*Cadences Pov*

A month later

I have one thing to say.

Hallelujah!

My cast is off and I can finally walk normally.

I go into my closet and get a sports bra and running shorts.

"Im going for a run." I say as I put my headphones in my ear.

"Okay. Be safe and on your way back, get the mail." My mom says.

"Alright." I go out the front door and start my run.

I grab the mail.

junk...

Junk...

Junk...

You've been offered a scholarship to one of the best boarding schools in France!

I freeze.

What?

I peer at the letter closely. Sure enough, it had my name, Cadence Lynn Caniff on there.

I wipe the sweat off my forehead and barge into the house.

"What is this?" I scream.

"Cadence what are you talking about?" My dad asks slowly.

"Im talking about this! France? Boarding school?"

"Oh. Cadence.."

"No dont 'Cadence' me. Tell me what this is!" I say furiously.

"We were thinking about sending you to boarding school. In France. Cadence you are brilliant and smart and this is an amazing opportunity." My mom reasons.

"For what? To be a slave in France?" I spit.

"Cadence Lynn you will not be a slave! Now tell me, what do you want to be when I grow up?"

A marine biologist. "I dont know." I roll my eyes.

"Yes you do."

"A MARINE BIOLOGIST OKAY?"

"You can peruse your dream of being one if you go to this school!" My dad yells.

"Are you going to make me go?" I ask, tears filling my eyes.

"We'll talk about it later. Hunny we just wanna do whats best for you." She extends her arm to touch me but I smack it away.

"Tell me when your ready." I say firmly, then go upstairs to cry.

I slam the door shut, and two bright faces stare at me. "CORA, CALI, GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

They hurry past me and I close the door again.

I need someone to talk to.

I get my phone and text Joe.

Cadence-Hey

He doesn't reply for a minute, but then my screen lights up.

Joe- Hey cutie

Cadence-Can I talk to you?

Joe- You already are;)

Cadence- im serious Joe.

Joe-Fine. Proceed

Cadence- My parents are thinking about sending me to boarding school in France.

Joe- are you gonna go?

Cadence- they might make me. Im not completely sure yet. But I dont wanna go.

Joe- what? You cant go Cade.

Cadence- I know J. But I dont have a choice.

Joe- run away.

Cadence-not a chance.

Joe-yeah, knowing you there was no chance of that happening.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

Cadence- gotta go. I think this is it:'(

"Cadence?" I hear a knock.

"Come in." I say casually.

My parents walk in with blank expressions, so now i am scared for whats about to happen.

"Cade, we have decided to-"

"Its not FAIR!" I interrupt.

"You havent even heard our answer." My dad frowns.

"Sorry, forced habit." I mutter.

"Well Cadence, we have decided to send you to that boarding school." Those were the words I never wanted to hear.

I break down in tears.

"What?"

"Yeah, babe, honestly we think this is good for you."

"Like you would know. You dont even care about me."

"Of course we care about you Cadence!"

"IF YOU CARED ABOUT ME THEN YOU WOULDN'T SEND ME TO THIS FUCKING SCHOOL!"

"Cadence! Pack your stuff we're leaving tomorrow morning."

I guess I cant say no to that.

I shove them out of my room and get my phone. I make a group chat with Joe, bailee and Brody.

Cadence: im moving to paris.

Bailee- what the hell Cade?

Brody: Were all coming over right guys?

Joe: definitely.

I loved my friends.

About ten minutes the door bell rang and I shoved Cali out of the way to open it. My smile at my friends and we do a group hug.

"We love you Cade. And were all gonna be right here when you get back." Bailee cries.

"I love you all too."

15 minutes later everyone starts to leave. I grab Joe's hand as he was leaving. "Wait."

I pull him closer to me and kiss him. "I love you Joe."

"Love you too cade." He smirks. I see a tear fall down his cheek and I wipe it away with my thumb.

"Dont cry. It'll be okay."

-----------------

Im currently waiting at the airport right now. My family surrounds me.

"Flight 242 to Paris, France."

"Goodbye guys. I love you all so much." I cry.

"We love you more, Cade." Cora says and gives me a hug.

I go down the line giving my family a hug but I stop at my parents.

"Thanks for giving me this opportunity guys."

Tears fall down my parents cheeks as I hug them as tight as ever. I remember when I was going to my first sleepover and it was hard to say goodbye. Imagine how im feeling now.

"Be safe cade. No sex." My dad says

"Dad...."

"We love you sweetie. Hurry up or you'll miss your flight." My mom says.

I pull away and turn around, facing the gate.

I slowly walk away. I can hear my moms sobs behind me.

I guess this is what a real goodbye feels like.
