Leaving California

Isabella, You are still not ready. My mom shouted from the kitchen. Just a minute mom, I am coming down. I put my hair claws quickly as I had no time to do anything with my hair at this point. I was too late and I have to be airport in an hour. Yes airport cause I was moving to New York from California for studies. I always wanted to major in art and music and I finally got enrolled in my dream college NYU. The day I find out I was accepted , I was hysterically crying while my parents thought I got knocked out. Like seriously, How can they even think about a 17 years old getting pregnant this early especially me their daughter who have no interest in any boys of my age.

Anyway, so to fast forward after all the excitement that boiled down I was left with this realisation that I am moving out from my parents and going to New York on my own. My parents were not really happy about me being alone in such a big city.

So, my mom did what she does best. Call her younger brother Damian Fischer. Who is living in New York and own a biggest real state business there? He isn't the friendliest person among all of my relatives but he always hold a soft corner for me since I was a kid. He was very okay that I was coming to New York and he told my mom and his sister that I can live with him until I finish my studies which I did not expected as he even avoids family gatherings and he is very anti-social too. His approval of me made it easier for my parents as they trusted him the most and all of their stress just melted away.

Present time- My luggages were already down in the car with my dad and all of my necessary things and my passport were with me in my bag. I checked for one last time if I forgot something but I can't really pinpoint anything with this hecticness so I just ran downstairs towards my mom.

You seriously drive me crazy, my mom sighs with exasperated sound. I just giggle at her dramatic expression and hug her saying I love you and I swear you will be the first one missing me at this house running around. I try to lighten the mood little bit so she won't feel sad. She just smiled at me little bit and ask me to be careful and not to be worried about anything as my uncle will take care of everything I need.

My dad start honking his car indicating we are getting late. So, I hug my mom one last time and said I love you and ran out looking at my dad who was getting impatient. I get in the car and say sorry to him while he start driving. We somehow managed to reach airport half an hour before thanks to my dad who broke couple of traffic rules just for me. he took all of my luggages out and drop me near to the entrance as from there I have to go alone. So, I hugged him tightly while feeling like crying. I will miss your drama so much sweetheart, he said while patting my head.

I wanted to cry but with his words I only chuckled and laugh a little saying I bet you will be very bored without me at home and God bless you with mom and her nagging, I replied while coming out of his embrace while he give a very hearty laugh.

The announcement started while my dad for the last time told me to stay away from boys. I give a dumbfounded expression towards him while he was very serious about it. So I gave a quick peck to him in his cheeks and start running towards entrance. I finally finished all the security checkings and got in my seat with the flights start taking off my mind finally start sinking that I am leaving my hometown where I lived my 17 years. And from here a new life away from home will start. I was excited, nervous but most importantly anticipating my deepest secret "How will I live with my Uncle to whom I have the biggest and filthiest crush? "
