'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 64

Amandas POV:

It's my last day in Michigan and to be honest, I don't want to leave. I'm packing up my stuff in Marshall's room with an unease feeling, you know, there are days I wish I hadn't left Michigan. Each time I pack up and leave it gets harder and harder because I'm starting to feel at home again, Marshall made me feel at home in his house and I have loved every second of being with him. I know I'll miss him when I go back because I don't know when I'll see him again.

I grab the last of my clothes and fold them in my suitcase, I hear Marshall clearing his throat "You packed up?" He asks me as he walks over to me while I'm closing my suitcase and zipping it up "I guess I am" I sigh as I move my suitcase on the floor and pull the handlebar up "What's wrong?" He asks me "I don't know, I just-" I sit on his bed "Going back to LA again I-" I look at Marshall as he sits "How do we make this long-distance relationship work? I'm always flying back and forth every couple of months, it doesn't make sense" I tell him and he furrows his brows together, he's clearly perplexed "What are you saying Amanda? You want to break up" He asks me

"No that's not what I'm saying" I shake my head "That's what you are saying" He glares at me "I don't get it, I thought you loved me and you want to fucking breakup" Marshall raises his voice "I do love you" I stare at him in disbelief "Bullshit, bitch" He gets up and tries to storm away "Marshall, I want to live with you" I yell, he stops dead in his tracks "But you think I want to break up with you then yeah lets breakup" I glare at him as he turns around "No no, I'm sorry Amanda" His face softens as he walks over to me "What made you change your mind?" Marshall asks me "Long distance relationship never works and we have been apart for long enough, I didn't want to be apart from you anymore" I smile at him "What are you gonna do about Kristy?" Marshall asks me "I'll chat with her and see if she wants to move back to Detroit or stay in LA" I tell Marshall

"I don't think she'll want to move from LA because she's in a relationship with Nancy's son Chase" Marshall furrows his brows together again "Chase" He shakes his head "Nahh I don't trust that kid, he has this look" I cut him off "Marshall, I've known him for years, he's a good kid" I place both my hands behind his neck "Amanda, I was a teenager once, don't think I don't know what kind of kid he is" Marshall says sternly "Don't judge a book by its cover Marshall" I shake my head "If the cover of the book looks dirty and run down I will judge it because there is a problem with the inside" He yanks my hands off his neck "People judged you without knowing you" I glare at him "I'm trying to look out for Kristy, Amanda" Marshall calms himself down "And I appreciate it but you have to trust me on this" I sigh "I trust you but Kristy better make sure he's a good guy" Marshall leaves the room with a door slam.

Him looking out for Kristy makes me love him even more because he cares about her and I know he means well, it's obvious this stems from his broken marriage due to infidelity but he needs to understand I know Nancy and Phillip and their children better than him. I have been friends with them for nearly 8 years. As a whole, they have given me so much that I have no clue how to ever repay them. Marshall, he's a complicated type of person, you never know what he's thinking about until he says it either in his music or in person.

When he mentioned not trusting Chase, I didn't expect it, I know Chase, I know he's a handful at times and drives Nancy absolutely insane, but above all, I know he's a good kid. Kristy is the same way, she drives me insane to where I believe I'll have an aneurysm, she's a typical moody teenager but she is a good, smart girl. They'll work out, although I firmly believe she'll kill him if he pisses her off while she's on her cycle.

I grab my phone that's resting on the nightstand, I sit on the bed and call Kristy, she answers after three rings "Amanda, I'm in school right now, what's up?" She asks me. God, how do you tell someone you are moving away? "I just wanted to tell you, Marshall and I came to a decision that I move in with him" I tell her "So you are not coming home anymore?" She pauses between "you" and "are" "I'm flying back to pick up the rest of my stuff and then move to Detroit" I tell Kristy, the end of her line goes dead and it begins to beep. She hung up on me.
