Another Chance at Love

Chapter 10

It was Summer vacation already. Me and Natty were more social we went to parties and hung out with more people. She became closer with Mia and she didn't have promblems with her dad. She told me he got a new job and everything was fine. She's the best thing to ever happen to me. She's my reason to do better. We were going out to a movie tonight. I wanted to tell her how I feel. I think I'm finally ready. Well I hope so. I was walking up to her door step thinking about when I should say it. Maybe when I walk her back home.
"Hey, you ready to go."
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts.
"Oh hey, I didn't see you come out."
She laughed and we started to walk toward town to get to the movie theater. She looked so pretty. She had her hair down and she wore a a t-shirt and shorts.
"So what movie you wanna see."
"I guess something funny. I'm not good with scary movies."
"Alright, you now there not real."
I said that sarcastically and she started laughing.
"Yes I know they're not real."
She started twirling around while she was walking. She looked so cute.
"What are you doing."
"I don't even know. I'm just really happy."
"So how's your dad doing."
"Ummm.... he's doing good."
She had a little bit of doubt in her voice, but She could trust me so she would tell me if he wasn't.
When we got into the movie theater, I got our tickets and we went into the movie. We were watchin the movie but all I could think about was if I was really ready to tell her. She might not fell the same. I really need to stop doubting myself.
The movie was over and we were walking home  and ofcourse she spinning around like a little kid but it was cute.
We got to her house and I was ready to say it.
"Hey Natty...ummm."
"What?"
"Nothing, I thought you had something on your face."
I actually can't believe I said that. What's wrong with me.
She smiled at me and said bye and went inside.
I just bagged my head on a tree an kept walking. That was my chance to say it and I blow it.

Later that month, me and her where walking through a forest and sat on on a rock so we could look at the lake and watch the sunset.

"Do you ever think about how different your life would be if your parents were different people."

I didn't really understand what she meant by that because I never really thought of it. How could you change your parents.

"Umm, not really. My parents really don't affect my life."

"No like what if our parents were rich. Like would I have a better future?"

"I think only you can decided what your future is."

"I don't know, sometimes I feel like if my dad was different I would be doing better."

"But your dad doesn't affect if you study or do you're homework."

"I know, I just look at these people who have good parents and a good life and they're going to the best colleges. I doubt I can even get into college."

" This whole year you've been trying your best, i think if you keep trying next year you'll get into which ever college you want. I believe in you.'

"Thanks. I actually can't believe we're graduating next year. It's weird thinking about it, you know."

" I know, It's kind of scary though like I don't wanna mess up. Plus if I move out I have to pay my bills go shopping, I'm gonna be broke."

"For real, we'll be broke together."

We both started laughing. She  rested her head on my stomach and we stayed there for 30 minutes before we decided to get up and leave.
