Changes: A New Life Book 2

Chapter 31: Because You Locked The Bedroom Door

Okay, maybe we never got the cake finished.... But we both still had a lot of fun.

Vince and I laid outside on a blanket, looking up at the stars. It stopped raining a while ago, so we were good.

"I'm glad you came to Pennsylvania.", Vince said as he turned to face me.

"I'm glad I did too, but I still miss my old home, ya know?", I said.

"I understand.", he said slowly.

There was an awkward silence, but we both knew we were thinking about stuff.

No matter what, this is going to be my permanent home. I'm engaged with Vince, so this is it.

"Just because your with him doesn't mean your ending your life!", Meghan yelled into the phone.

"If you think about it, Yeah. I am.", I said slowly as I brushed out my hair in the master bathroom.

"Maybe your ending your old life, but getting engaged is making a new life, starting a new beginning with the one you love.", Meghan said, a little softer now.

"But what about college? What about going to parties and you know. Doing 'dangerous' things?", I asked her putting the hair brush down.

"Whose stopping you?", she asked me.

"Vince will.", I replied.

"Fuck no! He won't be stopping you! Have you met Vince? He will be at the parties with you, getting drunk. You guys can go to college together!", she said as she gasped into the phone.

"I already know he's not going to go to college. He told me that he wasn't the 'college' type.", I said rolling my eyes and walking out of the bathroom.

"Just try and convince him! I have to go. Mom has another doctors appointment.", She said into the phone.

"Alright, bye.", I hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. I fell onto the bed and sighed.

Am I thinking differently about all this? I mean, I want to go to college, get a good education, Work my dream job......

Will I be able to do that?

"Hey....", Vince said as he walked through the bedroom door.

"Hi.."

"So um.... Meghan talked to me.", he said rubbing the back of his neck.

She can't keep her mouth shut for five minutes!

"Oh...", I said looking away from his eyes.

"You can still have a life...", he said softly.

"I-I... I just need to think.", I said getting up and walking past him. I ran down the stairs and walked into the mudroom and slipping on my flip flops. I ran out of the house and down by the docks.

I sighed, sitting down on one of the docks.

"'Mom..... I don't know what to do.", I said as I looked up at the blue sky. "Will have I have a life? Will I do what I want to do?"

I laid backwards, concentrating on my breathing. I just got Vince back, why am I feeling like this? Of course I want a life with him, he is my life. I love him, and maybe Meghan is right.

I walked back to the house, with a smille on my face. I opened the door, "Vince. We should talk.", I took off my flip flops and walked inside. I walked into the kitchen, Vince was in there. With a girl?
