The Split Paths (Owens POV)

Chapter 4: The Decision

"I got a choice?" I had so many emotions running through me. I was in a trance. I had Surprise, regret, and happiness all in a single moment. "Of fucking course I would."

"Great!" She handed me a pen and paper. "As of this being signed and shown to the court I will be your legal guardian." I signed my name at the bottom and gave it back. I was ready to start a new life as me. A new me. A traveler, a reader, astrology, and all sorts of new things. We did a little bit of shopping for flannels and ripped jeans. We went back to Hope's with a good amount of stuff. Hope had an appartment about the size of Mac's house. She had three bedrooms. One for Olivia. Another for Kathleen. And the last one for her. I have known Olivia for 5 years now and Kathleen for 4. I have known Hope since I was a fetus.

I heard a knock on the door. 'Who could that be?' I thought. Kathleen ran to it before I could. Turned out it was the pizza guy. He gave us our food and ran off. She looked at him as he ran and muttered something I couldn't understand. So I shook it off. Kathleen was always the flirty type but pizza guy? Really Kathleen? I was literally just fucking blindsided.
"I'm going on a walk!" I yelled. I wasn't exactly hungry so I went on a walk to reflect some things.
