Chapter 44

Two Years Later

I'm home for Christmas, I haven't seen my family in two years they asked me multiple times why can't I come. I know they miss me I miss them as well it's been a hard couple of years getting used to the college life I guess, I have seen or spoken to Brian since I saw him before my graduation. I kinda stalk his social media once in a while he finish med school and is apparently an intern at SGMW

as I drive to my parents house I get butterflies in my stomach thinking they are going to hate me I pull into the driveway seeing both of their cars in the driveway, I get out of my rental car and grab my luggage out of the backseat I walk up to the front door should I knock or just walk in. I knock on the door a few second later I see my mother she looks at me "surprise?" I said

She pulls me into a hug "you're home" she cried, I looked behind her and saw my dad staring at me smiling

"I missed you, I'm sorry I didn't come home sooner" I said releasing myself from her grip

"It doesn't matter you are here now" she guided me into the house taking my luggage

"Where's the brats?" I asked

"Probably in the backyard" dad answered

"I can't believe how much they've grown, I missed them a lot" I told them

Three kids ran into the room "Sarah" they yelled in unison and ran up to me to give me a huge hug

"Zo, Elli, bails you've grown so much" I hugged them back

"I missed you" Zola told me, she's ten now

"Where have you been?" Bailey asked me, he just turned eight

"Don't leave again" Ellis gave me the biggest hug again, shes six wow

"I'm here until after New Years then I have to get back to school, this summer I will be back and I promise this time okay" I told them, their smiles widened

"Pinky promise?" Zola held out her pinky, I intertwined mine with hers

"Pinky promise" I told her

"Sarah, your father and I have something to tell you" mom said

"What is it? You aren't moving because dad didn't build this house for nothing" i said, they laughed

"No, um we invited the hillsday over for tonight for Christmas. They've been coming over for every holiday since you left for college" my dad told me, my whole world went crashing down I'd have to face Brian tonight

"Is um. He going to be here as well" I asked

"We don't know, he didn't come the first or second year of holidays so he is probably not going to" mom said, I took a breath

"Okay, um that makes things slightly better" I said sitting back down

"He probably won't be here, just be happy that you get to see us" dad then said, I smiled slightly

"I'm going to my room I'll see you at dinner" I said bringing my luggage to my room, I redid my whole room before I went to university

A few hours later I left my room and I was greeted by Lexie "oh my god" she smiled

I hugged her tightly "I missed you" I told her

"I missed you more" she said back, I let go of her and walked into the living room as I walked in the hillsday's also walking in through the front door and right behind them is Brian

I looked at him, he has changed he got a small beard now. He looks better then he did 2 years ago we locked eyes, I looked away and went over to my little sister

"Hey elli, what are you doing?" I asked her

"I'm drawing a picture for you, I didn't get you anything for Christmas" she told me

"You don't have to get me anything anyways sweetie" I told her

"Dinner time" my mom said throughout the house

I tried to sit the furthest from Brian but of course he sat right next to me "can we talk afterwards" he said for only me to here

"why" I asked him

"I need to talk to you, apologize please Sarah" he begged

"Fine" I gave in, I shouldn't have but I did

After dinner ended and present giving I went into my room unravel everything, a knock at my door "come in" and walked in brian

"can we talk now" he asked closing the door behind him

I nodded, he sat at the couch by my window "listen, I regret everything I said that day. I should've been more accepting of your decision I could tell how much you wanted to go and I should've fought more for you obviously for us as well these past two years were hell for me after our conversation I wanted to just run back in and hold you to tell you I'm sorry but I didn't, I was a coward then and after you left for Boston I almost booked so many flights just to see you and I didn't, honestly I have no idea why I didn't just go up to see you even though I missed you like hell. Sarah I love you so much please forgive" he told me

I wasn't expecting that at all "I should apologize as well, I didn't mean to say those words after you left and I missed you as well. When I went to Boston I thought I was going to restart I actually haven't been home since I left" I told him

"Did you not come home because of me?" He asked

"No, god no. if that was the truth I wouldn't be here right now, I didn't come back because I felt good I felt okay I didn't want to burst my Boston bubble. something inside of me told me to come home and I think it was telling me to come home to see you" I smiled, he smiled back

"Are we okay now?" He asked

"Yeah, we are okay" I got up and hugged him, hugging him after 2 years it feels nice but I don't think we could get back together anytime soon

"How long are you here for?" He asked me letting go of my body

"January 12th then it's back to Boston" I said

"do you think we could do anything together? I mean I'm an intern so I can't really give a time but you could come up to the hospital" he mentioned

"I guess I could give time for you" I joked

"Friends?" I said, his smile frowned a little bit at that word

"Getting friendzoned by the girl you like isn't something a guy wants to hear" he said

"Sorry, I'm not ready to get back into the whole relationship era yet" I said honestly

"I will wait for you"
