I could hear his voice quake, his breathing falter and he took a deep breath and let it out slow.
"Please, just tell me. Get it over with..." I pleaded with him, it was torture hearing him on the verge of crying.
"I'm leaving you..im moving to Wyoming. We just dont have the money to stay here any longer, my moms brother is gonna help us out."
my chest got tight. I held the phone closer to my ear and tried to blink away the already forming tears.
"Please...please don't, you don't have to."
"I have too, we're probably leaving in June, just as school ends."
My vision got even more cloudy and I ran outside, "Why? Why so soon? Can't you just stay with your dad or something? Maybe just, I don't know, stay a little longer into the summer? Can't you just.." my voice broke.
Actually to be more accurate, I broke. I started bawling, right in my driveway. Crying harder than i ever have, it drowned out the sound of all the passing cars. I just told him I had to go and hung up. I stayed on the driveway rocking back and forth crying and muttering the same thing over again...
"Why...why...why?"
Until my mom came out to carry me inside.

Hi :) So I do not write regularly, as you will soon see through the course of the story. No, I'm not a BAD writer, I just hate the actually typing part, it bores me. I'm gonna give a little insight into this story. I'm writing this because I think the story of how me and my boyfriend have had to deal with certain events is special, we've also gone though every relationship struggle in the book and then some. And still hopelessly in love. I'm hoping that by writing this people or couples can enjoy and learn from our faults, likeness, weaknesses, and how we love another enough to make it through the things we have. So if you've struggled with how to go through long distance, constant fighting, sex, love, parents, and the ups and downs in your relationship; this is for you!
I hope you enjoy :)
