Caught In Two Worlds

[]Epilogue[]

I fiddled with my fingers and played with my engagement ring nervously. 

"Mom, are you sure?" I questioned, searching her confident grey eyes

She nodded confidently and pulled me in for a tight hug. I sigh and relax in the hug and pull away smiling for support.

"Besides, you have Jack." she says soothingly

"Yeah, I know but with dad gone, and you moving, it's just too much to handle." I sigh, tears welling up in my eyes

She wipes the tears streaming down my face, "I know it's hard honey, but soon you'll have a husband and this house." she says cheerfully

I smiled a sad smile and nodded, "Okay, mom. I fully support you, I hope you know that."

"Thank you," she said happily

My mom grabbed the last suitcase and walked out. I followed her and Jack followed me. She handed the last suitcase to one of the men and he put it in the moving truck. I walked up to her and hugged her one last time. After a moment, Jack barged in screaming 'group hug' to lighten the mood. We all laughed and hugged before Mom had to go. She hops in the truck and looks at us one last time.

"I'll be at your wedding!" she shouts and closes the door

Jack and I laugh as he wraps an arm around me and we both wave goodbye. When the truck was out of sight, Jack looks down at me and smiles softly. I smiled back, leaned in and pecked his lips and head in. Well, at least I got to keep the house. We sit on the couch and watch tv, our dog, Peppy, hopped on and laid with us.

"Babe! No!" she screeched and runs around the house attempting to escape her husband

"Babe, yes!" he imitated as he chases after her, attempting to tickle her

Logan finally catches up to Amber and picks her up and she screams. All he does is chuckle and set her down but sits her on his lap. 

"Alright, alright, no more tickling." he says, defeated

"Good," she smirks as she stands

Logan lowers his head in defeat, then looked up at her smiling, "You're so beautiful, you know that?" 

Amber blushed and kissed her husband's forehead. Logan smiles softly and gets up, grabbing his wife's hands. He dipped her, said 'I love you' and lifts her up again. Amber returned the love as they dance in their room.

The static on the tv was loud, as he flipped through the channels, all he heard was static. He groaned and got up to fix it again. Once it finally started working again, he crashed on the couch and took a sip of his beer. 

"Nick!" his mom shouted

"What!" he whined

"Come upstairs and eat dinner!" she yelled before shutting the basement door

He groaned, threw the beer bottle in the trash pile and reluctantly went upstairs. He sat at the table and his mom set a plate in front of him. He dove in and ate like a pig. His mom watched him in disgust.

"Nick, honey, can you not eat like a slob?" she whined

He just rolled his eyes and kept eating.

"You should lose a few pounds," she muttered

He heard her and glared then shook his head.

"Nick, I think you should get a job, sweetie," she said quietly

He looked up at his mother and stood up, "I'm good," with that, he walked back to his home. The basement.
