Chapter 18:

Garry called this morning. He’s making me take a week sabbatical. It’s fine because I don’t really miss the job, but I could use the money. Since I’m still on winter break, I had planned on working extra hours. That, and I won’t be able to see Matt. I miss him. We have so much fun together. Then there’s Ty. I miss him, too. He snapped me back to reality at a time when what I really needed was a good slap in the face. Imagining my future isn’t possible without him being a part of the picture. It’s the distance that’s been our biggest obstacle. Distance makes the heart grow fonder is how the saying goes. I feel like that’s been mostly true for me, but with Ty being unable or unwilling to talk about my place at U of M with him, I can’t help but be angry. I have way too much time to sit here and think. Ty wants me to make a decision, so that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I take out my University of Michigan packet and pull up the information on transfer credit online. The College of Literature at U of M accepts transfer students but prefers a sophomore or higher standing. I have a perfect grade point average. It’s not a slam dunk, but I have a shot. I spend the afternoon filling out the application online. As soon as school is back in session, I’ll get the transfer information ready to send with my online application. There’s no need to make a permanent decision yet, but at least I’ll be prepared. Mom assures me that money won’t be an issue. With insurance money from Dad’s death and Mom’s inheritance of Grandma’s money, I will be fine. Plus, I’ll get a job in Ann Arbor, too. Living with Ty would save money, but who knows his thoughts on that? We aren’t on the same page about anything to do with school.

“Hey, Mae.”

“Hi, Mom.”

“Have you heard from Ty?”

“Nope, not a word. Not even a text.”

“I’m sorry, honey. You two will figure it out.” I’m surprised that Ty’s lack of communication has affected me so little. It’s been three days since he left. I thought for sure he would have contacted me by now. He’s really pissed this time.

“Is the University of Michigan a priority to you?”

“What do you mean, Mom?”

“If you and Ty don’t work things out, or if you do, what part does the university itself play in your future plans?”

“It’s an amazing school. I know that. My prospects for teaching English or writing for print, or whatever I want to do, are probably enhanced if I were to graduate from U of M. But, it’s far away from you, and I know I could get a good education transferring to somewhere closer like Illinois State or the University of Illinois.”

“Then if that’s the case, don’t you think you should make this decision for you and you alone?” I don’t answer right away.
