I am going home.

I remember when my mother used to chide me for making split-second decisions. Now I’ve decided to leave Kill Devil Hills and head back to South Florida. I think I decided it right there in that ACA meeting.

I won’t make my Friday night meeting; I’ll be too busy getting ready to go.

I call Jenny as I pace the length of my tiny living room. She answers on the fourth ring.

“Hey, Nina, what’s up?”

“You still have a spare bedroom in your apartment?” I ask, forgoing the pleasantries.

“Yes…”

“Can I move in?”

“What?” She laughs loudly. “Really? I thought sure you’d stay at least another few months.”

“What do you mean? You mean…” I stop walking and stare out the window. “You knew I’d go back?”

“Sure I did. When you first left, you were so indecisive about the whole thing. You wanted to go, but you’d just met Wes. Remember what I said?”

“Yeah. You told me to follow my heart, something like that.”

“But we both agreed you should be careful since you didn’t know him that well,” she reminds me.

“Well, this has nothing to do with him.”

“The hell it doesn’t.”

“Jenny!”

“You can’t tell me that, I know it’s bullshit.”

“Honestly, I feel like…like I was running. Mentally, not physically. Like I was running from Mom, and from my life, from everything. Even Wes.”

“I know.” The words are heavy; Jenny knows about my fears, my terror of commitment.

Whenever I think of dating anyone else, all I can do is picture them with a bottle in their hand, the cycle starting all over again. A long silence stretches out between us.

“I’m so…so tired of being disappointed, Jenny.”

“I know you are, hon. You know what I think?”

“What?”

“Maybe you need to come back home to resolve these issues. Put the past behind you for good. Come full circle.”

“I think you’re right.”

After a long talk with Jenny, I call my landlord and we discuss the lease. I’m not a very good liar, but somehow he falls for the story I concocted about my mother’s illness, and how I must return to Florida immediately to care for her. He breaks the lease, and I start packing my meager belongings.

Some of my stuff is still back at my mother’s apartment; I didn’t take much to North Carolina, so I know I can pack the rest in my car. My savings will get me home, and I’ll worry about the rest later.

Less than four days.

I’m going home.
