YOUR P.O.V.

As I enter the police station with Alejandro and Kairi I can't stop tearing up. Shivers travel down my spine at a fast rate as I make my way to the front desk clutching onto my phone as my eyes linger around the room. I feel bad for whoever has to stay here

"Who're you looking for?" an officer in uniform asks me.

I turn to him and hesitate before responding with "uhm- Mattia polibio" I wipe my eyes

He gestures for us to follow him and he brings us down to a narrow hall with empty cells on each side of me. Towards the end he stands in front of one and my heart beats faster before I move closer to it and see him sitting on a bench.

When we lock eyes he stands immediately and takes my hand through the space between metal bars.

"I'll be back" the man says before walking away. When he's gone I turn to Mattia

"Mattia how're we getting you out of here" I say as I massage his thumb with my fingers. He's freezing.

He shakes his head. "Wes's family's filing for a restraining order which means I'm gonna have to leave"

I smile. "So that means you can come back to my place but can't go near him? And he can't come near us? T-that's great" I say feeling my eyes light up

"No" he begins. I feel a frown wash over my face. "It means I'm gonna have to go back to Jersey"

I grip tighter onto him. "W-what" my eyes tear up and I bite my lip. "Baby you can't leave me"

"I can't stay here,Dawn. If I leave back to Jersey then I can leave this place without charges"

"But then what about me" I whimper. "I'll pay for your charges. I'll find a way just don't leave me"

"But I'm not leaving you" he smiles

"What do you mean" I say as I plead with our interlocked eyes.

"I want you to go back with me"

I let go of his hand slowly and turn around to look at the boys who're leaning on the wall. They give a small smile

I look back at Mattia who tries taking my hand again. "Please"

"I can't go with you— you know that"

"You can. We can graduate together and start a life with each other" he says

I wipe my eyes

"Baby I wanna start a life with you" he says as he takes my other hand

"My mom wouldn't let me do that"

"We can try to convince her. I'll try my best. I'm not leaving without you"

I look down but he lifts my chin. "Don't do this to me. I did all this for you. Because I love you"

"And if we convince my mom where would I stay"

"With me silly. My parents love you" he smirks

I try to smile but I'm filled with overwhelming emotions. What if my mom says no.

Then he'd leave without me. And then what

"I really hope you're right" I say softly

He pulls me close to him and kisses me. "We're gonna make it work"

-

On the way home, after agreeing with the officers that Mattia would be leaving back to Jersey, they gave us a maximum of a week to have him gone before they would go to my house to check that he left

And by the time we make it to my doorstep the feeling of nausea comes back again. My mom's probably home and has no idea what went on. I want to keep it that way

I unlock the door with my unsteady hands and we walk inside. I call out for my mom who answers "I'm in the kitchen"

We all walk over to her with Mattia standing directly behind me and she looks up at us and smiles. "What?"

"Ms. Castrin can we talk please"

Her face goes blank and she puts her cup of coffee down on the countertop. "Is it important?"

"Yeah" Alejandro says.

She clears her throat and gestures for us to follow her into the living room.

We all sit down on the couch with Mattia holding onto my waist. She doesn't seem fazed by it anymore

"Okay" she says as she lets out a sigh while sitting down. "what's up"

"I'm leaving back to Jersey" Mattia says.

"Why can't you stay here longer?" She asks as she looks at me with a frown on her face. She knows how much his company means to me.

"I- I've got a lot of work to do for school"

She nods

"But-" he begins. "It would be great if Dawn could go back with me"

She grits her teeth together and shakes her head. "Mattia-"

"Please Ms.Castrin I'll do anything. I've came here to see her so many times and it's senior year— and I want her to graduate with me"

"But she's already enrolled here"

"She's technically still enrolled in Passaic Valley though"

She goes quiet.

"Please ma"

She looks over at me with a saddened expression. "You really wanna go?"

"Of course I wanna go,ma. I wanna graduate there and who knows what else I'll be able to do from there"

"Where would you stay"

"With Mattia's family" I say.

"I- I don't-"

"Please" I say with tears practically filling my eyes

"I-" she sighs. And then she nods slowly. "If that's what you want t-then okay"

I laugh from joy and immediately bring Mattia into a hug. And I hold on tighter than ever. "Baby you were right"
