I've been home for about two days now and Kio still haven't responded to my texts to him. I've thought about giving up and just watch how/what will happen but I can't. He's been a big part of my life in just about 2 months, even I can't believe how reliant I was with him and how much I like him that I literally cannot breathe without him next to me.

Tonight was the night, the dreaded night that I have to decide what I'm gonna do for my future whether it will be college or something else. And I have thought it through and I wanna move to LA, but I'm not quite sure if my mom will support that idea.

I slowly walk down the stairs, trying to take my time as slow as possible.

"Need help?" I ask my mother from the doorway to the kitchen, she was pulling out the lasagna from the oven.

"Sure, can you please set the table?"

I went through the cabinets getting the plates and utensils, then quickly set it up at our small little dinning table.

"Are you sure?" Was the only thing Mom managed to say after I told her my decision.

I nodded slowly. She sighed, "You know, I don't wanna be that parent that won't let their children make their own decisions. And, well, as much as I would hate your decision but if that's what you want then, I'll let you."

A smile slowly creeps into my face, "Yes! Thank you! Thank you Mom!" I stood up and hugged her.
