Family Matters (Part Three)
I didn't see Jenna since the day I left the hospital. But a week after leaving,I went to ask the doctor if her and Ellie left with her parents. "Yeah,a few days after you... disappeared. She was upset,but I didn't ask,it wasn't my place." she replied. "It's ok. We ended things,it was best for Ellie. I had to leave. Thanks for keeping an eye on her." "No problem." the doctor said and I walked off. A year went by,and I decided to go live with my parents again. I booked a flight to Wisconsin and flew home. I knocked on the door and my mom opened up. I walked right past her and upstairs to my bedroom. I locked the door and lay down on my bed. I thought about Jenna and Ellie. I missed them both,but I couldn't be in their lives. I was an inconvenience to Jenna. I lay there and cried myself to sleep.
When I woke up,it was after 8 pm. My parents were downstairs watching TV. I walked into the kitchen and looked in the fridge for something to eat and grabbed a slice of pizza from the box. I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch eating my pizza. "Are you gonna tell us why you showed up so unannounced and just walked in?" my mom asked, staring at me. "Great news for you,Jenna and I are done. We have nothing to do with that family anymore,you happy now?" I said and got up to go to my room. I picked up my phone and saw that I had over a thousand texts from Jenna and 70 missed calls. I blocked her and put my phone off before going back to sleep.
17 years passed,and I still missed Jenna and Ellie. I wondered what Ellie looked like after 17 years. During those 17 years,my parents and me grew closer. We put the whole Jenna family situation in the past and lived life normally. But not me. I missed Jenna so much. One day I got a call from my friend back in LA, inviting me to his wedding as his best man. I accepted and a few days later,I flew back to LA. I spend most of the time before the wedding hanging out with old friends. My time in la made me realise that I still love Jenna,even if she hurt me. So I decided to find out where she lived.
When I finally found out where she lived,I borrowed my friend's car and drove to her house. I knocked and a tall guy answered. "Can I help you?" he asked. "Actually,yeah. Is Jenna here?" I asked nervously. "Not at the moment,can I take a message?" "No,it's ok, sorry for wasting your time." I said and started walking back to the car when I heard a girl shout "Who's at the door, dad?" I looked back and saw Ellie,all grown up. I remembered her blue eyes but saw she dyed her brown hair blonde. "Ellie." I whispered. The guy heard and asked how I knew her name,but I didn't answer and ran to the car. I drove back to my friends house and immediately went to the guest bedroom and locked the door.
A week passed,and it was the day of my friends wedding. The ceremony was beautiful,and after the wedding,the groom, groomsmen and best man all...
