Changes: A New Life Book 2

Chapter 26: VINCE!

I stayed up all night, drowning myself in my own grief. My hands were so sweaty, nervous to get a call from Ms. Johnson. She told me that she would call, why hasn't she called yet?

My phone was ringing, I didn't even check who it was, I just answered it.

"HELLO?", I practically screamed into the phone.

"Geez, burst my ear drum much? And Shelby was wondering if you wanted to come over to the cabin for a bit while I'm out.", He asked.

"Mike?"

"Yeah?", he asked.

"Nothing. And sure, I'll come down. I am supposed to be getting a call from my therapist, about me visiting Vince....", I said slowly.

"Yeah I know.", he said.

"How do you know?", I questioned him.

"It doesn't matter. But will you?", he asked.

"Yeah, I'll be over in an hour or so." I hung up the phone and walked out of Vincent's room.

"Meghan she hasn't called back!", I whined to Meghan as I walked into the Living room.

"It's been three days! Could you hold on for a little bit longer?", she said folding some towels.

"No I cannot wait anymore longer!", I whined again.

"You didn't wake up screaming this morning.... That's good.", she said smiling.

"That's because I haven't went to sleep. I was to anxious.", I said sitting down on the recliner.

"You look way better than you have this whole month.", she said taking the clothes into the bathroom. 

I walked up to the mirror in the living room and looked at myself. I actually didn't look... terrifying. 

When Ms. Johnson told me that I could probably see Vince, most of my grief was gone. To hear his voice, his soft touch, his kiss. I couldn't wait, I needed to see him. I just really hope he could realize how much I have been through to stay. 

I packed a bag full of clothes to stay with Shelby. All of the clothes were either Vincent's or Meghan's. I put the bag on my shoulder and hugged Meghan goodbye. 

"Don't get yourself into trouble!", she yelled as I walked out the door. 

"Trouble is my middle name!", I yelled as I closed the door. I walked to the truck and turned it on. As I drove out of the driveway, Shelby called me. 

"I'm on my way.", I said as I stopped to check both ways.

"Alright just checking to see if you were coming. Bye!", she said and hung up.  

***

I drove to the cabins and parked outside there house. I got out of the truck and ran up to the door. Mike opened the door and picked me up, giving me a hug. 

"I'VE MISSED YOU!", he yelled. 

"I missed you too!", I said. 

He put me down and I hugged Shelby. Mike said our goodbyes and we started to watch a movie. Shelby got a tub of icecream and 2 spoons.

"Andddd here you go!", she said handing me the spoon. 

"Why thank you. And where's Mike going?", I asked digging into the icecream. 

"Somewhere.", she said smiling. 

"Really? Your not going to tell me?", I whined. 

"He's just going shopping for a party were going to have soon.", she said shoving a mouthful of icecream in her mouth. 

"Am I invited to this party?"

"HELL YEAH!", she said giggling. "Okay look at this.", she said digging down beside the couch and brought up a white photo album. 

She flipped over a few pages until she stopped and gave me the book. "Look!", she exclaimed. 

"OMG, is that Vince?", I said as I laughed. It was Mike and him in their soccer jerseys in 9th grade. They were both super muddy and the caption beside it said: 

                   "Instead of playing the game, these two knuckleheads decided to have a mudfight in the middle of the field! 2008"

"Isn't that crazy?!", she said and flipped through some more pages. "Then right here..... Ah, this is Vince and Meg at one of Mike's birthday parties. Vince was... I think 8?", she said laughing. 

The picture showed Meghan, Vince and Mike arms around each other in a kiddy pool. "This is priceless!", I exclaimed. I began to look further into the book and Vince was mostly in every picture.

"They were really bestfriends back then.", I said.

"Yep. But one year, I think it was 10th grade. They got into a huge fist fight, they both got kicked from the soccer team and detention for a week. They hated each other for like a day, then they were best friends again. Of course when Mike graduated school and so did I, he didn't have anyone. So that's when he became the 'bad boy' at school.", she said putting the lid over the icecream. 

I yawned and said, "Dude I'm gonna take a nap...", I said taking the cover down from the top of the couch. 

"Sure, go ahead.", she said from the couch. I fell asleep fast because I didn't sleep at all last night. 

***

I heard slight whispers from the kitchen as I woke up. I opened my eyes and saw the movie that was playing was over. I through off the blanket and got up from the couch. I walked into the kitchen to see Shelby talking to Mike. 

"Why are you guys whispering?", I asked half yawning. 

"Oh nothing.....", they both saidsimultaneously.  I just waved it off and said, "I gotta go pee."

I walked upstairs to there bathroom, the door was closed so I just knocked. 

"Why am I knocking?", I said to myself. But the door opened, and Vince was in front of me. 

"VINCE?!", I screamed at the top of my lungs. I jumped on him and he caught me. I gave him a big smooch on his face. 

"VINCE, I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!", I screamed again.

"Oh babygirl, I did too.", he said sobbing into my neck. I gave him another kiss on his lips, making it an extra long one.

"Vince, I love you.", I said as he put me down. His eyes were puffy, along with his lips. He was in full uniform and I said, "I can't believe you are here. I really hope this is a dream." I gave him a hug as Mike and Shelby ran upstairs. I turned around and asked, "Mike, did you go get him?"

He nodded and grabbed Shelby by the waist. "You guys can go down stairs, so you guys can have your privacy."

We both nodded and bolted down the stairs.
