 Well, you just need to tell the truth: that you'd rather stay where you are, but you need to go back to the Isle of Man. This isn't your decision, but something you must do.
I've never crossed the pond, so I don't know if it would be hard to travel from the Isle of Man to where you are now. It wouldn't be like living, yes, but you wouldn't need to lose contact with your friends. And, these days, the internet offers so many ways to keep in touch.
Finally, is it impossible for you to stay?
Some insight into life: As you live, you will find that these kind of separations are inevitable. Change is inevitable; you cannot expect life to be the same all the time. Have you thought how boring that would be? So, learn to enjoy things while they last, and to be happy they happened at all, instead of regretting what you had and you lost.
