Everything Changes

Chapter 4

Adam Jones

I just said goodbye to the only girl I've ever loved. I'm letting her go to paris with Thomas, well, because she loves him not me. I just need to move on, and find another girl. Then I wouldn't have her on my mind as much. "Hey Adam!" it was Andrea. "hey" I said slowly. "can I tell you something? " she asked. "Um yeah sure.". "I like you.. A lot. It's okay if u don't like me back but...". Well here's my chance to move on from Katie. "yes. I'll go out with you." I smirked. "really!! Great! But the only thing is that we can't tell Katie till she gets back from Paris. Okay?" "deal".

Graduation Day

Katie Atwood

" We will all miss every single one of you! And we hope you have a wonderful life. Good luck out there! Be careful, and stay safe. Please give your round of applause for Harrison High School's Class of 2014!" Once they said that everyone flung their hats In the air and couples started to kiss. Specially Katie and Thomas. Most kids were jumping around and laughing and being happy! Then there are the sad ones that are more sad than me freaking out because the hobbit was sold out. Everyone was piling out of the gym and we got stopped by a couple people asking us if we're having a party before we leave.

Well I didn't really want one and we're leaving in a couple weeks, so there's not a lot of time anyways. Once I leave the crowd and find myself alone, I walk to my locker. I stare at it for a few minutes,then I grab my neon backpack, my favorite books, and all the stuff that belongs to me. Such as my posters, cards people made for me, paperwork, and the rest of it. Once I was done I shut my locker closed and headed to my car. On the way home I was thinking to myself, Do I actually want to do this? Is this what I really want? ...yes! It is because I love him and there's no place better to study photography! ... I'm going to miss Adam tho. I sighed, stopped thinking, and I turned on the radio and the song "Wake me up when september ends" by Green Day came on.

Thomas Beckmann

I can't believe in three days I'll be in Paris with my love. Wait, is this really what she wants? Is this even what I want? Yes! Because we love each other, Nd want to spend time together. I thought. "Katie, it's getting late and I need to pack for Friday." I whispered in her ear. She stood up and pulled me up with her.

She kissed me and barely let me breathe but let go and snuggled into a hug. "I love you." she cried. ". I love you more.". "I love you most." she replied. We stood there hugging for a bit longer, then she let go of me. I locked my eyes on to hers and smiled. I released her grasp, and went out the door. Well, we technically leave in two days. And I can't wait. I got in my car and drove off. When I got home I ran up to my room and started to pack but fell asleep while doing that.

Katie Atwood

Today's the day we leave.. Adam already came. He spent the night with me, and I cried literally the whole night because I'm leaving him. Mom and dad got a goodbye cake, Andrea came today but had to catch her plane to California. So it was Adam, mom an dad, and of course, Thomas. I'm so not ready to leave. But apparently they are. Adam just left because he had to get to the airport to get to Florida. Mom helped me pack the rest while dad gave Thomas a beer. Great. He's definitely not driving to the airport.

When I got done packing I wanted to be alone so I led my mom out of the room for a couple minutes. After I was done thinking to myself, I stood up, looked around my room, then grabbed my suitcases and left. As I drove us to the airport, it was silent. "Babe, you sure you want to do this?" He asked turning towards me. No.. I don't.. "Of course I do! I love you and I want to spend time with you and what's better than studying photography in Paris with my boyfriend?!" I said sarcastically. But the great thing is that he didn't hear my sarcasm. He smiled and kissed my hand.

We got to the airport and got out. I grabbed my suitcase and my purse and started to walk. Thomas caught up and held my hand in a firm grasp. I finally doing it. I'm gonna be free. I'm going to Paris with my love. And there's no going back. I love him, not Adam. I smiled as I thought this. When we got inside we sat down. Our flight is in 45 minutes. I sat down next to Thomas and laid my head on his shoulder. I put my beats on and put on the song waiting for superman by daughtry. I guess Thomas was listening too because he started to sing it to me. It was pretty cute.

It was time to board the plane. I always have the window seat and Thomas knows that. I put my beats back on and listened to music. Thomas put his headphones in and fell asleep. I never fall asleep on airplanes. It was four hours into our flight and we still had three to go. The sunset was beautiful, Escpecially when you're above the clouds. I almost couldn't believe that I'm doing this!

" We will be landing in about five minutes, so please get ready for landing, and thank you for flying with us." the attendant said over the inercom.

I got up and grabbed my backpack, Thomas was waiting down the aisle for me. When i got to him he grabbed my hand in a strong but not hurting grasp. We wait to grab our bags, and then call for a car. Mom and dad bought us a huge house for the two years of being here. He's getting a job while I go to classes during the week. I start to unpack my things into the dressers in the master bedroom, but I sit down on the edge of the bed instead.

I started to daze as I thought , This is Where Life Begins.
