always get him along.
He slept with me in my bed and I just love him.
"Hello grams I missed.... "

Grams pulled me in a tight hug and completed my sentence.
"I missed you too my girl and I'm more than happy for you.... I can't wait to see my young girl go to college. "

"Practically you won't see me going because it's far off from here" I spoke out with a sad smile.

"So what happened. I'll pay you a visit when ever I feel like. "

"Yeah you are always welcome grams."

"Tess the cab is here" interrupted my mom.

"I'll be there in a jiffy ."I responded

My luggage was already in the car. Beside the car I saw my friends, standing. I went to them and hugged them all. Mady couldn't look up, She was about to cry me a river.
I talked to them and said my good byes.

I hugged my mom, Jen and grams, before I could set my feet in the
Endeavour I was pulled back by my grams.
"Aren't you forgetting something baby?"

"uhm, no I guess. "I replied blankly.

She pointed towards Max and handed me the leash. Was she telling me to take Max with me?

"I know how attached you are to this monster and I know you will need someone to keep you company there to I just....... "
I cut her off and hugged her to my fullest potential.
"I love you grams. "
"I love you too, sweety. "

The time had come to finally go...

I plugged in my ear pods and played Goodbye (song above)  to cheer myself up. I  slept for an hour until I was brought back to life - thanks to Max for constantly licking my arm.

We were getting closer to the town. It was only an hour and a half  to reach the destination.

I had to do something for calming myself. I stared outside the window at the tall trees.
I started wondering what had actually changed in these 4 years.

Back when I was 13, I was clumsy, chubby, and had little stature .
I dressed like 'a potato rag sack' that's what I was called for wearing  baggy clothes  and those hideous glasses.

Well now I'm no more short ,I'm 5'6 . I am a gym addict, so you can guess  that I'm no more chubby...
I underwent the sight surgery last year so I'm no more a speco. Before that I used lenses.
And I do not wear baggy clothes any more.

"We are in Virginia " said the driver.
After 10 min we were at a house,  which I suppose was the one my mom  rented.

I insisted my mom to get me an apartment but she was persistent with the fact that she would get me a house instead.

She thinks that I need my space and being in college ,I would throw frat parties .
Which surely wasn't happening.

I got down the car with Max and driver settled my stuff in front of the door of my new 'home'.
