It's My Life

Chapter 20 - Last Chapter

It has been three years since I graduated high school. Jake and I are still dating and Chloe and I are still besties. Everything was going perfect! Until today!

Peter was making lunch. I walked in and sat down at the dinner table.

"Carrie, can I tell you something?" he said.

"Of course!" I exclaimed.

"Look. this isn't going to be easy but -"

"But what?" I interrupted.

"We're moving to Australia!"

"What?" I yelled.

"I got a job there, so we're moving! Look your 20 now! You have to understand!" he said.

"No! I don't want to move. My friends are here. I didn't go to college because I didn't want to be seperated from them!" I screamed.

"I know but we have to!" he said calmy

I got up, went into my room and shut the door. I dialed up Jake and told him to meet me for ice cream. I needed to break the news. I'd already called Chloe and told her. She started crying and complaining. I did the same. I changed into a casual purple top, blue shorts and sandals. I saw my reflection. Angry!

I rushed out of the house without saying goodbye to Peter. I just didn't want to face him!

"WHAT!?!?!?!?"

I quickly explained to Jake everything my brother had told me. He looked terrified at the thought of losing me. I felt the exact same way.

"No, you can't leave!" he said grabbing my hand.

"I don't want to but my brother is making me! I want to be here with you more than anything!" I cried. Tears started running down my cheeks and I tried to wipe them away.

"Stay with me, forever!" he said.

"How?" I pleaded.

"Marry me!"

"What?" I exlaimed.

He took out a white box and opened the lid. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring.

"Jake! Oh my god! I -"

"Can't?" he interrupted.

"No!"

He perked up.

"I will!" I exclaimed.

I gave him my hand and he put the ring on it. It was official. I was going to marry Jake.

Jake drove me back home. We both got out and went inside my house.

"Peter!" I called out.

"Yeah?" he said from the lounge.

We both went in the lounge and saw Peter packing.

"There you are! Come on! Get packing!" he said.

Jake and I looked at each. I had to do this.

"Peter, I want to marry Jake!"

"What!?!?!" he yelled.

"Look I'm old enough to make my own decisions! I love Jake and I wanna spend my life with him as long as possible!"

Peter looked at us both, then at the ring I was wearing. His eyes widened. He looked back at us and smiled.

"You have my blessing!" he said.

I ran over to him and hugged him. I was going to marry Jake! This was the best day ever!

*****

Peter was gone to work in Australia. We sold the house as none of us would be living there anymore. It was a half a year later. Jake and I were officially married. We lived together in a comfortable home and had three kids who were triplets. Loud, messy but we were still happy. The decision I had made a month ago had change my life forever. I'm glad I get to spend every second and every single day with the one I love. Like in all the fairytails, we lived happily ever after.
