Every lie we told was bound to come back around someday, right?” Just then, a massive neon sign flashed on the side of the street: “YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, BABY! FIND YOUR SOULMATE!”

My mom said before waving at me. "It's my time to leave now. You don't belong here, baby. This isn’t your world. You have a lot of time and happiness. Enjoy your life to its fullest.
