I guess you could say my life flew by in a breeze, because I’m now at Stanford University. I still finished at the top of my class and was able to get into the school of my dreams to follow my path and become a biologist.I didn’t talk to my mother that much anymore, well, we didn’t talk how we used to. She was still with Johnathan, and he was now an old drunk, his art business failed miserably and instead of kicking the man to the curb, she is there supporting his nasty lifestyle.As for me and Aaron, we didn’t talk anymore mostly because he wanted me to keep the baby and I was just not ready yet to be a mother. I was a child, and I don’t believe a child should raise another child.My mother didn’t want me to keep the baby either and if I had, I wouldn’t have been able to finish high school or be where I am now three years after.Aaron had contacted me only once since the day we both left high school. I think he was drunk when he sent me that message at two am. I was shocked that he

"I was engaged," I began, but Christina rudly cut me off."What do you mean was engaged?" She asked with a laugh.I ignored her. "Was name was Kirk, I met him when I just started college. He was older than me, just about to graduate, and I guess you can call it love at first sight. That's how I felt, and he felt the same because after six months of dating, he proposed to me."I sighed. "Sadly, he passed away a few weeks later." My voice cracked. "He was killed in a car accident. It was the day after Thanksgiving, and some drunk driver in an eighteen wheeler ran the stoplight. He and his friend died on the spot.""Then I met Henry the researcher a year after and thought that I could get back out there! But Henry never believed in my dreams. He put himself and his needs over me all the time!""We broke up because he got a job offer in England to do some sort of excavation. He accepted without me in mind and wanted me to drop out of school. When I refused to do that and make such a big m

Aaron moved closer to me, and I took a step back. I couldn't allow myself or him to go back down that path and fall back into that hole. Besides, he had someone now, and I didn't want to be the reason a relationship end. Aaron reached out and began to caress my cheek. I thought he would have kissed me, and honestly, I didn't know if I wanted that. It would have just opened me up to a world of hurt. I wasn't fully over him and I didn't want to fall down into that hole again. He moved closed, and I could feel his warm breath on me. I took a step back. ''Aaron, we can't do this.'' ‘’You're right, we can't do this. Ever again.’’ “Yes, never again.'' I saw Jolie entering where we were, and it was a good thing I stopped whatever was about to happen. I had no idea how she would react to seeing me kissing my stepbrother. She gave a smile. ‘’Finally, I found you guys. I was looking all over for you two. Anyway. We are getting ready to go to the cemetery. Are you two up for it?’’ I nod

Aaron was the one to bring Jolie to the airport and for whatever reason, I didn’t go to sleep until he came home. I was sitting in the living room when the door was pushed open.‘’What are you doing up?’’ He asked.‘’It’s only 10pm, and I don’t feel like sleeping.’’‘’Well, I’m going to bed.’’ Aaron paused on the stairs. ‘’I don’t even know why I stayed, I should have left, it’s not like Johnathan would even think of me in his will.’’I said nothing, because truly there was nothing to say, and I had no place in Aaron’s life anymore, so it made no sense to even give my thoughts. Besides, he had Jolie now, he could vent to her about his problems.Maybe if Aaron and I hadn’t messed around in the pass, Jolie and I could have been friends. She seems like a sweet girl, and the type of person I could tell everything to.‘’good night, Mia,’’ Aaron’s voice came, and I had no idea he was still there.I didn’t reply, instead I focused on the movie that was playing, acting as if I didn’t stay up

I just want to say thank you to the readers of this book. A few of you saw my mistake and instead of commenting things on the chapters, you messaged me and told me about it. You are too kind, but the mistakes are all fixed now. #I was mixing past tense and present tense too much in the story. #I didn't remember my characters' names. #Jumped too far ahead in the story. Lol, but a lot of it is fixed now, and if you see anymore errors, don't be afraid to point them out. Stay saucy. :-) Don't don't be afraid to leave a few reviews and gems, it helps me to improve on my writing.
