Chapter Twenty-One

We get through the last two days of camp without any surprises or storms. At the goodbye ceremony, my girls presented me with our cabin sign, which they’d autographed. Raine’s girls honored her with a prank.

“Those little assholes melted my lipsticks together!”

“Pranks are a sign of love.” I roll off her bunk and inspect the giant swirl of pink, red, and purple molded to look like a giant penis and glued to her cabin sign. “It so cute how they all kissed the wood with a different shade before they melted them.”

“Yeah, okay.” She feigns annoyance, but deep down I can tell she’s touched. “Speaking of love….” She carefully places the lipstick penis on top of her bag. “Have you decided what to do about Jay?”

“I’m meeting him tonight.” I turn around and air quote, “‘To talk.’”

She sighs and sits on her bunk facing me. I feel a lecture coming on.

“I really don’t need pointers on how to be sexy right now.”

“Abs, I’m the last person to give relationship advice.”

So don’t.

“This doesn’t seem like a random hookup for him. He believes in the old traditions.”

“Like living happily ever after,” I say scornfully.

She is uncharacteristically serious. “I don’t know, Abbi. Maybe there is some truth to it. Ozzy believes it, and he’s the last person I ever thought would settle down.”

I think of how many times his name was written on the wall of the boom-boom room. “What about you? Do you believe we’re destined to be with only one person? To love one man our whole lives?”

Her eyes sparkle like a lovesick fool. “I do, Abbi. Ozzy has always been it for me. None of the other guys in my life ever came close to making me feel the way he can.”

“Not even the Aussie?”

She smiles at the memory. “Not even the Aussie.”

It’s easy for her to make a declaration about her feelings. She’s been with other boys. Fear and self-doubt has kept me chaste. When a boy finally comes along I want to experiment with, he just happens to be the one I’m fated to love for eternity.

“I’m glad you and Ozzy can finally be together. I hope it all works out, but I can’t be part of the ceremony.” I realize I’m making my decision right this second. I stand and move toward the door. “I won’t repeat my mother’s mistakes.”

“Are you saying I’m making a mistake?”

“Maybe.”

“You’re unbelievable, you know that?” She paces to the window and back. “Do you know how many times I’ve listened to you preach about true love? About respecting my body. And now that I can finally be with the man I love, you have the nerve to say its bullshit?” Her anger comes from a place of pain. I hurt her.

“I just don’t think we’re ready to settle down at this age.”

“We? This isn’t a ‘we’ situation. This is about me and Ozzy, not you. For once this is about someone else’s feelings.”

She is saying all the things I have always wanted to say to her.
