After I bought some clothes and some food I called Aunt Cathy to come and get me. I walked outside and got into the car. "Ohhh I see those bags. did you have fun" she asks. "Yeaah I did" I tell her and smile. We drive off and once again Aunt Cathy is talking a mile a minute. I don't even bother to listen. I Just sit in the car and smile thinking about Caleb. In all the Chaos of my dad's death maybe this was what I needed. A new start. When we get to the house I take my bags upstairs and put the change she gave me in a jar behind my dresser. That's where the money I found at the hotel was. I decided to save. I don't know for what. Anything I wanted, needed maybe. I didn't have a new number on my phone so I transferred everything off my old phone to my new one. I texted Caleb.
Hey
Caleb :
Wasssup
Wyd
Caleb :
Shit bored. you should come somewhere with me tonight
ooh where
Caleb : Idk. I'm just tryna chill with you ma.
Movies ?
Caleb :
Fine with me.
So apparently I was going to the movies with Caleb later on tonight. I had to think about this. I have a boyfriend. Well He's in another state maybe I should end things. So I did.
Jacob. Maybe we should end things. My emotions are a wrecking ball right now and I'm in Florida. You're in Georgia. it just won't work. I love you !! friends ?
I send that text and don't even look at his response when he texts me back. Everything I told him was the truth and it wasn't even only about Caleb. Now this would actually be a new start.
