Their Bright Future (Her Dark Shadow #2)

Present

My best friend's brother is my second cousin's father.
Cool.

Ezrynn and I've been homeschooled for years now, my mom being the teacher with her degree and all.
Megan came back from college with a story to tell, she received her degree in creative writing.
Corbin also went to college, he has now been an elementary school teacher for two years.
Everything has been perfect sense Ezrynn came back from the hospital that last time, neither of us has been back ever since.
She is taking mastery classes this year, still in college. She'll be there until she's about twenty six. She says she wants to be a Mental Health Therapist. Ironic, huh?
I don't know what I want to be. An illustrator, maybe? I've been in college three years now, as has Ezrynn. We're both twenty one.

Megan and Corbin have been trying to get pregnant for years, and now, finally, they are.
They've considered adoption many times, but Corbin has been insistent on having at least one of their own, particularly the first.
So there they have it.
Megan is twenty seven, Corbin twenty six.

The bash with Mrs. Lea being a surprise ended quickly, and now we'd be lost without her. Let's just say she's the best, even Corbin will admit it after eight years of the change.

Social life? Well, I've got Ezrynn and the twins at our College, not University. Veronica is also majoring in creative writing, just like Megan. Zola, however, wants to be more in on the action. She's hoping to become a Marine Biologist. They're both twenty one also.

We attend school not too far from home, so parties are often. My aunt and uncle Blake are very close friends with the Leas, which makes Megan and Corbin happy.

Mom married a guy named Jackson, he's actually pretty cool. He's the lead guitar and singer in this super awesome band.
Mom herself is now a professor at her own university.
They've got bills for the income, indeed.

Veronica has a boyfriend named Brock, he's a bibliophile just like her.
Zola's boyfriend is Logan, he is a broadway actor.
Ezrynn's boyfriend is named Hayden, he's this author dude she fancies. Quite a lot. He's written four books, all of which suck if your were to ask me. But she doesn't.
My girlfriend is nonexistent.
Whoopee!

But, really, life is good. I'm still sad about Dad, but not enough to have the mental breakdowns I once had.
Ezrynn hardly ever tears up anymore, she's vibrant as can be.

So all is good.
