She’s aware yes but I think it’s you she’s coming to visit”.Eh?My aunt Claire and I didn’t have a bad relationship but there was no reason for her to visit me. We weren’t that close even though she was my mom’s sister. I didn’t bother asking anymore questions on the matter. I would wait and see what she had to say.The waiter brought our food out and everyone began eating. It wasn’t as awkward as before, but I could still feel the tension in the air. It was none of my business and I shouldn’t get involved but I hated seeing him this way. I hated seeing them both look so unhappy.“Are you two going to sort your shit out?”. Jake asked.Looks like he bet me to it.“Jake”. Alanna warned.“He has a point Alanna”. I added.“Did you know she doesn’t want to come with me”. Carter spoke.“I never said that”. Alanna huffed. “Don’t twist my words”.And here we go.“You said you don’t want to leave”. He made a face. “It’s the same thing”.“I’m not doing this”. She whispered as she got to her fe

“Great you guys are fighting because of me. Woohoo”. She groaned.“We’re not fighting”. I huffed. “But Jake’s right you need to talk to Carter. He needs to know how you feel about this big move”.“Fine, okay, but don’t be surprised if I turn up here tonight with my sleeping bag”.“You won’t”.After she left, I made my way upstairs and into our bedroom. We weren’t fighting and I was going to make sure he knew that. Hearing the water running from the shower I stripped out of my clothes and opened the bathroom door.“Room for one more?”. I asked.Euphoria.Every inch of my body was satisfied. I was completely and utterly in love with him. Sex in the shower was a first for me. I felt the heat flare over my cheeks as it played over in my mind. I don’t know where I got the confidence from to shower with him.The closeness of our bodies, our skin touching, the gentle touch of his hand. A shiver rocked its way through my body as I let out a shaky breath. Our sex was always good but that sex,

“You need to tell him how you feel”.“I can’t”. She shook her head. “I’m going to suck it up and support him. I’m going to do what I need to do”.“You’ll be miserable”.“Maybe”. She shrugged. “But at least he’ll have his title back”.She couldn’t do all this just for Carter. She had to want it as much as he does, and she doesn’t. She doesn’t want to leave her home her family which is understandable.But they wouldn’t last if she wasn’t honest with him.“You need to tell him how you feel. He might surprise you and tell you he doesn’t want to go”. That was my wishful thinking.“Yeah right”. She made a face. “If I bring it up it’ll cause an argument and that’s the last thing I want. He’s already in a bad enough mood as it is”.“Let me talk to him. I won’t mention a thing but let me see where his heads at”.“See where who’s heads at?”. Jake asked.“I swear I’m putting a bell around your neck”. Sometimes I could hear him and sense him and other times I couldn’t.“Who are you two talking ab

“Yeah. Are you going to your mom’s tomorrow?”. I wanted to know if they had been invited to.“It’ll be to talk about graduation”.“What about it?”. I frowned.“They’ll want to know what gift they should get you or if you prefer money”.Eh?“Shut up”. I made a face.“I’m being serious. I’ve opted for money because I’m leaving”.“I don’t want a gift”. I didn’t want to sound rude, but I didn’t need a gift because I was graduating from school.“You have to. They’ll be so offended if you don’t let them give you something. It’s a tradition in our family. Jakes Ferrari. Yeah, that was his graduation gift”.He got a car for graduating high school.Money talks and it seemed they had a lot of it.Was buying graduation gifts a thing? I know she just said it was tradition in their family but come on. It was a little much was it not.“I don’t need anything, and I won’t accept money”. I didn’t need money not after what my gran left me.“Suit yourself”. She shrugged. “But you know what my mom’s like

“He’s not here so I don’t know”.“I’d ask for it to be taken down. He won’t like that it’s on there”.Was she serious right now? It was a freaking photo and a nice one at that. If Jake wasn’t happy about it, then tough. There was no need for the green-eyed monster to make an appearance.“I’m not going to do that and why are you so worried?”. I asked.It was like treading on eggshells. Everyone always afraid of what he was going to be like. Yes, he wasn’t very good at controlling his anger and he took most of it out on them but come on. It was time to stop being afraid of him.“Eh because he’s like a ticking timebomb when you argue. None of us ever know who he’s going to take it out on”.“We’re not arguing”.“Yet. You’re not arguing yet. Can I come over?”.Wait, was she already in her car?“Yeah, sure. Doors open”.As soon as I hung up, I called Jake. We weren’t going to argue about this because there was nothing to argue about. We were past all that.“Hey baby”. He answered. “You, oka

I had to make right with the girls. Graduation was in two days, and I wanted us all to be together. To share that last high school moment, to finish with a bang and on a high.“Call them”.I jumped as his arms circled my waist and he placed a kiss on the top of my head. I finished washing the last dish and placed it on the draining board. It’s not that we weren’t talking I was just sick of the petty arguments between them.I swear you wouldn’t think they were friends at all.“We graduate in two days”. I turned to face him.“Lana’s graduating?”. He frowned. “I thought she didn’t go to school?”.“She’s not and she didn’t but I’m sure she’ll still be there”. I always thought we would graduate together but Lana had other ideas. She moved here with the intention of going to school, she even enrolled but then she met Pete, and everything changed.But she made the choice not to finish and regardless of how many times I tried to get her to go I couldn’t force her.“Do you want me to call them
