Try to Make the Most of It

“How could I do this to you?! I have no choice in this! My dad’s job is moving somewhere else. Believe me, if I could stay here I would.” Tears start to fill my eyes as he finishes. What would I do without him?

“We could run away together.” I say suddenly. What? Why did I say that? He looks at me with a concentrated face and shakes his head.
“You and I both know that there is no life for us out there if we run away.” He is right. No one wants to accept a runaway girl into college.
“Maybe your right,” I say. He takes his thumb and wipes away my tears that are now streaming down my face.
“We should just try to make the most of it.” He sighs and kisses me lightly.
“Ya,” I mumble.

Later at night I lay in bed, not able to sleep. A life without Seth, I don’t know if I could do. I text him,

U asleep?
Nope
I dnt knw wht I would do without u.
