Life and Death [Girl Meets World]

Chapter 8

Rowan's P.O.V

It took me a second to weigh my options. I didn't want to break Jacobs heart by saying no, and Peyton and Jacob would never meet in real life...

Rowan- Yes. I would love to.

Jacob- Great! I have to go eat dinner now. I'll call you tomorrow princess.

Rowan- Okay! Bye boyfriend!

With that Jacob hangs up.

What on earth have I done?!? I already have a boyfriend and I'm deeply in love with him! Shouldn't I be happy with just one boyfriend?

Life is so freaking difficult.

I guess I have to break up with one of them. But who?

I need advice. There's only one person I can truly trust in this world and that's Sabrina. I decide to send her a text.

Rowan- Sab? Can you come to my apartment asap?

She replies in under a minute.

Sabrina- Yeah. Be there in 15 min.

Oh right! My dad wanted me to call him! I'll talk to him until Sabrina gets here.

I dial his number and the phone rings. My dad picks up on the third ring.

Dad- Happy birthday Rowan!

Rowan- Thanks daddy!

Dad- How does it feel to be 19?

Rowan- Pretty good! Today was better than most days but at the same time it feels like it's going to effect my life a lot.

Dad- For good or for bad?

Rowan- I guess I'll find out.

Dad- So... Rowan... You know I love you, right?

Rowan- Yeah... What's wrong Dad?

My dad never sounds this sad.

Dad- Well, since you've moved away, your mother and haven't been getting along well lately. She's moved over an hour away with your sister and I haven't been in contact with them since last week.

So that's why I haven't heard from Gabrielle.

Dad- Anyway, last week, your mother and I decided it would be best if we got divorced.

Rowan- What? But... But...

I was honestly speechless.

Dad- I know your shocked and I hate to be the one to tell you, especially on your birthday. I figured you would've rather known sooner than later.

I was crying a lot right now, but I still tried to speak without my voice cracking.

Rowan- W-well I guess I-it's for the b-better.

Dad- Trust me Rowan, it is.

Rowan- Listen d-dad. Sab's coming over shortly so I have to g-go.

Dad- Okay. Bye Rowan. I love you.

Rowan- I love you too.

This time I hang up first.

How did today go from the best day to absolute worst?
