My Life Is Different

Chapter Thirty-Three

It's crazy to think that over the past few weeks Jake and I have been through hell and back, and we're still together. Through all the good times like having time together just thinking about our future to the bad where he made a mistake we've stuck together. I guess it's just a different couple would've been over through the first down but not us I guess our love is rare.

My love for him is stronger than anything in the world and I know he loves me more than anything in the world. Through each down, we conquered together, through each up we were side by side. I see a future with this kid, a future I can't see with anyone else but him. My life is different now, and it's all because of a boy named Jake Thomas and I wouldn't trade it for anything I am truly in love with this boy and no one else.

We're finally home the bus is unpacked and the workers have finally finished our house since the storm it's a little bigger but it still won't beat our first house even though we told them to build it exactly like the last one. I'm in my room getting ready for the studio. I'm wearing denim shorts with a white t-shirt something plain and simple I really didn't feel like dressing up. I just finished my make-up when my door opened. I saw Maria standing in the door-way,

"Yes sweetie?" I asked with a smile

"You have a big house I couldn't find you"

"All you had to do was yell"

She was watching me look at myself in the mirror

"Maria come here"

She walked over and stood in front of me, both of us looking in the mirror,

"How did you get stuck underneath that bush?"

"I crawled under there because I was scared"

"How'd you get in the woods?"

I know this might bring up memories that shouldn't be brought up but I need to know,

"I was with my old parents they told me to go hide while they counted" she said "I waited and waited for them to find me but they never did"

"How long were you hiding?"

"I don't know but I got to play in the snow"

I nodded "she's been out there for about a year"

A tear ran down the side of my face at the thought of her hiding and waiting patiently for someone to find her. Her olive skin tone is much cleaner than it was when I found her, also her brown hair is less tangled and dirty but her blue eyes is what takes my breath away they are just beautiful. Baylor came in and she smiled, her and Baylor have become close she loves him so much and he's became very protective of her. I noticed she still has on the clothes from the Tucker's.

I went into my closet and got out her white dress with a black bow and her black heels. Jake and I did some shopping for her which she enjoyed. After I gave her a bath she put on her dress and the shoes I ran a brush through her hair and dried it using the towel to get some of the dampness off since it's still a little cold. I put a white headband in her hair. She looked in the mirror and then turned to look at me,

"Am I pretty?"

I smiled "beautiful"

I wrapped my arms around her tiny body

"Where are we going?"

"To mommy and daddy's job"

"Ok" she said with a smile

"Think I'm going to get more security"

I saw Jake standing in the doorway he's wearing a red t-shirt with black jeans and gold Supras and a black snapback
