Birthday Girl // e.d

chapter 2

"aspen? what the hell are you doing back?" i screech, dropping my bag and shoes, then throwing my arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"hey little sis, it's been awhile huh?" he laughs, hugging me back. "i've missed my little bella bug."

i pull away and lightly smack him on the shoulder. "don't call me that." i roll my eyes, which just causes him to laugh, and grab my stuff, and head into the kitchen. he closes the door and follows me in.

"why are you back from college so soon? school just started. is everything okay?" i ask, slightly worried.

"ehhhh, i don't know sis, i don't think college is really for me." he scratches his head and looks away. "i'm moving back home i think." he shrugs

my eyes widen, as i gape at him. "you are so screwed, dad's gonna kill you when he finds out." i walk over to the fridge and open it, looking around inside. i reach in and pull out a bowl of strawberries, popping on in my mouth. aspen reaches for one but i jerk the bowl away and shake my head.

"you can eat when you tell me what the hell is up." i glare at him and lean against the counter, eating another strawberry.

he rolls his eyes. "i don't know bella, i just hate this stupid business program that dad made me do, it's not what i want to do, its never been what i've wanted to do. you know that. i want to be a physical therapist." he runs his hands through his hair. "i just don't know what to do."

i quietly hand him the bowl of strawberries. "well, why don't you change your program without dad knowing? he won't know. i mean, come on, he's in fucking australia, he'll never know."

"you think that would work?" he asks, unsure.

"hell yeah, it's never to late to make a decision that can change your life." i smile and wink at him.

he smiles. "speaking of late, aren't gonna be late for school?" he asks.

i look at the clock on my phone. "shit! i am so late." i rush to the door, quickly pulling on my shoes and tying them. "bye bro, love you." i call out.

"bye bug, love you too. oh, by the way." he leans around the corner. "i'd close the curtains next time you get dressed, i got a good look. we dont need some creepers seeing you, okay?"

i look away, embarrassed. "yeah, yeah, bye." i open the door, getting ready to leave, when Aspen calls out again. "oh, happy birthday."

"Thanks!" i say, shutting the door behind me then rush to my car.

i pull open the door of my little red pick up truck, throw my bag in the back, and pull out, driving myself to school.
