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 can't believe her mother kept his ass! the house was her daughters. funny that she's willing to take in Christina, but it's a embarrassment for her daughter to be pregnant by a stepbrother. yet Christina can't even say who the dad is? oh how the double standards come a plenty.

    When I entered the house, I saw a male and female in the living room sitting close to each other and having a hush conversation.They didn't seem to notice me, so I moved to the kitchen and saw mom sitting around the counter with a mug of tea before her.She was staring blankly at it and didn't realize me coming in."Mom?" I called, and she looked up.Her eyes were red and swollen from all the crying, she got up and I pulled he le into an embrace."Oh Mia, I'm so glad you are here.""Who are those people in the living room?" I asked.Mom scoffed. "Johnathan's kids.""What?""Yeah, he told me about them a year ago, I think. It was sudden, and I hated him for a while for not sharing this with me.""He had other kids?" I was still I shocked."He does. Apparently, in his wallet, there was a letter to say if anything should happen to him while he was out. They should call me and his kids. Our numbers and addresses were written. While I was identifying his body, they showed up."My hate for

    "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

    ‘’How did it go?’’ Jolie asked when I got back inside but I brushed past her.‘’Mia,’’ she grabbed at my hand, and I pushed her away.‘’Why don’t you go talk to Aaron yourself, and if you can’t get through to him, then maybe he just doesn’t want to open up to you.’’‘’What happened out there?’’I sighed, ‘’just leave me out of this. Please don’t get me involved in your life. That’s all I have to say.’’‘’Guys, we leave in a few minutes,’’ Cameron poked her head around the corner and spoke.I left Jolie standing there, I knew I shouldn’t be taking this out on her. Fuck it, if she hadn’t asked me to see if Aaron was ok, now of this would have happened. We could have avoided each other until it was time to leave, but she had to be the concerned girlfriend who couldn’t brave up and talk to her man herself.‘’Mia, can I have a word with you for a minute?’’ Jace called me over.I went into the kitchen with him, and he wasted no time.‘’I was talking to Sharon. She is worried about you and A

    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

    Mom stepped forward and stopped before Christina.‘’Sharon, I’m sorry.’’But mom didn’t want to hear any of it because she slapped Christina across the face, the sound echoed around the silent room.‘’Leave this fucking house, now.’’ My told her.‘’But my baby. Where will we go?’’Mom shook her head. ‘’Leave! You are just an ungrateful little whore.’’Tears fell down Christina’s cheek, she turned to me and shook her head. ‘’I hope you are happy.’’‘’Mom said you need to leave, so go.’’ I told her.All eyes were on us, and I didn’t care.Aaron walked over and hugged mom. ‘’I’m so sorry Sharon, Johnathan did the same thing to my mother. I don’t know why I thought he would have changed, I blame myself sometimes for what happened because maybe if I had said something, then maybe things wouldn’t be like this.’’Mom shook her head. “You were just a child, Aaron. I couldn’t expect you to take on such a roll. But it was my fault, all this was happening, and I allowed it. I ignored what was ha

    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

    We all sat there in silence, it felt as if I had no idea what just happened.I glanced at mom, and she was glaring at Christina, I thought she would have attacked her, but she only stared.‘’I had no idea dad had all these things,’’ Cameron was the fist to break the silence.I agreed with her, who knew Johnathan was this wealthy but at the same time he acted as if he had nothing and took it out on people just because… I don’t know what his reason was, he basically had it all.‘’What the fuck! This can’t be happening; how could Johnny do this to me?’’Jace hit the table. ‘’You should leave Christina; this is family matter, and you aren’t apart of this.’’‘’What? You can’t tell me to leave.’’The lawyer cleared his throat. ‘’You can see yourself out, you aren’t apart of this family or have any ties to them.’’‘’But…’’ Christina wiped her eyes. ‘’You people haven’t heard the last of me, I am going to tell everyone what Johnathan did to me.’’Jace scoffed. ‘’No-one will care, you are the

    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.

    Aaron's P.O.VI ran up to the receptionist, panicking because I never thought Mia would have gone into labor so early.We had at least week more weeks before the birth of our child, and I felt like a horrible person for not finishing with the room for my son.I was at work when I got several calls, all with mixed feelings over the birth of our child."Hey, Mia Armstrong-Boyd," I said to the lady sitting around the desk."Your relationship to Mrs. Boyd?""Your husband," I said.After hearing that, she quickly typed on her keyboard while I tapped impatiently on the desk."On the fifth floor, room 105. If you take the first elevator on your left, it will take you directly there."I rode the elevator up, and when the door opened. I was expecting to see the room right before me, but it was the nursery for new borns. "Excuse me, can you tell me where room 105 is?"The doctor looked up from his clipboard."All the way down the hall, second door on the right." He pointed with his pen."Thank

    Seven years later...***"I'm home!" I yelled.I walked to the living room with Aaron in tow, and now I saw why mom wasn't answering.She was busy setting up Christmas decorations. Hey mom," I said."Hey, sweetheart." She grunted out.Aaron placed his bag on the ground."Let me get that for you.""Such a sweet one," mom smiled, and the wrinkled around her eyes got more profound.I watched Aaron as he easily stapled the Christmas lights to the skirting of the ceiling.I still couldn't believe that after all these years, Aaron and I were still together.I did just like in my dream and moved to California and went to Stanford University, Aaron came with me and studied law.He was now a tax lawyer who hadn't failed any of his clients thus far.I was working at a food testing lab, which was an interesting field, and I didn't want to give up on that."Where's dad?"

