Chapter 9

Abbie's POV

It's the end of October now. A few weeks before my 18 birthday, coming of age. To date and then marry by 20 to start having a family but I don't have that opportunity.

Within the time leading to now I have been through a lot. I started with 2 classes for the school semester left and ended with 1, being art. I used that time to work on slowly dropping my barriers and working on duties that come with serving The Mother.

I have talked The Mother about my soulmates and how Fate can be blinded by Destiny's actions. Though said my soulmates do have strong personalities. Mother says to speak blunt and boldly if they found me.

"You will not bend and bow that easily Abbie." She says. "You serve women and children not men. Let them serve you."

The only problem is my girlfriend, Ashley. I love human. The labeled term, a pansexual. But I think human. To share and show emotions to someone for you.

I love her but cannot bring her into this mess. It will only bring hard for the both of us. I one sidedly decided to wipe her memory of myself when we go to New York for my birthday. Moments made with her now I hold dearly.

"Dad I'm leaving Thursday the 2nd, not the 10th! I come back the 10th!" Yelling from the kitchen.

"So when does your exam start or do you just get the credit to graduate? I want to prepare for the party." He walks to the refrigerator to grab a beer.

"Um I think I just need to write a report on a famous and influential art figure. Then I get credit and I'm out of there." Clapping my hands.

"You grew up too fast Bee. Come here." Opening his arms for one of those long hugs.

"Mmh. You'll see me for my birthday and then I graduate and I'm off again to Italy for thanksgiving and to Russia just before Christmas."

"Why?" He holds a little tighter to dance around.

"Coming of age. I don't like it either. In end I will have no children and be soulmates to men." I whisper to him.

"You always overcome. I don't expect you to be "fixed" but rather less anxious around them." He lets go laughing a little, kissing my head.

"Yes yes. I will see them for their words and not their unspoken thoughts. Changing topic: Where's Isabella?" I finish up lunch as it's the weekend and my day off.

"With Edward. I don't like that boy."

"To be less anxious around them, huh." I turn giving him a plate.

"You stay away from him too. I need back up." Joking warning me.

"Fine fine. I'll stay away." Sitting with him.

Later on that evening I finished my final for art. I got a message from Ash about Halloween costumes, couple ones, my favorite being Sally and Jack the Pumpkin King.

"Be the king?"

"Only if you be Sally."

"Always." She replied making think when is Halloween.

"Oh It's today?"

"Did you forget?!?!"

"No I'll be there in 20 minutes." Rushing to get to the car before I pull my pillowcase off my pillow.

I went to her house to trick-or-treat around the city together then stayed 2 hours after to help her pack.

"You don't need much just jeans, shirts, hoodies, Pjs and shoes. We can share clothes." I talk her to stop her from overpacking.

"But I want to look cute for you and it's for your birthday. Dinner and for the young night." She winks at me.

"Oh my gift. Then bring a skirt, maybe a little shorter." I suggest.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." She says patting my head.

"Ugh I don't want to go home. Sleep over?" Picking up a shirt from the pile.

"Don't you have your final tomorrow?" 

"Yea. I'll come after to drop off my suitcase then. Date before going or stay at your house?"

"My house." She bites her lip. "Now go home. I'll see you tomorrow, don't miss me too much."

"The things you do, baby." I kiss her.

"Tomorrow. Bye baby. Call when you home. Love you." She yells as go to my car.

Next morning

"Final art piece is due within the two weeks. Again pick a famous and influential art figure then write a 8 page biography of them and describe some of their works, finally you replicate of their works. Worth 80% of grade." Mrs. Hope announces met with groans of annoyance from the class.

"Here is my final. I'm leaving on a trip before my birthday that is why I turn it in early." I hand her the report and canvas.

"Thank you. Enjoy your trip. Here's a pass."

I walk out to go home to pack some clothes. I tell dad of my plans when I'm met with Isabella and Edward busting through my door.

"Omg aren't you guys suppose to be at school?!?"

"I need your help with finals!! And Edward got me out of school!!" Isabella yells.

"I can't help you I got places to be. Plus I'm already done with all my finals." 

"How?!? You fucked the staff there?!"

"Isabella get out of my room! I have studied my ass off to graduate early from that miserable place! Get out!"

"Not until you help me!" She pleas with me.

"You should have thought of that before commenting on the staff. Get out!! Dad already knows I'm leaving. Don't do any stupid!" I push her out my room and Edward follows out. I closed my door and angrily finish packing.
