Within the next five months Tom and I's relationship only grew stronger. Yea we still had the occasional arguments but, we never stayed mad for more than a day. We had been spending a lot of time together. My mom had finally allowed him to spend the night and sleep in the bed with me. He did have to work more than he did to save up money for the band to move.
A lot of things changed for me as well. I recently just got my drivers license which I'm very happy for. I've been talking with my dad more and he even came out to visit during spring break. Three months ago my mom forced me to get a job because she claimed I had been spending too much time at the house so after school and occasionally on weekends I work at a small clothing store that's somewhat close to the bookstore where Tom works.
I'm also very proud to say I haven't cut in over five months. I'm getting better. My depression can still really get to me at some points but I've found other ways deal with it, rather than cutting. Big news for my mom too, she's getting married in June to her boyfriend. He's a really cool guy I didn't like him at first but after getting to know him and hang out with him I've warmed up to him a lot. He actually moved in to my moms place a couple months ago and it's going good.
I even applied for a few colleges after a long talk with Tom, we decided that it would be best for me to apply just in case. Letters are supposed to start coming in soon from the colleges I applied to, so fingers crossed. My social life has been going great too. Before I only had one friend ,and that was Vic but since then, he's introduced me to some people Cara, Jo, Trey and Dylan. And now I've got a group of friends that I can actually count on.
One of them, Cara she works with me and she's actually my best friend. Tom still hasn't stopped hinting about California he still wants me to come with him. It's always a possibility but every time he brings it up I just tell him that we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Of course he gets annoyed by my answer but he understands. Part of me wants to move with him but part of me wants to stay and get my degree, I'm torn between the two. But my main focus has been graduation. Teachers are really stressing us to turn all of our things in. My grades have been great straight A's except for two B's. The last semester I made honor roll, and I hope I make it again.
Good news for Tom too, he's finally visited his family after days of my convincing. He only agreed if I went with him, saying that they wanted to meet me. I remember how nervous I was ,scared they would hate me. But they surprisingly they didn't his mom loves me and so does his sister. I love them too they are really good people. I had a great time meeting his family and his mother showing me old pictures of him when he was a baby and his geeky yearbook photos.
He was embarrassed when his mom pulled out old photo albums. No matter how much his family teased him about his pictures he was still adorable to me. The only thing is, I never met his dad. No matter how many times I tried to persuade him he just wouldn't do it. I felt so bad because according to his mom and brother, Tom was close to his Dad before the drinking and all the women.
But on a lighter note, Blink has become really popular they've been doing more shows and going to more places trying to get the band out there. I'm so proud of them. My three boys, I feel like a proud mother. I'm so grateful and just happy that my life is great it's amazing. I'm finally loving every second of it.
