Alice:Ā Okay, Kim. There they are just like I said they would be. Nowās the time to talkā¦your dad will be here any minute.
Kimberly: Iā¦I⦠*panics* I canāt do it. I-itās too hard. I canāt say goodbye.
Alice: *calmly* Kim, you have to tell him. Youāve stalled long enough! Too long to be honest. You should have told him the moment you found out your dad was sending you away.
Kimberly: I know! I knowā¦
Mark: Woah, guys⦠Alice and, oh shit! Austen! Kimās here! If her dad seesā¦
Austen: *looks over* Shit. OK. Hang on guys. Iāll be right back.
Austen: Hey, babe. What are you doing here? If your dad catches y- *gasps* woah! Now this is the kind of hello I can get used to. Missed me that much, huh?
Kimberly: Austen, babe, I donāt have a lot of time. Look I-I just came by to say goodbye. My dad-
Austen: Woah, woah. Wait. I think I need to get my hearing checked because it sounded like you were saying goodbye.
Kimberly: I-I am. My dad is on his way to pick me up now. Heās sending me to live with my cousin.
Austen: Excuse me? Youāve got to be joking. Please tell me youāre joking.
Kimberly: *shakes head* Iām sorry. I wanted to tell you when he mentioned it but I just couldnāt. I-Iām sorry!
Austen: When?! When were you going to tell me? When you made it to wherever you were going? Fuck, Kimberly!
Kimberly: I didnāt think he was actually serious! Heās always saying heās going to do this and that but theyāre always just empty threats. I was just hoping this was going to blow over.
Austen: Fuck. *exhales* Well, do you at least know where youāre going?
Kimberly: Wait, just listen. My cousin, McKenzie. Sheās not like the rest of my dadās family. I managed to talk my dad into letting me stay with her and because sheās so far away he went with it. She has an art studio that sheās already mentioned about me getting a job and is definitely okay with you coming to visit if you ever get the chance to. Iām going to save up money to move here on my own without my father. We willĀ see each other again. I promise.
Austen:Ā Youāre damn right we will! Whatās her ad-
*yelling* Sergeant Newman: Kimberly?! Letās go. NOW!
Austen: *mumbles* Fuck off. Let me know the moment you get in. Iāll text you as soon as I get off.
Kimberly: I gotta go. *whispers* Alice has all the information. I gave it to her once I knew where I was going. I already miss you so much.
*yelling* Sergeant Newman: Kimberly! Donāt make me tell you again!
Kimberly @ her dad: Iām coming! Let me at least say goodbye!
Kimberly:Ā Goodbye, Austen. Iāll see you soon?
Austen: This isnāt goodbye, Kimmy. I will be seeing you. And soon. Sooner than you might think.
