POV: Haven
I watch as Dad places the last box onto the backseat of my car. This is it, I fly the nest now. "Ready to go, Little Goose?" Nathan asks. It's been a while since I've been to Raphael's house. I don't even remember how to get there, so I will be following Nate there.
"No, not yet. You can't leave without saying goodbye. Come here, sweetheart." Mom begins crying. She's been crying all day. She pulls me into a hug. Damn it. I can feel her heartache. My heart hurts now. "Oh, my last little bird is flying away."
"Mom, I'm coming back. It's not like I am moving to a completely different country." I pull away from her. She was so adamant about sending me away today, and now she doesn't want me to go. I'm leaving because of her.
Mom pulls me back into a hug, causing me to cringe.
