School went...okay.. im still not sure how football tryouts went. Roc hasnt texted or called ever since school let out.(your text tone)oh...never mind? I grab my phone and read the text out loud
Roc:We need to talk..
What? I press the call button and place the phone to my ear waiting on him to pick up. He answers on the second ring.
"Open your door"he says before anything else. I quickly get off the couch and open the front door to see roc just standing there with an odd expression on his face.
"Whats wrong?"i ask"did something happen at football tryouts?"
"Well..."he sighed"SOMETHING did happen...this...it's kinda big news...or nad news however you want to take it, im not sure how im taking it myself...well..football went horrible..i didnt do very well but i..."he paused and sighed."can i come in?"
"Oh! Of course"I stepped aside and let him come in.
"Well after that fail my mom said she had a surprise for me right?" I nodded to shoe that i was listening "and..so she took me to this place and had me change in the back seat. And it was an audition...for some kind of music group. And...i got in.." my jaw fell open
"How is that bad news?! Thats amazing!!" He shook his head and led me to the couch where we sat together and held hands.
"Babe....yn..you arent getting it. I have to leave." I frowned
"You just got here?"
"No not HERE here, i have to leave...the state...im going to this place where they will teach us how to sing and dance and crap. Me and three other guys..i havent met them yet tho.."
"W..what? But you just moved out here? Y-your leaving? What about me? What about us? We JUST got in a relationship "i felt tears threaten to spill, i let them.
"Baby dont cry" he embraced me."for all we know this might not even last...i mean, have you seen my dancing?" He chuckled, but stopped when i began sobbing into his chest"commone Yn..please stop crying?"
"I dont want you to go"
"And i dont want to go...but my mom thinks this will be a good thing for me or something....i promise to stay in touch."
"Come on roc, you and i both know long distance relationships suck." I wiped my face on his shirt leaving make up smudges. He didnt seem to care.
"We can make it work Yn." He smiles sincerely and..his smile made me believe him.
"Fine...we can try it"he kisses my cheek.
"Awesome..i leave next month...we have an entire month together...does that help?" I smile weakly.
"thats better than expected...at least you arent leaving today i guess"

I sat on the porch with my best friend talking about roc leaving.
"Dang...that sucks for real tho. Y'all just started dating and everything..you cried didn't you?" I nodded.
"Of course...we are planning on going to the mall later today." I smile and sniffle a bit.
"Aye look who's running up"i look up to see craig running over at full speed.
"Yall guess what!"
"Great more surprises." I giggle "whats up"
"Im gunna be in a music group with three other guys...i got this call from a woman named keisha..she saw my videos on youtube and wants me to join this new boy band she putting together!" My smile went away.
"You too?!"
"What do you mean?"
"Roc...he's...he's-" lena cut me off
"Roc is leaving to be in a boy band too...,yall dont think its the same group do you?"
"I dont know...bit we will find out in a month or so cuz thats when we leaving."he shrugged and sat next to me."you okay yn? How did you take the news?"
"Im fine, i admit i cried.when i found out but...i will be okay.

Roc and i spent the entire month wrapped in eachothers arms. We spent like...all day every day together. It was amazing, but i regret it because it made our goodbyes hurt a lot more.
Roc and i stood outside the airport hugging and kissing until it was time for him to leave.
"I promise to text and call you"
"You better" i smile play with the ends of his shirt."roc?"
"Yes?" He played with the ends of my hair, reminding me i need to cut off those split ends later
"Im really....really gunna miss you." His eyes softened.
"Ima miss you to Yn..dont worry i WILL be back" They announced his flight again."i have to go babe."
"Bye" i mumble as he walks away
"Bye!"....and that was that
