Framing Our Forever

Chapter 21 - My Other Half

What do you do when you're completely bored and don't have a boyfriend to do anything? Go shopping, duh! Besides, I needed some new clothes for winter. I had spent the last three hours getting rid of last season's clothes and put them into the auction pile. Every April my parents hold this auction and we sell clothes, paintings, and other items and all the money goes to charity. It's a lot of fun. So you see I'm not a total selfish person, I give back to others.

I told Miranda that I was going to go shopping and I planned to back in a few hours. Then she gave me a shopping list for Lush and Chanel. Then I got her credit card and she told me to use it for all of my things too. I love no max credit cards...

"Thank you for shopping at Lush," the lady at the register said with a big smile. Yeah of course you have a big smile, I just bought $600 worth of merchandise at your store.

"Lauren?" I heard a deep voice ask from behind me as I walked out of the store. Matt. He walked up to me and pulled my head to his and I just stood there. He's kissing me...

"What are you doing?" I questioned pushing him away from me.

"We really need to talk Lauren," he said and I replied okay. We walked to the food court and got drinks at Starbucks. After sitting down at a table, we started talking about us and what happened.

He wasn't lying when he said they weren't hooking up, I know that. I just didn't know why he didn't go after me. Why he didn't fight for me to stay. All of those questions were answered. He just didn't know I wanted him to.

I missed him so much but at the same time I didn't trust him as I used to. It was the hardest decision I've had to make in my life, and who knows if it's the right one. I forgave him and there's no going back now, right?

After everything we had talked about settled in, I felt more comfortable about forgiving him. Maybe I did overreact a little and didn't hear the whole story.

I was just so glad we were together again, he's my other half...
