Settling into the bed, Curtis grimaced as his toes touched the sheets, feeling slight pain, but not mentioning it so he didn't make Meg do anything. Feeling Meg's arms wrap around him, he smiled, closing his eyes as her lips touched his cheek. "Good night." He replied, wondering how he'd get used to this. 'Don't get used to this. The moment you do, you'll show the disappointment when you eventually need to leave for your own room.' Curtis thought to himself.

The next month was amazing for Curtis. He grew more knowledgeable about the equipment he was using, and grew closer still with Meg and Ashley, among other RT staff. His toes eventually healed, which he was grateful for, as he hated seeing the guilty looks on Meg and Ashley's faces. He also finally managed to move back to his own bedroom to sleep, a move that Curtis regretted every night. But he knew that if Meg was the one that broke it off, the surprise would be impossible to hide, or she would put it off more and more, not wanting to make him uncomfortable. While he did regret the move, he wanted the best for Meg

Returning home from work one day, Curtis grabbed the mail while Meg headed inside. Oddly, one was addressed to him for once. Frowning, he entered the house, handing the other envelopes to Meg as he opened his own.
To Mr. Curtis Smith,
The work VISA that has been requested, allowing you twelve month residency, has been denied. These VISA cards are handed to potential of-age American employees so they may stay in the country, with checkups happening annually.
Unfortunately, it has been discovered that you are sixteen, thus, your work VISA is denied. Deportation agents shall collect you from this address in fourteen days time. Do not hide, as it is a federal offence. Your employer has been notified, and you will be unable to work until you return to your home country of Australia.
After the letter, followed the writer's name, station in the government, and so on.
As Curtis read the letter, his hands shook more and more, nervous and scared at what this meant. Throwing the letter on the table, Curtis retreated to his bedroom, taking deep breaths as he tried not to panic.
