One Last Kiss

I Hold On

I've been taking online classes for the past couple months.

I don't know if I want to go back to school. I mean it is senior year but only 3 more months anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Carter has been doing all the senior things.

Like senior pranks, ditch day, assemblies all that stuff.

I guess Shayne has left him alone and started dating Easton Jameson like the richest guy at our school.

No surprise there.

I haven't heard from either of my parents in like 2 weeks which is nice.

I don't know I'm not like sad anymore I just am relaxing and trying to enjoy online schooling for now.

I've seen Heather and Ethan a couple times, they've come over and just hung out. That was nice and I enjoyed there company.

Carter still goes to school everyday and gets home at 2:00 because he has 8th off and so than we just hang out and talk about our day.

I've been living with Carter for about 5 months now and so it's been good I mean we get into little arguments here and there, but that's normal.

I don't miss home because 'home' wasn't actually home.

Carter is my home.

"Hey babe I'm home." Carter says walking through the door.

"Hey how was your day?" I ask as he comes over and kisses me.

"Good glad it's Friday. how was your day?"

"Yeah me too and good I talked to Dean at University of Michigan and he totally understands my arrangement and says it won't affect my acceptance into there school because I'm online schooling now."

"That's great baby."

"Thank you."

"Heather and Ethan might come over tonight and eat dinner with us."

"Okay sounds good."

"I'm going to go take a shower."

"Okay."

I sit down and turn on Revenge, I'm pretty much obsessed okay.

It's about 5:45 now and I hear the doorbell ring.

I unattached myself from Carter's grasp and pause Revenge, were on season 2 episode 13 and it's amazing.

I look through the peep hole and see Heather and Ethan.

I open the door.

"Hey!" I say.

"How are you Anchor?! I've missed you!"

"Oh I've missed you too!"

"Hey Anch." Ethan says giving me a hug.

"Hey Ethan. I've missed you too."

"Yeah yeah" he says with a smirk.

"So how are you Anchor?" Heather asks me walking to the couch.

I sit down next to her.

"I've been better. Carter says I don't scratch as much as I used to and his back isn't as red in the morning. Online school is going good and yeah."

"I'm glad you're okay Anch. Carter told me what happened and I just wanted to give you a huge hug and just be there for you."

"It's okay Heaths I'm okay really."

"Okay good. I've missed you."

"Me too girl."

A lot has happened.

Heather knows what I'm going through because she was abused by her dad for a long time and eventually she told Ethan and he kicked her dad's ass like there is no tomorrow. She's been living with Ethan in a small apartment since we were sophomores in high school.

It was bad and I never thought anyone knew what I was going through, but Heather does. And that's something that we became a lot closer on.

It's a serious issue that we've both gone through but Ethan helped Heather get through this and Carter is helping me get through this.

We're all going to be okay.
