Forever You and I (Lesbian Story - COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

Sonya

Christmas break is already here. It's crazy how quickly it's come. It seems like it was just yesterday that I started school. I've been spending a lot of time doing some school work. I'm not complaining, though, I'm absolutely loving it. Adam Parks has been really great at helping me get set up and he caught me all up in what I've fallen behind on during the first part of the semester. Now I've gotten into the flow of school.

It's nice to be able to go to campus with Coley too, since she's still taking her courses. She's really been thinking of applying full time for next semester. We've been talking about her possible career choices. Sure, she's narrowed them down a while back when she first started taking courses, she's really interested in English and Writing, and really wants to publish something.

After everything that's happened, I don't really think we've been able to actually think about our futures, and careers. I'm kind of set on becoming a filmmaker, but I don't think Coley fully knows what she wants to do, and that's okay. She's happy with taking these courses to get her footing. Especially with being in a different city, and a big one at that. I would hate for her to feel overwhelmed.

I'm sitting at the kitchen island, my laptop open in front of me. I've been trying to work on a project for over two hours, but I can't seem to get in the right headspace to focus. Coley and Maddie have gone out to do a bit of groceries. Considering it's a Saturday and busy, they've been gone all afternoon.

I sigh, pushing myself off the chair and walking into the kitchen to grab a glass of juice. I open the refrigerator, and frown at the minimal amount of juice left in the container. It'll have to do.

I grab the container, and close the door, making my way to the cupboard and grabbing a glass. After pouring the juice and chugging it, I place the empty glass in the dishwasher, and throw out the container.

I sigh again. Fuck, I'm bored, I think to myself. I think of something that I need to do. I'm tired of doing theory, maybe I can get some filmmaking done. I do have a video project that I need to do for one of my classes.

I exit the kitchen and go into Coley and I's bedroom, grabbing my camera from the closet, as well as the tripod. I head back to the kitchen and grab my laptop, before settling down in the living room.

I set up the tripod and my camera, before opening up my laptop, and checking the guidelines of the assignment. It's only due in a couple of week, so I haven't even looked at it yet.

Reading through it, I get intrigued. Video blogging, or otherwise known as "vlogging." Your task is simple, film a five-minute long "vlog" about any subject or topic you want. Be creative! Use artistic editing and have fun. Worth twenty marks of final grade.

Hmm. This is a very interesting project. I think of a couple ideas. Some vloggers record their day-to-day lives, and others just sit in front of a camera and discuss stuff. I think I'm going to use the latter approach. Now I just need to think of something to say.

I adjust the camera so that it's facing me correctly, and press the record button. I settle back down onto the couch and stare blankly into the camera. This is awkward. What the fuck do I say.

I blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. "Dear mom and dad."

Oh god, where am I going with this."It's been a really long while, a few months, since I talked to you."

I take a deep breath, taking my eyes away from the lens for a moment. I can do this. "A lot has happened in that time. I'm not too sure if you guys care or not." I return my gaze to the camera. "I wish you did."
