Chapter nine
Moving on was not the easiest thing but maybe deep down I knew that I could never move on from you because the hope was bigger than the hate for you.
°°°
The hardest part about moving on is probably the part where you are not allowed to see the one you want to move on from. It is not that you can't see the person but it is easier to not see the person again since you don't remember all the parts you like about a person so badly. For Arden it was never easy to move on with her life since every single thing that happened to her in her life was as little as it could be, her parents were enjoying their time off and made sure to call her once a month to hear if everything was okay with her.
"Arden my little princess how are you doing? Your sister told me that you have been on dates lately, is there maybe a special guy in your life that you would love to tell to your old mom here?" Arden stared at the rings around her fingers making sure that the things she would say will be with a normal voice and not one where she doesn't know how to stop crying about it, she knew it has been a few weeks since she had last heard or seen Shawn but Quincy said he was being normal to her what made her feel more sad than she already was.
"It is nothing mom, he didn't like me as much as I liked him but that is okay I just need to move on and meet up with other guys and see which one is good for me and will treat me right. Also don't tell dad about this or he comes to me and have some good words with that guy and I don't really need that right now." It took her a few seconds to put on her clothes while her mom was walking to another place so her father couldn't hear her talking about guys.
"I know you probably don't want to tell me this because I know you but I need you to know that I am here for you and will help you as much as I can. Do you want me to tell you the story about me meeting your dad? You know what I am just going to tell you it before you make me change my mind here with changing the subject to me as you always do." Arden had her phone on speaker so she could walk around in her room and clean it up hearing her mom tell the story she has heard so many times in her life.
"Your dad didn't see me standing there at that party until one random idiot threw up over me and I had to change the clothes I was wearing and since I didn't know any person at that party I went to the first person next to me and that was your dad who was talking to another girl who was way prettier than me. But at that moment I didn't really care about how I looked since I could only think about new clothes and some warm bath so when he gave me a hoodie of him that was way too long for me I actually saw him, like really saw him." Arden held a big hoodie in front of her and threw it out of her room making sure she had nothing here in her room that would give her sad memories.
"He had those amazing eyes that you have to, you can get lost in them when you are staring at them a bit too long and that is what I did. I stared at him a bit too long and the only thing he could do was smile at me with that one smile he only gives me, I don't know how to describe that smile but he has a different one for the people he loves. He has that special smile when he looks at you guys too and all I could think of at that moment was how lucky I was to be in front of such a good looking guy who saw me too. Even to I wasn't the most prettiest girl walking around in that room, he had his eyes only at me from that moment." Arden looked at the picture in front of her of her dad holding her close to his body while Quincy was hugging his leg making him laugh a bit more.
