Meet Me Half Way

Chapter 35

"The trouble is, you think you have time." - Buddha.

Two months later.

I let him go that day, and I let him go so he could finally be happy. I let him go so he would no longer have to deal with me. I let him go so he could be free.

The CWS was now coming to a close. The final game was tomorrow. Vanderbilt vs. Michigan. I was at all of the games. I was the perfect girlfriend. I was in some way happy. Hannah and Mason found an apartment in Nashville, where they both decided they wanted to live. I don't know their situation; I know they want to raise the baby together.

Luke, I wasn't sure what he did these last two months. All I know is he has been traveling a lot ever since school has been out, mainly with Mia. They seemed happy, and I'm glad they are.

Spencer, he's been great. He's been the most charming boy I think I've been around. Of course, he's tried to be the best boyfriend, but I think he has noticed that my mind has been elsewhere.

"Girl, please come in," Hannah said as she closed the door behind me.

Her apartment with Mason was cute. It seemed the perfect size for a family of four whenever Hayden was around, of course.

"Wow, Hannah, this is amazing."

Hannah giggled as she pulled my hand to the next room.

"This is my room where I'll be sleeping with the baby. Mason let me have the primary bedroom, which I think was nice of him. The next room is Hayden's room. He, unfortunately, got the smallest room just because he won't always be there. Then across the hall is the bathroom and Mason's room. We somehow fit everything in the apartment even though it's not super big, but Mason is a huge organizer, so that helped a lot."

I admired Hannah as she rambled on about the apartment. I could tell she was excited. I could tell she liked Mason and Hayden. I see them being together in the future if they aren't already.

"Hannah, this is amazing. I couldn't be happier for you."

Hannah hugged me, "Thank you for believing in me."

"Of course, Hannah, you are my best friend."

"You just missed Colin the other day. He came in and painted the kitchen. Did he tell you?"

I smiled as I looked around the kitchen. Colin called me yesterday and told me all about it.

"He told me how excited he was to work on a project. He's hoping to build his portfolio."

"Painting is good for the mind; I can see him as a carpenter."

I sat down on their couch, careful not to wrinkle anything.

"So, are you coming to the game tomorrow?" I asked.

Hannah sighed as she sat down next to me. She was only five months, but she had a more challenging time.

"I'm not sure if it's a good idea, getting on an airplane and all."

I felt so stupid; of course, pregnant woman can't fly.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, Hannah, I completely forgot."

She laughed and shooed her hand at me.

"It's fine. It was kind of funny. I will watch it on TV, though."

I glanced at the time and cursed, "I have to leave now if I want to make my flight. Wish the team luck."

I kissed her on the cheek before heading out the door.

"Harley," Spencer shouted as he picked me up in a hug and spun me around.

"I'm glad I could get here on time, no delays," I said as I kissed him.

He smiled as he pulled away, "I'm glad you're here too."

"Big day tomorrow, is Ben pitching?"

Spencer's eyes widened as he took me up to the hotel room.

"Oh, yeah, he is. He's as nervous as ever, and I don't know how often Sam has had to monitor his mental breakdowns. The boys have been hyping him up, though. We all have given our support and words of wisdom."

"I'd be scared too if I was him or even any of you guys. It is a lot of pressure. I could not imagine what it must be like."

Spencer smiled as he kissed me on the head, "Lucky for me, I have my lucky charm."
