Young Blood || Cimorelli

[32]

I stood outside Peter's office playing with my bracelet. It was a cold cloudy day and thank God it wasn't raining. It's been two never ending weeks since lisa left. I've been quite alone in the apartment and in life... in general you know?. I've been bugging Peter to hurry the investigation so I can leave. I know it's kinda impossible to actually hurry a murder investigation but at least free me as a witness and allow me to leave the country.

I saw Peter walking out of the meeting that was held in the office across his. I ran up to him. ''So? Can I leave?'' I desperately asked. He sighed and led me to his office. He sat down and I did the same as I felt my hands sweating. His face wasn't the most calm one, he was definitely hiding something and I was scared of being disappointed.

''Spencer I'm afraid...'' He started and I gulped. ''You can leave, you're free'' He finally said and I sighed in relief. He got up and embraced me as I let go a few happy tears. I was free, I was able to leave this place and stop being so alone. ''So now, what do you wanna do? where do you wanna go?'' He asked me as we stepped out the office. A cold breeze brushed my hair away making it hard to see. The smile on my face was hard to remove and it finally felt like life was actually getting better.

''I don't really know yet.'' I replied. I looked at the sun that was setting and smiled. ''I should go now, I mean... to my apartment.'' I joked and he laughed. We said our goodbyes and I headed home. 

The apartment was a little bit cold so I turned the thermostat on. It was already night time and it was pouring like never before. I sat down on the couch with my computer. I didn't really knew what to do now, like should I go back to my old life? Or just like move on and disappear? I mean I'd like to leave or do something for me but I couldn't just disappear from earth... well I was already dead so it didn't really mattered if I disappear but I couldn't just leave Lisa after everything she did for me. I couldn't be that cruel, I couldn't be that selfish.

I looked at the website. Maybe I just needed to flight back home or maybe I should go somewhere else for a while. My phone started to ring somewhere in the room. I got up and grabbed it.

- Hello? - I asked.

- Princess... - I heard the australian accent from the other side of the line. I frowned in surprised. - Sorry I didn't called you before. I know it's been 2 weeks and you were probably waiting for my call but... it's kinda hard to find your number when you're living so far away. So I had to take some measures. - I smiled at the phone.

- Yeah? What did you do bad boy? - I joked, bitting my lower lip.

- Well I went to peter's office and he gave me your number and address. - He replied and I frowned again, but before I could reply I heard a knock on the door. I slowly made my way there and opened the door. He stood there with his typical black skinny jeans and a jacket. 

- Hi - He said through the phone. I smiled and we hung up. I jumped to his arms, wrapping my legs around his torso. He took me inside the apartment and closed the door behind. I felt his lips on mine and the world stopped for a minute. We broke the kiss because of the lack of oxygen. He put me on the floor.

''What are you doing here?'' I asked him. He smiled, walking to the living room and sitting on the couch.

''I just think that we left a few things inconclusive last time, like we expressed our feeling but never got the chance to talk about them and also about the future.'' He explained and I gulped.

''The future?'' I asked him. That word was hella scary to me, like thinking about the future was never really something that I was used to. Mainly because I wasn't use to think about it as an event.. like I never really thought it would happen. I was dealing with my shit day by day, taking it easy. But now he wanted to talk about the future...

''Yeah you know. Wait, don't freak out.'' He looked at me. I frowned in surprise once again. He took my hand. ''I didn't mean it that way. I really feel like we were somehow supposed to end up together no matter the circumstances. So yeah, I'm talking about the future because I do believe there's a future to us.''

I smiled. ''Actually... I think that's a good idea.'' I replied and he hugged me. ''So I guess now we're back together.'' 

''Gotta seal it with a kiss.'' He said as he grabbed my face and pulled me towards him. The kiss wasn't that long as the last one but it did meant a lot. ''Oh wait, I have something to give you.'' He said handing me an envelope. ''Peter gave it to me''

I opened it. It was a letter. I read it carefully and slowly. ''Oh God...''

''What?'' Luke asked curious.

''It's a scholarship. I won a scholarship but I didn't even applied to any...'' I was confused. Well actually getting a scholarship wasn't as bad, actually it was quite good.

''I already knew'' Luke replied laughing. I shot him a confused look. ''Peter told me before handing me the letter. He sent your grades to MIT and they accepted you. I mean, he didn't told them yet in which career but apparently your grades were quite good so you gotta choose a career now and I know exactly what you want.'' He replied and I raised my eyebrows.

''Calm down Sherlock. Okay so apparently you know what I want... You have one chance if you lose well... you'll have to buy pizza and pay for it.''

''And if I win?'' He asked smirking. I shrugged. ''You'll do anything I want to.''

''Anything you want to? I won't be your puppy or maid but hell yeah! it's on.'' I replied stretching my hand and shaking his. 

''I did a little bit of homework while walking to your apartment so.... I know you like the ocean so the obvious choice would have something to do with that, however I know you don't really like it that much. I know also that you're more of a introvert so probably psychology would also be the obvious choice. But those are not your dreamy career. You're a bit of a nerd although you have never really let people know. You love to read random books and you love science. It was a little secret that you managed to keep from everyone but not from me. I'll go with chemical engineer.'' He stated and I smiled.

''What a loser. Yes, you're right. I've always been curious about it and apparently you're a little bit obsessed with details.'' I replied annoyed. He smiled at me and I did the same. ''So what do you want me to do?''

''I want you to come with me to Nashville. I've booked a flight for us tomorrow.'' He suddenly blurted out.

''Wait what?'' 

***Hello it's me I've been wondering if after all this years you'd forgive me for not updating. Okay I've been lazy and also busy with college and all that crazy adult life. I apologize but since the end is coming for this ''''''''book''''''' ): i'm gonna try to update more often (lol)

Okay so I guess Luke is back lol.

I hope you like the chapter *wink wink* Vote/comment if you did.

Love you (thanks for the patience)
