I end up falling asleep and I wake up the next morning remembering what I agreed to yesterday. A date with Brad.

"Stella." My mom calls.

I ignore her and just lay there.

I'm too tired to talk.

"It's 10:30! You need to get up." She yells.

I struggle to stay awake but I grab my crutches and head to the dining room where everyone goes in my house.

"What?" I ask with a sleepy voice.

"Are you planning to sleep all day? You can't just do whatever you please. You need a job or something. A degree." She complains.

"Oh and exactly why can't I?" I remark.

"Why are you acting like this? Why do you want to throw away your future?" She yells.

"Me? Look at your oldest daughter! She got married and is pregnant. She's barely 20!" I yell back.

"She actually got her associates degree before she even graduated high school!" She corrects.

She did.

I stay silent and stand there feeling like a complete idiot.

"Look. I'm not saying Aleah is better than you, but your still young. Do something with your life." She says softening her voice a little.

I take her words into consideration. She's right. I don't want to be in a house alone. I don't want to be poor or unsuccessful even though my mom is really rich. They can't take care of me forever...

I need to be strong.

"Your right mom." I say.

"What?" She asks.

"Your right. I should." I agree.

"Really?" Her face instantly lightens up.

"What do I need to do?" I ask.

"If you go to college, I'll pay for anything you need." She says.

"It doesn't matter mom. I still have money saved up." I say.

"But I have money." She says.

"Okay." I say.

"I'll handle it. Go research some colleges near." She demands.

I don't fight her call. I crutch myself back to my room and I get my laptop that I haven't used in ages to look.

As I'm scrolling through dates for college, I start to think that my birthdays coming up. So is Aleah's. I've been saying that I'm 19 but I'm not.

My birthday is December 19.

Aleah's is actually in 3 days, the 12th of December.

I should've celebrated my birthday before Harry left. It's just too complicated for him to come back for a day and leave again.

I shake the thoughts off my mind and look for more things about college. My future is important.

HARRY'S POV

After long hours on the flight I final arrive to and airport in Texas.

My nerves are trembling because I don't know where to go or what to do.

I don't even know if I'm going to live on campus.

I take my luggages and drag them thought the airport to the entrance.
