Chapter Three; Adrien

The asphalt, wet from the morning dew, was cold on my bare feet. I’d been walking for forty-five minutes before I realized where I was going. I could see it, my favorite place on this island. The water hitting the rocks, the sweet smell in the air. The ocean. I love you Adrian. I had to clear my head. I needed to relax and remember that everything was going perfectly. You’re going on vacation; I’ll be here when you get back. I just can’t shake this awful feeling. 


Teagans voice ringing in my mind is the only thing keeping e smiling right now. Sitting around this table, everyone arguing. I can’t remember why I come to these things. Our family reunions are always so bitter. Family is an important part of your life Adrien, You can’t cut it out. He’s right, he’s always right. Still doesn’t stop my head from spinning from all the shouting. How will I ever be able to introduce Teagan to my family if they always act like animals together? Sigh 


I needed to get out of there. So here I am. Standing on the rocks, facing the ocean, relaxing. I’m always just a phone call away, remember that. I remember. It’d be bothersome to call every time I couldn’t handle my family. We’d never have any time off the phone. I don’t want to worry him. Would Teagan really care if I called him? He’d probably be thrilled… Maybe I will.
