Starlee

I feel better after the party than before, and not just because I blew off some steam singing with the girls or finally got Charlie to let down his guard (and his pants), but because he’d showed me something I’d been missing. I come in the house quietly, not wanting to wake LeeLee, and change and brush my teeth. I spot my computer when I get in my bedroom and stare at it.

Just like I’d told Charlie earlier tonight, I realize the truth. I’m scared to let go and find my real happiness. Somehow, I’ve become mired in the between. One foot in the past and one hovering over the future. I’m the girl that had the courage to run away. I’m the one that started a new life, built a new family. It’s foolish of me to be scared because I can’t completely control what’s ahead.

I walk over to my computer, opening it up to the college application sites. I pull up the one to Emory and delete it, wiping away any record it had ever existed, and then move to the other two, submitting them both.

I turn off the lights and crawl into bed, smiling to myself with the knowledge that I’ve taken things into my own hands tonight.

Twice.
