Twin Rivalry// Merrell Twins

Chapter 17

Vanessa's POV

We went to a bakery to buy banana bread. Veronica, grandma and I went inside. I wanted to pay and the cashier was.........

'Chris! What are you doing here?!' 'What does it look like I work here?'
Both chuckles. Vanessa hugs him as she jump over the casher. 'Oh my god! I can't believe its YOU!' 'I'm happy to see you Chris' Veronica shakes his hands. 'Well hello boy.' 'Hi Grandma Merrell.' Grandma smiles. 'Why? What! How did you? Why did you ?' I asked. 'To see how my girlfriend is.' 'Thats so sweet of you. I love you.' 'I love you too.' 'Why don't you two walk around. Veronica and I will head home now.' 'That sounds great grandma . Thank you' Grandma smiles as I thanked her.
*Author's note*

I suggest you to hear Be Alright and Thinking Bout You by Ariana Grande when you read this part.

Chris and I walked around while holding hands. I can't believe were together now. 'Hey how is your collage application going?' I ask him. 'I don't really want to talk about that now.' He stops and lays down on a hammock. 'Whats wrong?' 'My dad...... he got a job at um .... *breaths heavily*' My heart was pumping so hard I could hear it pump every second in my ear . How I got butterflies in my stomach. 'Chris?' 'He got a job at Texas. And I have to follow him. Crawford too. My mom she um didn't want to go because well you know I always tell you.' 'They fight a lot.' 'She flew somewhere and never contact us again. Changed her number, changed her life , left her kid.' 'So you didn't come here to check on me. You came here to say goodbye .........' *Both breaths heavily* 'Yeah' He responds. *I sniff* 'We just .... I don't want you to go. In fact why do you need to go? Just stay here. We could make cupcakes, help my grandma with the cottage, fold laundry together, visit the stable? Its Kansas? *smiles while sniffing* *Chris wipes my tears* Please don't leave me.' He kisses me but on my cheek. He left just like that. I wanted to call him or run to him but I couldn't because I knew he still had to go. I hated him for that but I couldn't. Then, it started to rain.
We went home that night. There was something in my bag and it was his ticket to Texas. It leaves on 11th September at 8.00 p.m. I knew he wanted me to stop him. But some part of me tells that if I stop him. Is he the one? I cried all the way to home. 'Hey Nessa you okay?' I showed her the ticket. 'Is it Chris's?' I didn't answer I just looked out the window. She hugs me. We went home. And it felt different. Everything changed. 'Home sweet home. Nessa? We can do it. As much as the pain grows stronger if you fight it you'll love the pain or hate it more. But right now I really need you.' 'Me too.' 'Nessa! If Chris is going to Texas. Does that mean Crawford is going too?' 'Roni um he ...' 'No its okay. I.... I' She flashes out. I unpacked my luggage. While I was putting my clothes in my dresser I saw the picture frames on my dresser
. There were my family and friends even me and Chris. I can't believe he's leaving. I really miss him to think I was wrong.

He was my everything.
