Chapter 30
December 3rd
Tasha was so glad that it was the end of the year and things had gone well for her. She had done well on her exams which was exciting and now Christmas was just around the corner. It felt weird because the year had gone so fast and a lot had happened.
She had started university.
Made new friends.
Spent a lot of time with her boyfriend.
Found out that she was going to be an aunty.
And found out that her best friend had gotten herself a boyfriend.
Things were going great between Isabella and Ryan and Tasha couldn't have been happier. Things were also great between Nicole and Riley. Everyone was in love right now and it was such a good feeling.
Amy and Mr Wilson were both stressed and in love right now. The baby would be due next year, next month, and Amy was starting to get nervous. She and Mr Wilson were now very busy getting the nursery set up for the baby. They were very busy with that and they had even roped Tasha into helping.
She was sick of it.
So, today, Adam and Tasha would be going to Isabella's house because, apparently, Destiny's foal was due to be born any minute now. Tasha couldn't believe that it was already this time of year. It felt like only yesterday when Isabella and Nicole had told her and Adam about Destiny and now it was almost time for the foal to arrive.
"Well," said Adam who was over at Tasha's house once again, "I have all my stuff ready to go so I am ready when you are."
"Well, before we go," replied Tasha as she was still packing her stuff, "I am actually kind of expecting someone."
Adam nodded his head. He vaguely remembered Tasha saying that Emma was coming over, but he had put it at the back of his mind, "ugh! I can still smell paint," he said, changing the subject.
"Maybe it is because the nursery is right next to us and we were painting it not too long ago," replied Tasha.
"Well, why did they have to force us to do it?" asked Adam, "it is not our problem."
"It is kind of my problem and I think my family is making you pull your weight around the house because you have been coming over all the time."
"Yeah, I am coming over for you. Not painting."
"And?"
"And what?"
"To get away from something?"
Adam nodded. Chloe had recovered well from her accident, but she had also moved into Adam's house with Stan. Adam didn't like the full house so he had been spending a lot of time at Tasha's. He said he didn't mind Stan helping our Chloe, but he also didn't want to be dragged into the problem.
"Things will be alright. I know it's not fun at your place right now, but things will get better," said Tasha.
"I hope so," replied Adam.
Tasha and Adam were distracted from their conversation when there was a knock at the door. Tasha went to answer it and she greeted Emma, the person she was expecting to come over. Tasha let her friend inside and then led her up to her room. Emma smiled when she saw Adam and Adam smiled a hello.
"So," said Tasha, "how's things?"
"Good," replied Emma.
"Have you, you know, gotten over the little crush?"
