SZNS SERIES 1: Summer by Maria Writes (books for men to read txt) 📗

happy is making her happy as well. Elated even.

This is how she imagined everything. Both her mother’s setting aside their differences and being on he same page for her. Her father finally supporting her despite the doubts she has in her heart. This is everything. Her everything.

It's the reason why she's breathes and why she wants to continue breathing. That is the only thing she's looking for, someone who'll love her and accept her for who and what she is.

Back in the boarding house, she can hear commotion happening in the living room from the outside. They must be enjoying their selves too much. She turns on the knob and went inside.

It was chaotic, bottles are scattered around the floor. Foods are everywhere, and there's a movie playing on the television but no one is paying attention to it. Everything is very messy.

Chloe sat on the sofa and grabbed a bottle of beer from the cooler beside the table. Everyone is having so much fun, not caring that she arrived. No one seemed to notice that she's back at all.

She chugged on the beer and just listens to her friends as they talked about non-sense things. It's funny listening to them, especially to those who are drunk.

"Oh, I remember during the auditions, when they announced the results, Dean shit on his pants when he heard his name called."

They all laughed as the boys relieve that moment a few months back. That was hilarious, she doesn't know that thing happened.

Katherine raised her hands and stand so everyone can see her. "What about when Blake asked Chloe to date him but she declined?" Katherine laughed hysterically while all of them are quiet, especially she, Blake, and Jesse. "That was epic. If only all of you seen his face."

"Awkward." someone said.

Well, it was. She can't believe Katherine brought that up. Can she really blame her? Katherine is drunk and so is the others, maybe they won't remember anything she said.

Yes, that's right. They won't remember so it's best to just act as if nothing happened. They all went back to talking non sense and luckily, no one ever talked about what happened to her and to Blake.

Jesse went to seat beside her and give her another bottle of beer. She just listens silently to what everybody is talking about which is mostly stuff she doesn't know.

"How's the dinner with your parents? Did it go okay?"

She nodded. "Yeah, it was. I mean, I don't really expect for my parents to be friends again after what happened but they are and I'm happy for them. How about you? Have you talked to your parents already?"

"Yeah, I did. Yesterday, my father and I went to my mother's tomb. It was great, I gave them time for their selves even if mom won't answer my dad. And Emily and I already talked. Actually, she gave us something, a graduation gift."

"And what is that?" Chloe is intrigued about what Emily will give them as a graduation gift. She didn't even had any from her parents.

"It's a surprise. You'll see tomorrow."

Okay, if she has to wait until tomorrow then she'll do it. What is that surprise going to be? Chloe can't wait for her to see it. And she can't also wait to start a new life with Jesse.

Chloe looked at Jesse intently before turning his face towards her. "Can I tell you a secret?"

"Sure. What is it?"

She smiled and give him a kiss on his lips. "I love you."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EPILOGUE

 

 

"Are you ready?" Jesse asked?

She nodded and hopped inside the car. They are going to have a drive to their new home. And she can't wait to see what's waiting for them in Miami. Chloe took a final glance at the house that's been a home for her in years.

I'll miss every moment I spent here.

"Let's do this."

Jesse started the car and started driving. She's electrified. They'll be driving for tons of hours that means she and Jesse have to take turn driving. They could've fly to Miami, but she'd always wanted to do a road trip. And in that way, she and Jesse could spend a lot of time together which they rarely do now because they don't live in the same house anymore.

But not anymore. Not they'll be having their own apartment. They can have all the times they want for themselves.

"Can you look for a drive thru? I'm very hungry." Chloe didn't have the time to eat her breakfast because she was to emotional when she woke up this morning.

"Sure, what do you what?" he asked.

"Anything. But I want to have coffee."

They drove more until they saw a café with a drive thru and ordered tons of foods. Surely, these foods will get them through the day. It's a day and a half drive and they'll only stop for gas and bathroom breaks.

She has tons of donuts on her lap and she's munching on it whole heartedly. How could I be this lucky? From time to time, she will place a donut or a chip in front of Jesse's mouth which he happily accepts.

Their drive was like that the whole morning. It was fun. They talked a lot about anything under the sun, eat tons of foods, and sleep. Well, it was just her who slept because Jesse has been driving.

Chloe closed her eyes and let herself sleep. It was very uncomfortable but she managed to fall into slumber, but only for a while. She doesn't know how long she was sleeping but she knows it's not that long.

There was a light tap on her shoulder that forced her to open her eyes. It was Jesse. The car is stopped. For a gas, maybe. Or bathroom break. Or probably
