Emi
Jack wanted to surprise me, so he had Jake pick me up. Having Jake pick me up kind of annoyed me. I was expecting him to be here, but instead, Jake pulled up and explained that Jack couldn’t pick me up because of what he had planned.
“How is Alyssa doing?”
“She’s doing good. Every day she hopes it’s the day she goes into labor. She’s just uncomfortable and wants the baby out.”
“Well, once the baby comes, it’s going to be spoiled. I’m kind of hoping it happens while I’m here.”
“Or you could stay. We want you back for good, Em.”
“I’m not staying; my life isn’t here anymore.”
“Your entire life is here. Your dad, my mom, me and Alyssa, Tyson, and Jack. You say your life isn’t here, but it is. Are you happy out west?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t lie, Emi.”
I let out a sigh. I wasn’t really lying. I’m content out there. I have my own life; I don’t have to deal with a complicated relationship.
