Fire With Fire

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

We woke up again to the snow falling outside, a week we had been here and it was nothing but snowflakes coming from the sky. I couldn't complain though, aside from California this was amazing. Justin's family was complaining since they dealt with this every year. No one had gone to work in two days because the blizzard cut out the electricity and the roads were blocked.

Justin and I had settled that I would apply for jobs, it just wasn't like me to let him take care of me financially. Besides we were living with his parents so the least I could do was pay them for things around the house. Rose was so gracious with me, always tending to our needs and taking care of us.

Both his parents were retired but volunteered to keep themselves busy, Justin of course was waiting on fights so he was always training. Troy was transitioning from the military to home life again. Then Jasmine and I were just hanging around the house helping keep things in order.

Justin and Troy were in the garage working out to keep in shape, since Rose was relaxing I decided to chill on the couch with Taz right by my side. The hardest transition I was having was not being comfortable with everyone just yet. I didn't know what I could and couldn't do, I still asked permission to do simple tasks.

Then not having my friends was a big one, I missed them like crazy. It was still surreal I was even here, it didn't feel like my life. Kara took it the hardest but I kept reminding her she could fly out and see us, we already cleared it with his family. As I was browsing jobs on Justin's laptop I saw the perfect opportunity for me.

A bridal gown consultant, something I could easily do. It wasn't a career but it was still a job I could enjoy. The only hard part was that Justin and I only had one vehicle. I did some research and it was a full time job so we wouldn't get much time together. At least I would be making some extra money. It was at a bridal shop a few cities away so not too far.

Justin walked into the living room, sweat dripping off his forehead. "Hey babe" I called him making his gaze match mine. "Come look at this"

He sat down next to me as I handed him the laptop, he was out of breath so the only noise was him breathing. I watched as he scanned the screen with his eyes, he nodded in agreement. "I think its good love" he smiled. "Go ahead and apply, we will figure something out"

I nodded continuing to the screen to fill out an application, sadly someone else would have to drive me since I didn't have my license yet. It wouldn't be too hard, they were always willing to help us out. Hopefully that would be dealt with soon but Justin didn't want me practicing in the snow.

Justin quickly got up to go clean himself up before Rose had dinner on the table, she was such an amazing mom. All she wanted was to make us happy and see us smile. I really hoped when we had children I would be able to be like her in many ways.

I sighed thinking of my mom, she was probably devastated I ran away. She wasn't the greatest mother in the world but she was still my mom. If it wasn't for Dad I would have text her and told her where I was and what was going on.

Before I knew it tears were falling down my cheeks thinking of this whole situation. I really didn't have time to think things over I just relied on actions. I had to in order to make this plan work, I completely blocked my thoughts and feelings on it.

"Love, whats wrong?" Justin asked kneeling down in front of me while he closed the laptop placing it on the table. I shook my head, really not wanting to have this conversation in front of his family. "Come on" he said scooping my legs under his arms to carry me up to his room.

Gently placing me on the bed he quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe my tears away. He sat next to me wrapping his arms around my shoulder just letting me cry into him. "Love its okay, just breathe" he whispered.

"I'm sorry" I said trying my hardest to calm myself down.

"What is it?"

"I just thought of my mom, I don't know how well she is taking this" I sobbed burying my face in his shoulder. I knew he was the right choice and I was supposed to be with him it was just hard to deal with.

"Oh love, I'm so sorry" he sighed pulling me even closer.

"For what?"

"I took you away from her, I'm the one who took you away from your only family and asked you to completely readjust your life"

I looked up at him to see the look of just sorrow on his face, I wasn't sure if he was going to start crying or not. "It was also my choice honey"

"I could have worked something out to live with you there but I was too selfish and wanted you out of that house"

"I know but I understand" I sighed taking another deep breath to keep myself from crying anymore, this was a hard time for us both. "Its okay sweet pea, its just a transition issue I am having"

Justin nodded placing a soft kiss on my forehead, "I promise I will show you that you made the right decision"

I smiled quickly kissing his lips, I knew he would keep his promise. He always did, I had no reason to believe he wouldn't. I stood up straightening out my shirt when Justin grabbed my legs pulling me close to him again. Wrapping my arms around his neck I kissed the top of his head, my life was with this man now.
