A
Price to Pay
Part 3 Chapter 13
After Faith and I played soccer I
walked lazily to the shower. "Do we really have school
tomorrow?" I asked tiredly. Faith rolled her eyes, "Um,
yeah tomorrow would be Tuesday..." I groaned as I grabbed a
towel. Once I got in the shower my mind started digesting my week.
When I looked down to get my shampoo bottle I gasped; right next to
it was my razor. I breathed in sharply. I could do this, Faith was
probably just testing me. But the question is: was I ready? I
briefly closed my eyes and thought about all the good things in
life. I was getting married. I was going to college for soccer.
Faith wasn't coming with me... I quickly shook my head, no I
had to think of good things. I was one of the top scorers in the
state. Jeremy was going to college with me. I continued repeating
this list until I got out of the shower. When I turned off the
water, a smile was tugging at the corner of my lips. I did it! I
pasted the test! As I walked out of the bathroom to retrieve my
clothes, I picked up my shortest shorts and my shortest T-shirt.
Once I changed Faith looked at me, "Either you're a slutty
mess or you didn't do it." I smiled, "I have a
boyfriend so no need for the slutty mess." Faith smiled,
"Thank you." I looked around confused, "For
what?" She hugged me, "For not doing it."
The next few days passed in a blur.
Jeremy and I had agreed to telling his parents about our engagement
on Friday, then driving down to my hometown to tell my parents the
next day. As the days ticked by I became more and more nervous,
until Friday came. The school day was painfully fast, and when
Jeremy came to pick me up I was unprepared. "Are you positive
we should go now? Cause I have no problem waiting..." I said
hopefully. Jeremy squeezed my hand, "Im positive, besides we
need to tell my parents before 5:30 if we want to pick up Faith in
time." I groaned, "Jeremy, your parents already don't
like me, now they are going to hate me!" Jeremy looked into my
eyes, "I've convinced them that you are amazing, and
besides even if they do hate you my love for you will never
change." I smiled, "You know all the right things to say,
don't you?" Jeremy nodded his head and kissed me,
"Yes, I really do."
When we pulled into Jeremy's
driveway, the butterfly's in my stomach had returned. "How
do you feel?" Jeremy asked while getting out of the car. I got
out and clasped hands with him, "It feels like there's
angry ninjas in my stomach with swords." I said bluntly.
Jeremy chuckled then kissed my forehead, "Just remember my
love for you will never change." I nodded my head then
stopped, "I'm not nervous because your parents might stop
us. I'm nervous that I'm going to ruin your relationship
with your parents." Jeremy gently cradled my head,
"They'll get over it, and if that don't... Well
that's their problem." He whispered while kissing me
softly. I nodded while kissing him back, "Did I mention that I
love you?" I asked while pulling away. He nodded his head,
"Yeah, but it's nice to hear it anyway." I smiled
while walking up to his doorstep. I was ready.
"So how did it go?" Faith
asked excitedly. I grabbed my bag from Faith, "It was ummm
good I guess." Jeremy stuffed all our bags in his trunk,
"Let's say it went well." he said. Faith buckled
Sarah into her carseat, "Details! Details!" she squealed.
We all got into the car and started the long ride back to Faith and
my hometown. "Well I mean, they weren't thrilled, but they
were hospitable about it." I said happily. "They just
think Amy is holding me back, which she isn't, of course."
Faith frowned, "Well they should respect you Amy. You are just
amazing." Jeremy nodded his head, while I blushed fiercely.
"So how do you think your family will react?" Faith
asked. I shrugged my shoulders, "Sophia will be ecstatic
because she has a new person to annoy. And my parents would be a
little freaked and think I'm pregnant but then be ok."
jeremy nodded then said, "What about the mass for Jack?"
I my heart sunk a little. "I don't know... I guess if
someone asks I will have to tell the truth, but I'm just
nervous at what they think... What Jack will think." I
admitted sheepishly. "Amy he's dead, and anyone who makes
my girl mad is going to get it!" Jeremy shook his head,
"Faith we know he's dead but he was such a significant
part of her life... And they would have to go through me too."
I sighed, "Can we stop at the cemetery before we go to my
house?" Jeremy nodded his head, "Of course." he
said. Faith nervously wrung her hands, "Yeah, but could you
guy drop me off at Griffin's house, Sarah and I have a visit to
make." I turned around in my carseat to look at Faith,
"Are you sure?" she nodded her head, "I'm
sure."
When we turned down Griffin's
street Faith looked around nervously, "I know this all too
well... It's just like last time, except now I have the
baby..." I frowned; I knew how much pain she was going
through, "we'll pick you up once we get back from the
cemetery, call if you need us before that." I said. Faith just
nodded her head numbly while we turned into his driveway. Faith
unbuckled Sarah from her carseat, "Wish me luck." she
said while walking to the door. Once she was inside Jeremy and I
drove down the the cemetery. When we got there Jeremy dropped me
off to give me a little alone time with him. I walked to his grave
and knelt down, "Hey there, Jack." I said while sliding
my hand around the top of the headstone. "I know, it's
been awhile, but I think about you all the time. Whenever I get on
a soccer field I play for you, with the cleats you gave me." I
could feel tears burn in my eyes, "I have big news for you, I
got accepted to the university of Miami... Just like you said. I
guess you were always right..." I sighed and let the tears
escape, "And you remember Jeremy, right? Well he proposed to
me... And I said yes. We're getting married."
