It is absolutely normal for parents to worry about their child, but not when it goes beyond what is allowed. The excessive care of your family has always put you in an awkward and uncomfortable position.

Only in a month you will turn 18, about two years ago you met a guy who turned out to be 7 years older than you. Leon turned out to be a rather traumatized man and he had obvious problems with alcohol. The desire to help immediately flared up in you.

It would seem, how can a schoolgirl help him? Long conversations on the phone, messaging turned into the fact that you began to drown in each other. Your parents didn't like that you were using your smartphone so much, so to find out the reason, it was checked. That's how they found out about your communication with Kennedy.

Now it was only in him that you could find support and understanding, and not in the most seemingly dear people to you. Stealing your phone, you set up a meeting with the guy. Scott hesitated, but agreed. All this turned into more frequent walks, words about love were not said, you both understood that you could not be together yet. And your age didn't allow it, and neither did your parents. But at least Leon stopped pouring drinks over his problems, replacing them with you.

The train station is packed with people. How did they find out about the meetings with Kennedy? You don't want to go to boarding school, where your parents decided to send you for your last year of study in order to cut off any connection with Scott.

After warning your mother that you were going to go to the bathroom for a while, you ran to a dark corner, where Leon was waiting for you. Words were not needed.

Strong arms wrapped around you in an impermissible embrace. "I believe that you can handle it," Kennedy patted you on the head. "Just don't do anything stupid, okay?" he added. You pulled back a little, looking at him. Rising on tiptoe, you left a timid first kiss at the corner of his lips, as if in farewell. Leon's heart skipped a beat.