    The party was going great for the most part, and I didn't know if it was history repeating itself, but a kid by the name of Tyler approached me, he didn't go to our school, else I would have remembered him.He tried to dance with me, when I refused, he called me a bitch and I walked away from him because I wasn't going to let someone I didn't know disrespect me.He followed behind me, and Stacy started to argue with him."What is your problem?"That got him to back off for a bit.I looked around, trying to find Aaron, I spotted him still playing dart with his friends.I placed my cup on the table and talked to my friends.By the time I could talk up my cup and put it to my lips, there Aaron is, slapping it out of my hand."Aaron!" I said.He didn't respond. Instead, he was fighting with Tyler. Punching him in the face and when he fell on the ground, Aaron kicked him in the stomach.I grabbed a hold of Aaron, and he stopped."What are you doing?""I had to teach this little pussy a les

    By the end of the school week, rumors had spread around that Aaron and I were a thing. Mostly because they saw us hanging out all the time, but honestly, we never discussed that.I stood at Tasha's locker, laughing at her antics."Hey," Aaron said as he came up to see.Tasha waved at him, but the skeleton she had been hiding in her locker fell out, and that got me laughing all over again.Aaron was in full football gear, ready for practice and the big game tomorrow. "So, there is this romor that we are dating.''I froze up."I want to make those rumors true. That's if you are cool with that.""I... ye... we...""What she means is yes," Tasha cut in as I babbled on."Awesome," Aaron bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek.When he walked away, Tasha and I squealed and jumped up and down."Oh my God, this is so amazing," she said.It was, I felt so happy, and maybe, just maybe Aaron and I could get engaged and have that happy life I saw in my dream."Are you going to the game tomorro

    Saturday, I was at the mall with Tasha in a comic book store looking for new mangas. Then I suddenly remembered when Aaron had said , 'we have a lot in common.'I wondered if he felt that way even now.And as if on cue, the doorbell rang, and in he walked.I tried my best not to follow him, but as faith would have it, we bumped into each other."Sorry," I said, and he walked on without a word.I should really accept reality. We will never be together.I doubled back for a comic I saw, and when I got there, Aaron came up at the same time.Our hands touched, and I swore I felt a spark, but I guess it was just me because he didn't seem to have the same reaction I did."Sorry," I said, and again, no response.But what did I expect? After paying, I hurried out the shop and left Tasha there so I could catch my breath.While standing there, a thought came to me.When Tasha came out, I grabbed her hand."Let's go to Madison Park."She frowned. "That's a three hour drive, and we are supposed

    By lunchtime, there was a protest around the school to stop animal dissecting at our school."They were only frogs!" Mr. White yelled while walking down the hall.But the protest was put to an end quickly, as soon as the principal threatened to suspend everyone involved, they all scrambled."Well, that was exciting," Tasha said."Beth kind a does have a point," I said. "As much as I am into all this, cutting open an animal was still... disturbing."On our walk to the cafeteria, we walked by Aaron, and I looked back at him to see him staring at me.Was he smiling at me?At that moment, I wondered if he had the same dream as me.He slammed his locker shut, and that dragged me out of my reverie.Tasha and I sat with our other friends, and we talked about the latest anime episodes we had seen over the weekend.Yes, this was what I was used to. Not me just sitting by myself in a room full of people and not able to express myself because people found animes weird.I felt eyes on me, when I

    Olivia pulled me to the side."Can you help me get the salad?" She asked.I know that it didn't take two people to get the salad, but I knew something like this was coming. Call me inside just to tell me to stay away from her son.Better yet, she would cusre me out and tell me that I was just like my mother.Mom stole Johnathan from her, and I stole Aaron from Jolie."Mia, thank you for doing this." She pulled me into a hug.Ok, that wasn't expected."Uh, doing what?""Helping my little Aaron.""You're welcome..." I was confused. "I know he might not tell you this, and it shouldn't be my place to say. But you saved him.""I did?"She smiled. "Aaron had a rude childhood, and I'm to be blamed for that, before coming to live in Seattle, he was on suicide watch and I had beg Johnathan to take him so he could have better upbringing, but I guess it was too late."Olivia shuffled a few things around in the fridge before taking out the potato salad."Then one day he called me and said that

    "Jolie, you told me you understand, so why are you doing this now?" I could hear Aaron saying.I stayed hidden behind the wall so I could hear what they had to say to each other."I do, I did. But seeing you now with her, I just can't. And you are being engaged now. It's too much, Aaron.""Why did you even come? Sharon must have told you what she was planning.""She did, I came because I wanted to prove to myself that we are really done. I thought I could handle it."Aaron made a sound."Aaron, you have to see how fucked up this is, you can't possibly go through with marrying her."Aaron gave a laugh. "And I should marry you?""We love each other, and she is your stepsister."There was a pause, and I feared Aaron was contemplating her words."Jolie, honestly. Even if I were to leave Mia, I would never come back to you. We were never meant for each other."I wished I could see the look on her face as he said that."What are you saying?""With Mia, I can be myself. With you, I had to ki

    "Mom is asking if we could spend Christmas we her," I said, walking out to the balcony where Aaron was sipping coffee and looking out at the ocean."Sure, that would be nice."I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his back.This might just be the happiest I have ever been.After graduating from university, Aaron and I moved into a place close to the sea, which blessed us with beautiful sunsets and sunrises.And occasionally, whales.I could see that he was happy as well. He did a lot more smiling and opened up more to me about things that bothered him.I didn't want to say that he was following in Johnathan’s footsteps, but he was thinking of starting his own art gallery, and I would support him all the way."How is your mom doing?" I asked."Still not talking to me."I leaned my head on his shoulder, still blaming myself for the now shitty relationship he now had with his mom."Stop doing that," Aaron said."Do what?""You are blaming yourself again."How could he possibly kno
