Narrative:

I was shooting an ILS into burbank, ca, on runway 8. A commuter plane was holding in position on runway 15. Tower thought the ILS was going fine and thus released the commuter for takeoff. I was cleared to land and hold short of runway 15. After I noticed that I couldn't comply with what I was told I opted for a go around. While I was climbing out I noticed the commuter rotating for takeoff, and I thought that if I continued straight I would fly into his flight path. I notified tower of the go around and told them that I would turn right to avoid the traffic. Tower then notified me to go straight. I then complied with their instruction to land on runway 15. I was then told to call tower as soon as possible due to possible deviation.
