"Can you tell I love them all?" I ask. He pats my back "Will do now go change I don't think it's dress season in New York just yet". He is right I should go change. I nod my head "You're right see you in a few" I say as I run upstairs. Since I'm going to be in a plane for about 20 hours I decided to wear a long sleeve shirt and a pair of sweats. I put my hair up in a ponytail and don't even bother with makeup. I grab my bag and take a last look around the room even tho I was here for a few months this never felt like my room.
I never felt like I belong here. I'm glad to be leaving this place and every bad memory I had behind me."Are you ready Bug?" Brains yells from downstairs. "Coming" I turn off the lights and close the door behind me never looking back. To think that this is my last time in this house is mind blowing. "I'll take that" Brains reaches for my bags as I follow him towards the car. The only thing keeping me together is knowing that I will be in Gabe's arm in just a few minutes. I take out my phone and send him a message letting him know I'm on my way.
I stare out the window and get lost in my thoughts. What was my father trying to tell me with out telling me? Why does he always have to be a mystery? Why can't he just come out and say what it's on his mind? I feel my phone vibrate and I quickly open the message
Gabe: Finally I've been waiting for you for ever.
As I read the message I can't help but to smile. He has been waiting for me all along. He never once pressure me into making the decision of leaving with him. He always gave me space to make my own decision. I have no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision for me. Even tho Gabe had a lot to do with my decision in leaving it's not all because of him. I want to be in control of my life and this is the only way I can do it. "We're here" Brain parks the car in front of the airport. I didn't even realized we were driving. I send Gabe a text to let him know I'm here.
"Here you go bug" Brains hands me my bag as I hop off the car. "Wait you're not coming in with me?" I ask confuse, I thought he was going to come inside with me. "I'm going inside but we're going our separate ways" he says. Now that makes more sense. I don't want him to see Gabe and I'm sure he doesn't want to be seen either. "Okay well thanks for everything," I hug him goodbye. At least I get to say bye to him. I feel my eyes burning again but I refuse to cry I need to be strong. "You're welcome bug now go inside" he shoves me away. I give him a smile and walk away as soon as I walk inside the airport I see Gabe walking towards me. He is wearing a white t-shirt with dark jeans and his leather jacket that drives me crazy. My heart starts to raise and the butterflies start back up in my stomach. I have to fight myself not to run into his arms.
