Chapter 8: A New Start

It turns out, no only did dumping Austen be the best thing I’d done that year, but it gave me a new chance with TJ. After the break-up I wondered why I’d never really given him much of a second chance. Taking this an opportunity to do so, I dedicated my weekends towards going to Kayla’s and meeting him, along with his friends once again.

A move declared my entrance into a different life. My parents put the house on sale, meanwhile I found myself becoming increasingly happier at school. These last moments at school, made me realize how much I’d missed because of a single boy, and now I know to remember each individual thing that happens in my life.

All TJ really needed was a second chance, and I couldn’t believe it took this long to realize it. We became the best of friends, speaking regularly on the phone, and seeing him every week. I only wish that maybe I could’ve realized these mistakes before, because I missed a wonderful friendship with him, but each individual thing in life helps you grow, each step of the way, and for that I’m grateful. TJ taught me valuable life lessons, could I ever repay him? Who knows? All I know is this was a new start to something amazing.

From now on…everything would be okay.
