Following The Stars (UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION!)

Chapter Thirty Two

When we arrive back in to Texas I'm happy but also upset. I left so many memories in Colorado. But there are memories in Texas. Good and bad.

By the name of Cole Whitwhorth.

When we arrive back on to Pine Oak Street, I see my old house.

It brings me back to the school year in Texas. How I had so many friends, with one boy I loved so much.

When I step in to my old room, I feel home once again.

I start to open boxes and place paintings, posters and picture along my walls. I put chairs, tables and draws in the corners of my room.

I'm half way through unpacking when the doorbell rings. Just like déjà vu when I was back in Colorado.

"I got it mom!" I yell.

I hear a faint 'okay honey' from downstairs.

I scramble down the stairs to see who has rung my doorbell.

When I stand in front of my door I flatten my jeans and shirt and pull my hair back up in to a messy bun.

I then pull open the door and I'm surprised at who is at my door.

"C-cole?" I whisper.

"Hey Mia." He smiles.

"What are you doing here?" I say. I'm astounded, why is he here?

"Well I kind of heard that your moving back..." He trails off.

"And so yeah keep going." I motion him with my hand.

"Well.. Um.. I was hoping you would go on a date with me. Like back when you were here, remember." He says.

I stay quiet. I miss Tomas dearly. It physically hurts me.

"Mia? Are you okay?" He says.

"I'm fine Cole. Now about that date. I don't know if I can go on a date with you..." I say trailing off.

"Please Mia. I love you." He says with no hesitation.

Gulp.

"Um... I don't know.." I say.

"Please I'm begging you." He has urgency in his voice.

"Fine. Okay, I kind of missed you." I lie to him.

"I missed you too." He says while giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Seven o'clock on the dot tomorrow evening." He says while heading towards his car.

"Sounds good." Lies.

I watch Cole drive off, and I stand there at my doorstep.

What about Tomas? What would he say about this? Oh well. I won't see again him again.

I head back upstairs to see that Tomas has texted me and I also have 10 missed calls, from Tomas.

It says:
