Bumping Into Love (ON HOLD)

E I G H T E E N

Madison's pov.:

Omg, omg, omg. I have so much stress right now. I have to call a restaurant. I have to reserve a room in the restaurant. My mom let me handle this whole James thing. I like it. I mean I can make it perfect and not something old like my parents always do.

I do this for over three years. I search for a restaurant with a separate room where you can drink and eat and talk with your family. It's not a party, it's a memorial. Then, we remember what happened to James.

I like that we do it. That's a sign that he's always in my heart. My parents want to stop it. It's thirteen years ago. They think it's get boring. It's not getting boring. I guess they didn't actually want a child after me.

Of course they thought it was terrible what happened to him. And the memorial was a good idea of my father. But now they don't like it very much. Maybe it's because it's too long ago. Or maybe it's because it stills hurts like hell. What I can understand.

Anyways the memorial is tomorrow and the restaurant with the room I had chosen is broke. They don't exist anymore. So I can't do it there. I have to call another restaurant for tomorrow otherwise it's going to end in a flop.

The Hunter-problem: not solved either. He just keeps looking at me but doesn't say anything. It's like he can look but can't touch. It's weird. It's still weird. Two days ago he kissed me passionate and now he is ignoring me.

I just have to forget him like every other girls does when it doesn't work out with the boy she likes.

It's Friday and I don't have lessons. And guess what? I just sit here in my room with my phone close to my ear for the reservation. Rachel has four classes today.

After that we are going to eat something in the city. She said that I need distraction from everything. She's right though. With Hunter, with the memorial, I haven't even had time to study.

On Monday I have a huge test for maths. (A/N: I have totally no idea what classes you get in college. I sit in high school so I don't know anything about it, even things about being a lawyer. Don't be mad at me for that. I try some subjects that are logic to me.)

I don't know if I have time to study. Tomorrow I have the memorial. That's probably during the whole day so I don't think it's something for two hours. I can probably study on Sunday. I hope it so much.

The principal has also announced that the art room is ready. Hunter and Sean have worked really hard. The janitor said it's going to take two weeks. I am happy that it's ready and that I can paint again. But trough this I can't see Hunter ever again. This was the reason why he was in school. And now I don't think I am going to see him in the city.

It can happen, like the first time. But that was just a coincidence. I need to forget him. Immediately.

Anyways I have to get ready for lunch. Rachel has still one hour to go. But I can get ready by now, right? I decide to wear something casual: a jeans with a blouse. It's not like its fancy or something.

It's just lunch for the distraction because I am gonna say to my parents that I don't want to become a lawyer.

I know it's not a good timing but I just need to tell them that as fast as I can. I know, I know, tomorrow is the memorial but it just needs to get out of my mouth. Does that sound pathetic?

Whatever.

After lunch we went straight to our dorm. I need to pack my things to go to my parents. Rachel has proposed to come with me to my parents. But I don't think it's a good idea. It'll be difficult enough for them.

"But not beat around the bush, just straight to the point."

That's her advice. It's good but I don't know if I can do that. I am so nervous and then I'm rattling something totally weird. But she's right. I need to tell them. And it cannot ruin the happiness and sadness tomorrow. That would not be fair against James. Tomorrow is his day.

When I get there I see my mom cooking and my dad reading the papers, as always. 'Hi mom, hi dad. Long time no see.' Actually I saw them Sunday but I don't know what I should say otherwise. 'Hi baby girl, how's school? Is everything alright? What did you wanna talk about?'

'Calm down, mom. It's nothing too bad.' I hope so. 'But would you wanna sit down on the couch. Dad you too, this is very important.' Dad looks at me over his newspaper. He just nods and goes to the couch.

'Oh my dearest God, it cannot be true.' My mom starts shouting. What's her problem? I set my I-don't-understand-face on. She goes on.

'You're pregnant. Who's the happy guy?' What the h*ll? What's she talking about? 'Rose, let her talk.' My dad is my best friend. He supports me in most of the things. But you already know his business is way important.

My mom is kinda an embarrassing. But most of the moms are, isn't that? But now she's way out of my talk zone. 'No, absolutely not.' 'Why, I want grandbabies. What's wrong with that?' I roll with my eyes.

'I have still plenty enough time, okay. So that's not what I want to talk about. But take a deep breath this can come as a surprise.' 'What's wrong, princess?' Why are they using nick names? My dad called me always princess when I was little.

'I just gonna go straight to the point. No beating around the bush.' I say in myself but maybe too loud.

'Mom, dad, I don't want to become a lawyer. I love art. I want to do something with art in my life. I even have applied to an internship in New York. But it's a small chance I am gonna get that. But I wanted to tell you before I make a big mistake.'

Woah, she said it to her parents. what's gonna happen?

Again, I am so sorry for the problem with the one or two chapters. it's just so busy in my life right now. I am still tryna deal with it so it's not so easy to update. But I try my best and do everything i can.

And I am gonna update only one chapter every Wednesday. Sorry
