Chapter 33

Vicky

I woke up with a huge headache. The room was still dark and I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t have the strength to. I cried myself to sleep last night. I couldn’t stop thinking for a second about this mess; about me and Adrian.

I never thought I would actually get the scholarship. I was scared. I had no idea what that would mean and what would become of us. I know that Adrian said he would come with me, just like I thought he would, but things are more complicated than that.

My life has been every girl’s dreams. I don’t have a father, but I never really missed him and I have a great mother, who understands and respects my wishes, a wonderful best friend and the perfect boyfriend.

Adrian’s my rock. I can’t even imagine what would be to live without him anymore. I know seven months isn’t a long time, but it changed my life. What would it be like not having him leaning on my car every morning, sometimes even holding a rose for me, waiting to give me a kiss? What would it be like not having him with me when there’s a storm out there? Not to feel his hand in mine or his arms around me? I can’t even begin to describe how much I cherish all these little things.

But it’s all about to change. I’m moving to Chicago and I know there’s no way out of it. I just don’t know what is worse: trying to maintain our relationship even with all the distance between us or letting Adrian move to Chicago with me and leave everything behind. His job. His family. All because of me.

The later would be worse I guess. There are just so many reasons why it’s a bad idea. I knew that moving to Chicago with Adrian would be wonderful. It would be selfish of me but I needed him. I wish he could go with me so bad that my heart ached whenever I think about the chance of him not going. If I talked to my mom I’m sure she would let me share an apartment with him, since I don’t have to stay in the dorms. I would wake up beside him every day. Oh God, how much I wish I could let him go. But I can’t. I just can’t.

His life is here. His future’s here. He didn’t even go to college in another city so he wouldn’t be away from home and now it’s even worse because his father expects him to stay and work with him.

Leah told me how important it was to their father. He was hoping that Adrian, being the intelligent and dedicated professional he is, could take care of a few things so that he and his partner, Daniel, could relax a bit and work less.

At first I didn’t understand why they couldn’t just pick one of the guys who already work with them to do this job, but it didn’t take long for me to figure it out. There’s a lot of money involved, a lot of responsibilities and you just can’t trust anyone with that. Besides, the older engineers have their own way of dealing with the problems they find. Adrian, on the other hand, was fresh out of college and could learn exactly how his father and Daniel wanted to deal with their compromises. That’s why Adrian was already working there during the afternoons, so he could be trained.

So, after all that hard work how can I let him throw it all away? He’ll have a great position there and a brilliant future ahead for him.

Adrian’s dad is counting on him and so is Leah. I saw how disappointed she was when she told me Adrian would want to go with me. She’s my best friend, I can’t stand her looking at me like that, knowing that I was the reason of it all.
