- a year later.
a year has passed and I can truly say that I'm happy and pleased with the way that things are going. I proposed to jc and we're gonna get married later on in the year, so I'm excited for that and we also had a discussion about bringing a child into our lives, but neither of us are ready for that kind of 24/7 commitment to another human being, so we're gonna hold off on that for a couple of years.
After all of the drama with Meredith had died down, Jc and I took a long vacation to work out our problems and just so that we could get away from our parents who still to this day seems to only care about what other people think of them, that's kind of played out to me right about now.
we moved into our own mansion and we were doing fine on our own and by own, I mean by our parents actually paying our bills for us and who are we to turn them down when they insisted on doing this? and besides, they owe us this much, especially after that contract bull shit that they pulled. I haven't seen Meredith every since that day that she got in her car and drove off, but I heard that she was engaged to Neels and they were having a baby, so I guess she's doing well and she's NOT in jail for running an illegal business, so good for her.

"BABY, YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!!!" I stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched as jc ran out of the bathroom and down the stairs, "what time is it?" he looked down at his wrist to see that he wasn't even wearing a watch. I grabbed him and stood him in front of me. "7:30." I fixed his tie and his hair. He has a job interview and he can't be late for this, we need this more than anything. He doesn't like the fact that our parents are paying our bills and I guess he has a right to feel that way, it's all about his pride. "I love you." he kissed me and before I could say anything back he ran out of the door, "love you too."

*hour later*
"Mom, I'm really not interested in moving back in with you. We've been over this for the 54th time, like LITERALLY 54 times and I've given you the same answer and you just won't give up, why is that?"
"because you're my baby and I miss having the both of you around this house, why can't you just come stay a week and then you can go back home."
There's no way that I'm gonna go stay with her. The best I can possibly do is visit my parents, but there's nothing else that I can or will do to please them. I just have to make my own decisions. "I'll come visit you as soon as jc gets home, but I will NOT stay." I hung up the phone and put it on the charger. I love my mother, but she can be extremely annoying. No means no and I wish that she would just accept that as an answer.
I was in my thoughts when the doorbell decided to ring. "what does lia want now?" Lia lived around the corner from us and she was always coming over trying to borrow things and stay the night. I have no problem with it, she entertains the both of us and we kind of need that around here.
I ran over to the door and I looked out of the glass, her face wasn't visible, but her blonde ass hair was. I unlocked the door, "lia, do you know what time of the morning it is?" I peeked from behind the door and I just froze at who was standing there.. It wasn't lia and It wasn't jc
"meredith..."
"hi-hi kian." she waved, but the look on her face wasn't happy. She was beaten & bruised.
