A Shot At Love

Chapter 14~The night continues

I thought my long day ended the minute I got off work, but I guess I was wrong.  It's not the best to come home from a stressful day and hear screaming and hollering. And it's even worse to come home and hear screaming and hollering that involves you. 

My brother and father were yelling back and forth at each other, once again. The only difference is my mom was involved. 

"I really think you should let Autumn make her own dam.n decisions!" Is all I hear leave my brothers mouth the second I walk inside the house. 

"This will be best for her and you know it!" My father says back, and i'm really starting to get confused. 

What's best for me?

"What are you guys talking about?" My voice comes out strained and everyone eyes widen in surprise. My parents look at each other as if they're speaking in code, which makes me even more worried. "Is someone going to start taking?" 

I walk closer to where they're standing in the kitchen and look back and forth between them. My brother is the first one to speak up which causes my dad to look at him cautiously.

"Lets just say, mom and dad is trying to make a big decision that will involves your future." Aaron then looks towards my parents as a smirk creep up on his face. 

"What is he talking about?" I question, turning towards my parents, basically pleading for them to give me an explanation. 

"Listen Autumn, me and your father thought it'll be best if you went to get some help on your condition next year instead of heading to university." Once the thought leaves my mothers mouth i go into hysterics. 

"Who are you to decide what I do with my future!" I scream  " I will not stay here in this house hold to get help that I don't need. I'm perfectly fine and i'm completely capable of handling myself on my own. So stop looking at me as some crazy little girl that you had, i'm fine, and i'll say it over and over again until you guys understand."

"Autumn, you need to calm down. We just thought it would be the right thing to do to get you some help before you go out into the world alone." My dad speaks with a stern tone. 

"Well if you really thought, you would know that that's not what's best for me. And why are you even thinking about this? It's the beginning of the year. Or did you plan on shipping me off sometime soon. You guys can keep thinking and talking about it. Just know it'll be a waste of breath, because i'm not doing it." 

I rush up the stair after I finish, not wanting to hear anything they have to say. Today have really been a hectic day and I would like to just go to sleep and forget everything that happened, besides my internship. 

That was the only upside about this day. Since the school year started, so much have happened, and i'm scared to see how the rest of the year goes.

I lay down in my bed and take a deep breath. I close my eyes to try and subside the headache that's starting to form.

A few minutes pass, before I hear the ding on my cell phone go off. I sit up and grab it to check who it was, and to my surprise it's Trey. 

I thought I made it clear today that I don't want a relationship with him, but I guess he didn't get the memo.

From Egotistical jock: I'm sorry for treating you the way I did, I know it was wrong and I should respect your wishes if you don't want to be with me.It's just for some odd reason, I can't get you out of my head. I really hope you'll give me a second chance. Please.

I stare at the message and debate whether I want to text back or not. My mind is telling me not too but something in my heart tells me other wise. And once again, my heart wins the battle.

 I start to type my reply when I notice that i'm not sure what i'm about to say. I don't want to get into a relationship at all right now. Especially after what Trey did. But I really do feel something when I think of him. Maybe we could just take things slow. 

To Egotistical jock: I don't want a relationship, but we can try and be friends and that's as far as i'll go. I was already on the edge about going on that date with you, and you ruined every bit of faith that we had. So I'll try to give you friendship and nothing more. 

Not even a minute after I send the message, Trey replies. 

From Egotistical jock: I respect your decision, and I thank you for giving me some type of relationship with you. I know I messed up and I hope one day you'll forgive me for being so stupid. 

To Egotistical jock: There's always a possibility of a second chance, you just have to work hard for it, and earn it. I don't hold grudges, never have and never will. I just learn from the situation and teach myself to make better choices. So you're already forgiven, just know that the incident will never be forgotten. 

I do hope one day that me and Trey can move past everything and build a relationship that's more than just friends. But as of now I can't put myself in a dangerous situation. 

All of a sudden my phone starts ringing, and I stare flabbergasted at my caller ID. 

Why is he calling me?

"Hello." I answer with a hesitant voice. 

"Are you saying that I have another a chance?" Trey jumps straight to conversation, disregarding my hello.

 " There's always a chance for another one. I just all depend on whether the person who wants it works hard enough." He takes in a big sigh as he register my words. 

The next thing he says to me leave me astounded. 

"Stay on the phone with me tonight." 

Do he not understand that's not the actions of two new "friends". 

"We have school tomorrow" I say, stating the obvious.

"I don't care, I just want to talk with you." and with that I easily agree. We stay on the phone for the rest of the night talking about nothing important at all, just enjoying each others company. That's when I notice that this is more than just a school girl crush.

Fuc.k. How did I get here?
