Second Chances At Love

8

A few months later..

7:27 a.m.

Spring break! Spring break! Spring break!

We are in March and so far nothing has changed. Jason and I have now been dating for almost 8 months which is beyond crazy to say. He turned 18 a few weeks ago. But in the last 8 months now, it's been the best because I've been the happiest I'd ever been in forever. It's been too long since I've been this happy.

Sophia now has a crush on someone who's not a player. She's like this guy for a few weeks and they've been talking a lot lately over FaceTime and over Xbox. She's been smiling a lot more than she used to.

I still haven't told Mom about Jason and I at homecoming night. It happened over 7 months ago and it's happened again. No, I'm kidding. Maybe. No I'm kidding. We never did it again since then.

Stephanie is now on her spring break which is awesome so I think she's going to Miami as all college people go to on spring break. Jason and I were thinking of going to Tampa for a weekend and go to Busch Gardens.

I honestly can't wait to go to Tampa. I've only went there once in my life. But it'll just the two of us in Tampa.

The best news, I got finally accepted in FSU! I'm now a Seminole. It feels good to be one now soon in August. I want to study psychology. Also, I got on the volleyball team. I made the tryouts! Jason and I are both on a sports team this year. But he's on the most important one.

Jason, sadly, got a scholarship to UCLA for football. I am pretty sad about it, not only because he's thinking of going across the country for college, but because it'll be long distance and we won't see each other.

I'll miss him too much. I try not to cry about it but he's thinking of going. I want him to go and chase his dreams of being a football player. I don't want to stop him from doing that.

One of the colleges he actually wanted to go to was FSU but UCLA is bigger and better for him, I think. I don't know, when he told me the news, I was sad. Really sad. I try not to think about it but we've talked about it before.

I'll try not to think about it in Tampa..

Beep!

Jason: Pack up baby girl! I'll be there soon.

Me: Yay! Okay!

I ran to my closet and grabbed my bathing suit, camera, phone, and extra clothes, and my teddy bear to snuggle with. I didn't really need anything to go but I still took a bag with me.

Ding! Dong!

He was quick! Oh my gosh. I ran to the door and there he was in his little tank top and bermuda shorts with his sunglasses. Straight up looks like a guy in Hawaii.

"Babe, we're going to Tampa, not Hawaii," I joked.

"I know. But I'm stupid."

I gave him a kiss.

"You're not stupid. Stop saying that."

"I have to tell you something in the car, though," he said.

Ohh boy..

"Mom! I'm leaving," I shouted.

"Okay. Have fun and be safe!" she said.

"Wait!" Sophia yelled.

She ran to me and gave me a hug. "Have fun and buy me a t-shirt."

"I will," I told.

We walked outside and in the car. Road trip for the next 6 ½ hours.
