Chapter 60It was nice having things a little bit the way they used to.During classes, I no longer sat by myself. I was back to having Kyle sitting next to me and saying the most annoying things. It was good having him back in my life again, to be honest. He also had a way of making sure I don't zone out and overthink, which was something I was grateful for because I tend to do that a lot and it takes a huge toll on my mood."Earth to Grace?" Kyle snapped his fingers in my face.I aggressively shoved his hands away, "Are you crazy?""You zoned out again." He held his hands up in surrender."I did not." I folded my arms, looking at the professor."What was the last thing I said, then?" He gave a pointed look."The only thing you ever say…" I batted my lashes. "Trash."He pla

 Chapter 62It was at this point in my life that I really came to the literal understanding of the expression 'Stuck between a rock and a hard place'.I had never been so confused on what decision to make all my life. I have had some times where I was at crossroads but nothing could compete with this. I didn't know what to do. A part of me stuck with my decision to not drop everything I care about but there was also this part that replayed everything Chris had said to me that afternoon.So many things ran through my mind actually.I just couldn't seem to imagine myself leaving everything behind and going to England, where I didn't know anyone. I had seen so many movies where they make a decision like this and it ends up messing up their entire life and leaves them regretting why they weren't just patient. I wondered what my mom would think if I told her.&nbs

                                                                  Chapter 64A month had passed since the Kendra situation. I felt happy with myself that I had put Kyle in his place and made it very clear that I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. I didn't want to be his friend, I didn't want to talk to him, I didn't care if he tried to talk to me because after that stunt he pulled, I didn't even let my mind wander to the fact that he used to be important in my life and I just completely cut him off.It didn't take time before I had forgotten all about it and I wasn't the least bit bothered. I had people like Dean and Chris with me and they both had a way of making my life so much better. Plus, I also a

                                                              Chapter 66Chris' photos got approved.He was so happy and excited that his work was going to be displayed on Mark Finston's photo exhibit and Dean and I couldn't have been happier for him. We still hadn't seen the photos, Chris wouldn't let us. He said he wanted us to see it for the first time in the exhibit and we didn't mind, honestly. We were just really proud of him and his accomplishments.The photo exhibit was tonight and Dean and I had gotten ready to leave. We had agreed to meet Chris there, as well as our other friends whom he had invited. I was dressed in a rose gold dress which hugged my upper body and flared from my waist, ending mid-thi

                                                          Chapter 68{ D E A N }Three days.I hadn't heard from Grace in three days.Ever since she broke up with me, I've felt completely empty. As cheesy and over the top as this may sound, everything seemed to have lost purpose and meaning. I never thought a time like this would come, where Grace would no longer want anything to do with me, where we wouldn't be together.After that morning at Chris', I drove back home feeling the deepest void inside me. I had been texting Grace nonstop to hear me out but I haven't gotten a response from her. It was only today that I realized that she had blocked my number, if not deleted it and that hurt me, a lot. If sh
