A
Price to Pay
Part 3 Chapter 15
I retrieved my house keys from the bottom of my purse. I unlocked
the door and stepped in, "Hey everyone! I'm home!" I
shouted. My sister, Sophia, lazily walked in from the kitchen,
"Hola, little sis, and little sis's boytoy." I rolled
my eyes and gave her a hug, "Well hello to you too." I
said sarcastically. Jeremy waved, "Hey, Sophia." My
sister ignored his wave and gave him a big hug. Jeremy threw me a
confused glance behind her shoulder, I just shrugged my shoulders;
he wasn't the only one confused. Once Sophia released him I
changed topic, "So where's mom and dad?" I asked
glancing around. She sighed, "Mom just got out of work and dad
should be leaving the apartment about now. They both wanted to be
here when you walked in but they're not so I get the
honors," Sophia raised her hands over her head and said
sarcastically, "Welcome home!" I rolled my eyes,
"Thanks... Ok well Jeremy and I are going up stairs, let me
know when everyone gets here." She smiled and looked at Jeremy
and i secretly, "Have fun you two love birds." I
didn't like that smile; she knew something the rest of us
didn't... I shook it off, whatever. Jeremy and I walked up to
my room. But when I opened the door I knew exactly why Sophia had
been smiling. Half my room was covered in boxes, the other half had
been transformed into and art studio. There was something about
seeing all my stuff in boxes that got to me. I walked over to my
dresser and found my iPod dock but Sophia's iPod in there with
a new song ready to be played. "What happened?" Jeremy
asked. I shook with rage and said through gritted teeth,
"Sophia transformed my room into her private art studio."
I balled my hand into fists and ran down the stairs, "Sophia
what the hell happened to my room!?" Sophia smirked, "Oh,
you don't mind right. Mom said I could because I live so close
to home... Oh chill out! Don't worry we moved all your stuff to
guest bedroom." I shook my head, "The boxes are still in
my room, and why the hell didnt you move into the guest
bedroom!" I shouted. Her expression softened, "I
didn't know it would hurt you... And the boxes are just my
paints and stuff, oh and the guest bedroom was too small." I
sighed, "I feel like I'm being kicked out of my
room..." She looked hurt, "I didn't think it would
care, and your gone all the time. I'm sorry I should have
asked." I sighed and shook my head, "No it's fine...
Just ask next time." I said while walking up the stairs. I got
Jeremy and headed into the guest bedroom. It looked like and exact
replica of my old one, just cramped. I sighed and plopped down on
the bed. "Are you ok?" Jeremy asked while lying down next
to me. I nodded my head, "I'm fine, just a little
hurt." Jeremy closed his eyes in thought. After awhile he
opened them and reached inside his pocket. He pulled out his iPod
and clicked on a song. I smiled; the song was 'My Wish' by
Rascal Flatts. The familiar lyrics flooded through me, "You
remembered." I whispered. He smiled, "I remember
everything you say." I kissed him softy on the lips. Suddenly
Sophia knocked on the door, "Yo love birds! Mom and dad are
here!" I slowly pulled back and grabbed Jeremy's hand,
"Are you ready?" I asked nervously. He nodded his head,
"When I'm with you I'm ready to do anything."
After my parents welcomed me home and everyone was settled down in
the living room I stood up, "Mom, dad, Sophia, we have
something to tell you." My parents looked at me with
concern and Sophia rolled her eyes, "Here comes the big
shocker." I ignored Sophia and took a deep breath,
"Jeremy recently found out that he was also accepted into the
university of Miami," I squeezed Jeremy's hand and
continued, "and with that being said, we want to get
married." I said while holding up my left hand with the
engagement ring on it. My parents looked at me; alarm written all
over their face. "Are you pregnant?" my mom asked in
disbelief. I shook my head violently, "No. Of course
not!" Their expressions softened a little, "You barely
know each other." my mom said softly. "Mom we're in
love." I said dreamily looking at Jeremy. My mother looked
like she was going to say something but she shut her mouth. But I
knew what she was going to say. 'I was in love once too.'
I'm not an idiot, I knew my parents didn't believe in love
anymore; but I did. And that's all that matters. "Oh my
gosh! This is amazing! Ok I'm in charge of all the decorations
and art work! I'm the wedding planner! Ohhh this is going to be
so much fun." Sophia said excitedly. I smiled, "Your not
only just the wedding planner sister dear; your also my maid of
honor with Faith." Sophia looked like she was about to cry,
which to me was the most shocking thing of the night. "Jeremy
what do you think of this?" My dad asked. Jeremy squeezed my
hand and said, "Mr. Reed, I love your daughter, and I want to
spend the rest of my life with her. I know her better than I know
myself." Jeremy was starting to win my parents over I thought
while my parents expressions softened more. "What's her
favorite color?" Sophia cut in. "Purple." Jeremy
responded. "Her dream career?" "Professional soccer
player." "What's her dead boyfriend's name?"
"Jack." "How about her favorite song?" "My
Wish, by Rascal Flatts." "One last question," my
sister questioned, "who's her favorite person?"
Jeremy smiled, "You, of course." I rolled my eyes while
my sister smiled and said, "He passes my test. I say he's
a keeper."
