CHAPTER 12

TRESTON

"HI HONEY," MY MOM walks into the living room and sits down next to me. I'm supposed to be at the house now, but need to stay away from campus for a little longer. Since the night at Zara's, I haven't been returning her text messages. I don't blame her for giving up and avoiding me. I'm being a complete dick to her and I'm going to lose her before anything happens.

I woke up before her and left without saying a word. She deserves more than I could give. After hearing her admit her secret, it freaked me out a little. This is what I've been waiting to hear, but hearing it aloud did something to me.

"Is everything okay?" I look at her and shake my head. "You've been sad for so long. And then you bring over a beautiful girl, who by the way, I really like. She's so sweet, Treston."

"Yeah, she is."

"So what's wrong?"

"She told me she's falling for me, pretty much. It's what I wanted to hear. Then I hear it and freak out. Am I crazy?"

My mom brings me in for a hug and I let her. I don't give a shit how old you are, if your mom wants to hug you, then you let her hug you. Seriously, my mom gives the best hugs.

"You have to let go of Emily. I know it's hard and I know you blame yourself. The accident isn't your fault. Her cancer isn't your fault."

"I made her stop treatment." Closing my eyes, I hold in the tears. Emily didn't want to continue with chemo. She wanted to spend her last moments here with me and making memories that she could take to Heaven. "I never pushed her to continue. She would have listened to me."

"No, baby. She wouldn't have. Emily's decision to stop treatment is her decision alone. What you did for her, taking her away from here, and letting her be comfortable in the house the both of you fell in love at, that's something she has forever. But the accident is not your fault."

"It is." I get up from the couch and grab my keys, "I'm heading out to the party. I love you Mom, and thanks."

"I love you too, Treston. Call me later, okay?" I nod and walk out of the house.

I check my phone and there’s nothing from Peaches. Starting my car I zoom the streets to get back to the house. She has to be at the party and it irritates me that she's there without me. I miss her and want her near me. I realize that I need to show her that I can treat her right.

Parking my car, I head inside, hoping that she’s around. When I walk in, I see Henry with a group of guys. I turn and see Gavin with Katy on the couch. Before I could walk over to them to ask where Zara is, Ethan comes up to me and pushes me to the side.

“Can I help you?” I seethe, impatiently waiting for his answer.
