My phone buzzes and I dig it out of my pocket; it is from my bestfriend Dom
"Hey, dude party at my house 9 to whenever, bring someone don't be a loser"
"Alright"
I stuff my phone back in my pocket and eat the rest of my cereal.

It has been a week since I last kissed Becca and we have barely made eye contact; I don't like it but she wants to do what her dad says.
Becca sits in front of me and I immediately leave the table. I talk to Becca's dad about some of the rules and he actually trusts me now and lowered all the rules.
I go to Becca's room but she is not in here yet. I lay on her bed throwing a ball to her ceiling; She finally comes in and I tell her the news. She slowly sits on the bed and tears start to swell up in her eyes.
"What's wrong?!"
She put on a forced smile
"Nothing, I'm fine"
I put my arm around her and she puts her face in my chest.
"I-I-I love you"
Is that what she is crying about, Is it a happy cry?
"Is that why your crying?"
"No, of course not....My daddy wants you to....to leave"
"What?!"
"He bought you a house in INDIANA and-"
I ran out of her room and down the stairs, out the front door. Into the freezing cold, It is freezing out but I don't wanna think about anything but the problem I have on hand.
I run until I can't run anymore, until i'm to tired to think about anything. I fall to my knees and let the tears fall out of my eyes.
I cry for my parents, I am crying for Becca's heart and mine, I am crying because I am moving away...I need to move away..
I wipe my tears off and I start walking back to the house.
