How We Met

Chapter 23

Joel's Perspective-

This was it; today was going to be the best day of my life.

A new beginning, as some would say.

Because I'm no longer going to have every good thing ruined by something bad.

Over the past couple years with Etho, sometimes something bad would follow a really good thing, but not nearly as much.

And today was going to be the day where everything is good.

And nothing bad will ever happen from it.

I can feel it.

Today's going to be my day.

-

I don't think I've ever felt so happy before.

Talking with people at the afterparty, I realized that it was funny how me and Etho met.

I mean, I thought he was annoying.

To be fair, I thought everyone was annoying.

I hated anyone who hated me because I thought they didn't know what I had to go through with my father.

Speaking of my father, yeah, he didn't show.

Which is to be expected.

Josh and my mother did though, and that made me feel better.

I wish my father could've been better and happy for me.

But I guess that's never going to happen.

Etho walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"You okay?" He asked, looking a bit concerned.

I put on a smile and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alright." I said quietly and Etho didn't look convinced.

"If you say so." He kissed my cheek and I chuckled and blushed.

"Thank you." I whispered and Etho hugged me.

I hugged back tightly, and we stood there for about a minute, just taking in the moment.

"You know, today's the happiest day of my life." I said.

"Really?"

"Mhm. I know that nothing bad's going to happen after this. Because I have you."

Frick off, I know it's short along with every other chapter in this cod damn book but leave me the frick alone.

Jeez sorry that sounded mean. I guess I'm just really mad at myself for every chapter being so short. It makes me mad >:(

And I think that's just because I wanna do better and that I should be doing better- BUT WHATEVER THIS IS A WEDDING CHATPER NOT A PITY PARTY IM NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABT MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter despite it being (again) so short. And I would be lying if I said that I wasn't speed running fluff just to get to the angst. Soooo, enjoy that and have a good rest of your day!
