You Again (Completed) ✔️

Cole's POV from Chapters 20-22

After the talk I had with Julia I feel much better and believe that we can move forward from the stuff I did when I was younger.

I just hope that I don't do anything to ruin it in the next couple of days.

I pull the car into the driveway or her house. I park the car before pulling the keys out of the ignition. "Your Mom is going to be happy that I'm here. Every time we ask her to make pizza I help her."

Julia is quiet as I told her that and I can see that she's thinking something, but I can't put my finger on what it would be.

I step out of the car and say. "I'll get you door." Rounding the car I open the door for her.

She picks up her bag from the floor before stepping out. "Thanks, Cole." She walks pass me and heads to the front door and opens it.

I close the door and lock it before entering the house. As I approach the kitchen I hear Mrs. Harris say. "Where Cole?"

"He's in his way." Julia says, as I enter the rom. She looks at everyone and says. "I didn't kill him..." whispering she says. "This time."

That's not nice.

Veronica laugh and all our attention turns to her. "What?" She asks.

Liam pulls her into his side. "What were you laughing at?"

She looks at Julia before shrugging. "Nothing," Veronica changes the subject by saying. "Mrs. Harris I heard you make the best pizzas around. Is there any chance you can show me how to make it?"

Mrs. Harris looks at Julia. "If Julia is fine with it then I'll let you help."

Julia doesn't look too happy about it, but because the type of person she is. She puts her feelings aside and says to Veronica. "It's fine. I'm going to go for a walk. Can someone call me when dinner is ready?" She grabs her phone and walks out of the house.

I help Mrs. Harris pull out all the ingredients for dinner and I start slicing the capsicum, onions, tomatoes, Danish salami for her.

She prepares the base with Veronica's help. She looks at me and says. "I remember the first time Julia helped me make pizza. She tried to flip the base over and it hit her head."

Veronica and I laugh at hearing what Julia was like the first time she made pizza with her Mom.

I wish she was here making it with us now, but I think I scared her away by telling her that it's one of my fav things to do with Mrs. Harris.

Looking up I see Julia walk into the kitchen. "Are you okay, Julia?"

"I'm fine." She places a letter on the table and says. "Dad gave this to me before he left me at the park."

"Okay," I roll the pin back and forth over the dough that's on the table. "Do you want to talk about what was written in it?"

She shakes her head. "Not right now, Cole. I need time to process everything I read. You're not going to believe who I ran into at the park."

I stop rolling the dough and look at her. "Who was there?"

"Georgie,"

Great! She's back in town. It's been years since I heard her name said around town.

The last I heard about her was she was getting an abortion after falling pregnant to someone she was with during a gang bang.

Veronica stops what she's doing and says. "The girl that ditched you because of him?"
