Lucas:And when will that be? I'm not a very patient man, you know.
Rose:How about the week after the championship?
Lucas:Sounds perfect. I miss you. I'll let you focus on Joe now.
Rose:I love you
Lucas:I love you too.
Rose:In case you're wondering, I miss you too.
I can't wait to have her back in my arms.I am going to devour her when I see her again. I won't let her out of my sight. She is going to be kept in bed with me all day.
"What's Liv up to?" Lisa asked with a knowing smirk.
"She's catching up with an old friend."
"That's good. I'm glad you guys are getting some time to yourself. You are so attached at the hip. That can't be healthy." Lisa gave me her unwanted opinion. I rolled my eyes at her, making her do the same to me.
"Who asked you?" I bit back.
"Don't get snappy with me. I'm saying you guys need to remember you're two separate people. You can't be with each otherallof the time."
"You two stop it. This is supposed to be my gift, so no bickering," Mom scolded us.
"Sorry, Mom," we said in unison.
"Jinx!" Lisa pointed with a laugh. I rolled my eyes again at her.
"We're not five, Lisa."
"Oof, tell that to the laws of superstition when they come for you with bad luck for breaking my jinx." I watched her shake her head like she was so disappointed in me. I was glad to see she was still being herself after what had happened. The guy hadn't bothered her since Rose beat the ever living shit out of him. I am sure Viking Man and Mr. Clean sealed the deal. I would have shit myself if I were left alone with those two after a small girl beat me up.
"Lucas, why did you bring so many journals?" Mom asked, picking one up. I ran quickly towards her, taking the journal from her hand before she peered inside it.
"They're Rose's old journals. The ones she's letting me read."
"Hmm, that's quite a lot of them. Why is she making you read them all?" Mom's brow pinched in the middle, a bit upset.
"She isn't making me. I wanted to, and she allowed me to," I corrected her.
"I don't think I would ever want my boyfriend reading my journals. Especially not my high school ones. She's either very brave or very naive." Mom gave me her unnecessary commentary.
"Weren't you and Lisa about to go shopping?" I reminded her, ready for her to stop talking about Rose.
"Yes, we're going now. Call if you need anything, and stay out of trouble while we're gone." She pinched my cheek for a moment before heading towards the door with Lisa.
"No problem. I'll keep myself busy." I held up the journals to let her know I'd be reading. I heard the car we rented back out of the driveway and onto the narrow road which led to the cabin. I know they'll make it and be fine, but I hate thinking about them driving in the snow. I tried to push the thought out, replacing it with Rose's journal.
Dear Future Me,
Ian still has not written back. It's almost the end of June. Should I have gotten something by now?
To distract myself and to try to get out of the house I used the bike Ian left to try and find a job. Guess what? We did it! It was super random and very weird, but we have a job at the Iron Work Tattoo Parlor starting tomorrow. I was inquiring in different restaurants and fast food places when I heard a strong male voice from across the street.
"Hey, kid!" A large intimidating man called to me. I didn't know what to say, but I didn't shy away. "Come here, redhead." he called me over to me.
I crossed the street a bit wearily of the large man. I figured I could probably take him if I needed to. When I got to him, he folded his arms in front of his chest and looked down at me.
