Life as a Lynch

Chapter 33

It's crazy to think about all the stuff that's happened in the last year and a half.

Right after Sophomore year ended, Ali's family moved across the country to New York. I heard from one of her friends that she had her baby the August before junior year started, but I don't know if she had a boy or girl, or what she named it. Jesse stayed away from her for the most part once he found out the baby wasn't his.

As for Jesse and Lukas; it took Jesse a while to forgive him for what he did, but around the time basketball season started junior year, they were talking again. They might not be as good of friends as they used to be, but they talk to each other, and hang out again.

September of junior year, Maddie had her baby. She had a girl and they named her Mackenzie, but we call her Kenzie. Kenzie is the cutest little baby. She looks so much like Trevor it's scary. She's a little over a year old now. Trevor, Maddie, and Kenzie moved out around Christmas time so they could be closer to the college Trevor was attending for the next semester.

Jesse and I have been together for two years now; including the four months I was abducted. On my 18th birthday, Jesse got offered a full ride scholarship to a California State in Sacramento for football. I'm so unbelievably proud of him. The only thing that kinda sucks is now Jesse has to graduate early and move to Sacramento so he can start training and getting ready for football season. The school is also about 6 hours away, so seeing him is going to be difficult. We both agreed that we weren't going to let the distance get between us.

It's currently December, and there's about a month until Jesse goes away to school. It seems like the closer it gets, the more time we spend together.

"Have you done any of your Christmas shopping yet?" Jesse asks me while we're sitting on his couch, snuggled up next to each other.

"I'm about halfway done. I started when you were visited your dorm and stuff two weeks ago." I answer.

"I haven't done any of it."

"Christmas is next week, you should probably get started."

"Do you wanna go now?" He asks.

"Sure."

We get our shoes on and head to the mall. I didn't have much shopping to do, so I was done pretty fast. Jesse on the other hand didn't know what to get anyone.

"I want to get you something special." He says to me as we're walking through the mall holding hands.

"I told you, you really don't have to get me anything. Just spend time with me before you leave and I'll be happy." I tell him.

"I feel like that's not good enough for a Christmas present though."

"Jesse, I really don't care about the gifts." I say moving in front of him so we're face to face.

Jesse places his hands on my hips.

"I just want this Christmas to be perfect."

"And it will be, as long as I'm with you." I smile before reaching up and kissing him.

"So does this mean you already got my gift?" Jesse questions as we start walking again.

"Yep. But don't even try to get me to tell you what it is."

"I wasn't planning on it. I want it to be a surprise."

For the next hour or so, I help Jesse finish his shopping. When we're done, we head back to his house and we hang out until I have to go home.

Hope you liked!!

I know I haven't updated a lot lately and I know I said a few weeks ago that this book probably would've been done by now; but I've been really busy with work and getting stuff ready for school. I also lost motivation and haven't had anything to inspire me to write. I'm hoping that'll change when I go back to school.

My senior year starts tomorrow....It's crazy.

When do you guys go back to school and what grade are you in?

Hopefully I'll update again soon!

Thanks for reading!! :)
