“Wait….wait….wait, you’re going to stay here? In Mass?” my mom questions and Emery nods. 

“And get an apartment a mile away?” my dad adds. Emery nods. “get a job and no college?” 

Emery nods. “I already have this all planned out. First I’ll get a job and make some money then rent out the apartment, get a job, and then I’ll be graduating in a couple weeks. I just don’t want to be staying here and have you guys pay for food on my plate,” Emery explains. 

“Well.. Emery you can stay here as long as you want, we don’t care. You’re family,” my mom states. 

“Thanks, Mrs. E, really, but since you know Cedes and I are together I don’t really think I should be living with my girlfriend and stuff, you know? Plus, I really don’t want you guys paying for stuff,” Emery explains. 

My dad clears his throat. “How about this, son, we pay for your first month of rent while you continue to look for a job. You can take everything in the guest room to your new place. TV, bed, dressers, and everything in between. It’s the least we can do but since you are our care, we do want you to visit and we will visit once in a while. Now, when do you plan on moving?” 

“Well I was going to rent out the apartment when I got the money but since you insist.. Um but I don’t know maybe in a week or so? Plus, I do have money in my savings for a car so that isn’t anything to worry about..”

I crease my eyebrows, a week? Emery will be moving out in a week? It seems like he just moved in and now he’s moving back out again. I know, I know this time he’s still here and just a mile away but still it felt weird. I just got use to Emery being here and how I could just walk right into his room when I had a problem or when I just wanted to cuddle and watch a movie with him but now I can’t do that. It was strange to have my boyfriend move out and get his own apartment where I know he isn’t safe, like what if something happens to him while he’s sleeping? We won’t be there to help right away… It was heartbreaking in some silly hormonal teenager way. 

“Alright kids, lets head up to bed and we’ll go car searching after school tomorrow, yeah?” my dad exclaims as he and my mom stand up from the kitchen chairs. I stand up after Emery stands up. 

“Night mom, night dad. Love you.” I smile at my parents. 

“Night Steve and Mrs. E,” Emery says and then we head up to my room for the night. 

I walk into my closet and pick out some pajamas for the night, after putting them on, I head to my bathroom where I brush my teeth, wash my face, and quickly put my hair up in a messy bun. After, doing my nightly routine I slide into my bed where Emery had been laying. We both just lay in the dark, starring at my ceiling. “so you’re really leaving in a week?” 

“You can always visit me, my door will always be open,” Emery ensures. 

I sigh. “I know, I know its just….weird. You know? We were all just getting used to you being around all the time and whatnot but now you’re going to have your own apartment…” I sigh. 

Emery pushes me to his chest and plays with my fingers that are not in my cast. “Who says I wont still be here? I’m.. I’m just getting an apartment to start a new life with you and balance my responsibilities. Listen, there won’t be a time where I won’t be able to come here or you come there if you need someone to talk to or just be with each other.”
