23. Graduation Part I

cover by @warriorwithabook for creating a beautiful cover for this book.

Twelve days later.

Jensen and Lauren have been a pain in arse for the last twelve days. They made sure that I stayed in bed. The only time I was allowed out of bed was I needed to go to the bathroom.

When I was finished in the bathroom they would make sure that I went straight back to bed.

Lauren took care of me before and after school.

Jensen worked from home in his office. He spent his breaks with me in bed and we watched TV and talked about the things that were bothering.

*Flashback*

Jensen climbed into bed with me one afternoon. He looked at me and said. "Can you please talk to me? Tell me what's bothering you?"

I sigh and look into his beautiful blue eyes. "Jensen, I'm too f'd up to be in a relationship with you. Also, I don't know what's real and fake anymore. These past couple of months feel like a dream."

He touches my face. "It's not a dream, Joy. If you still want the divorce I'll give it to you. But, I want to marry you again on our terms. Is that alright with you?"

I have tears running down my face. "I accept, Jensen. Can we get married again before the baby comes? I want to have a small wedding."

He nods. "I was thinking about going to Vegas with Lauren. I'll invite my brother and his girlfriend. They can be our witnesses."

*End flashback*

When we got home from the hospital Lauren voiced her concerns about me to Jensen. He soothed her and promised her that he would do everything he could to get me better. He called a psychologist and she visits me three times a week.

Since, I've been seeing her things seem to be getting better for me.

***

I walk over to my cupboard and I pull out a long black dress I put it on and tie my hair into a ponytail. I exit the room and make my way to the kitchen where I can hear Jensen and Lauren joking around.

Those two have become close.

Lauren looks towards the door and smiles at me. "Morning, sis. We made you breakfast. It was supposed to be a surprise, but, you ruined it." She pouts.

I walk over to her and give her a hug. "I'm so sorry. But, I'm starving and I'm looking forward to Graduation that I couldn't stay in bed any longer."

She looks at me. "You should sit down. Jensen and I will bring over your breakfast ones it's done."

I sniff and whatever it is there cooking is burning. "Can you smell that?"

They start sniffing and Jensen looks into the pan. "Fuck, I burnt the pancakes." He turns towards me. "You distracted me from cooking."

I roll my eyes.

It's not that hard to cook a meal without getting distracting.

Jensen throws the pancakes into the bin. He sprays the pan and puts in the batter.

I move toward him and kiss his neck. "This" kiss "is" kiss "what" kiss "I call" kiss "distracting."

Lauren fake gags.

I turn towards her. "Grow up, Lauren. You'll be like this one day."

She shakes her head. "I want to travel the world first. I have a list of places I want to visit before I have what you have. Even though what you have isn't the perfect thing you wanted. Don't forget that Jensen truly loves you and that's the best gift anyone can give you, Joy."
