7 months ago…

He’s not happy that I’m going away, but he knows he can’t stop me and doesn’t try. He does step up his guilt-trips and manipulation, but they don’t work anymore. What’s scary is the less they work, the more desperate he becomes. I walk a fine line between not leading him on and not getting myself hurt...or worse…

The day arrives. It’s time to go. The combination of excitement and nervousness almost breaks me. I begin with a drive to the train station and park my car discreetly in long-term parking. I grab my stuff and buy my train ticket. It’s a cold rainy day, but I don’t feel it. Even the ice-covered river is beautiful.

I can tell my favorite adult is nervous about all this travelling I’m doing solo. He stays in constant contact. I send him a pic of the rainy river. He likes it as much as I do.

Once the train arrives I navigate through the busy rainy city and find my ride. I reserved a shuttle to take me to the airport. At least my flight is direct.

Airport security hates me. I flat out tell them my last flight was pre-9/11 and I have no knowledge of liquid measure restrictions. I check my bag regardless—so much for only packing a carry-on.

I have my computer so I work during the flight. I snap a picture of the clouds from above, because the sky is kind of our thing.

The plane lurches to the ground a few hours later and reality sets in. My nerves are a cluster-fuck. What if my favorite adult thinks the same way about me that he does? What if I really am all those horrible things? Only my curiosity overwhelms everything else.

I grab my bag off the carousel and walk out the airport doors. It only takes a second to spot him. My favorite adult. He’s taller than I’d thought, but then I’m kind of littleish myself.

“Hi,” I feel my cheeks heat despite my grin.

“Hey!” He smiles.

I give him a hug and he takes my bag. It’s entirely surreal to be here with him.

Surreal—and fucking amazeballs.
