.“My dad suggested we invite him over this coming weekend to meet your parents and to eat with us.My dad is planning to grill steaks for everyone and it will do him good to get out for a while.The more he is around people, the better he is.He needs to get out of his house as much as he can to get away from the painful memories of my grandmother.I’m glad you have the guest house to stay in, but if my grandfather had moved in, it would be easier for my parents to keep a closer watch on him.”“He seems like a very sweet man.”“He’s just so lonely without my grandmother.I’m going to take him to the flea market next Saturday morning before your parents arrive that evening.You should join us.” Todd offers.“I wouldn’t want to interrupt your time with him.”“Seriously, he would love for you to come along.In fact, he suggested I bring you along.”“I’ll think about it.”“I’m not taking no for an answer.You stay here all day long and you need to get out.” Todd insists.“If it makes you feel any better, I’m planning on going in to town Monday.I’ve got to return some books to the library and I also thought I might see about getting a job.”“Are you sure you’re up to working?” Todd asks.“I’m not helpless.I’m sure there has to be something I can still do.I’ve still got a few months before the baby comes so there is no reason not to be trying to make some kind of money right now.The little bit of money I have left in savings isn’t going to last forever.”“Have you heard anything from Brian?” I can tell he regrets asking me this the moment the words have left his mouth.Just hearing Brian’s name sends goose bumps throughout my body.“He still calls my phone a couple of times each day, sometimes he leaves a message and sometimes he doesn’t.I never answer and I know that probably makes him angrier.You should hear some of the messages he leaves.They are horrible.”“I’m sorry.I hate I mentioned his name.”“If he would just leave me alone and stop calling and texting.I will never put myself through this kind of mess again.” I tell him.“I need to make a decision about his cell phone.Even though I am still responsible for his phone line, I can have the phone disconnected at any time.”“I can only imagine how pissed off he’s going to be when that happens.But it will put a stop to the phone calls.What are you going to do about your school?” Todd asks.“Right now, there’s really nothing I can do until after the baby.My scholarship is on hold according to my advisor.I want to finish my degree, but not at that school.I should be able to transfer everything once I decide where I’m going to stay.” I look over to Todd who now has a confused look on his face.“What do you mean, where you are going to stay?” He questions my previous statement.“I thought you were content staying here.”“I love it here, but I can’t continue to be a burden on your family forever.They have been kind enough already.Once I get back on my feet again after the baby is born then I’ll start looking at my options.What about your school? You don’t have much longer do you?”“You had me worried there for a minute.I thought you were talking about leaving within the next couple of weeks.” Todd’s face relaxes.“It’s hard to believe I’m almost finished with pharmacy school.This is my last term and graduation is just around the corner.It seems like just yesterday I was playing high school football.”“I know your dad is going to be glad to have you helping out with his pharmacy.He brings it up quite often when we’re having dinner.I can only imagine having your own business and not being able to take time off or take a vacation when you’d like.”“Funny you should mention that.He’s already lined up a cruise for him and my mother in the fall.I just hope I pass all the state boards.” He chuckles.“Or else, my dad’s going to have to look for my replacement.”“You’re going to do just fine.” I look over at him and smile.Todd is such a pleasant person to be around.I just recently learned Todd was a star football player back in high school and received a full ride scholarship to play at the State University.When his four years of college were up, he decided not to pursue his football career any further, and instead, started to work towards a degree in pharmacology.I feel the baby moving again and bring my hand up to rest on my stomach.“You okay?” Todd asks as he notices my hand.“The baby is just being very active this morning.” I tell him.“Could be because I’ve not had anything to eat yet.”“Why don’t you come down to the house for some breakfast then? My parents would love for you to join us.”“Are you sure?” I ask.“I’ve already had dinner with them a few times already this week.If I keep showing up to eat, I’m going to have to start helping your mom buy groceries.”Todd stands up and offers his hand to me to help me stand.“Come on.I don’t’ want to hear such nonsense.I told you that you’re more than welcome to eat with us any time.”I am startled by the sound of my phone ringing.I jump from the swing on the patio and run back inside the apartment hoping to grab the phone before the call has ended.I notice the screen on the phone is one of those 800 numbers and not Jennifer.I still keep hoping she’ll answer my phone call.Some days I call her only once, where as other days I call up to ten times a day.I just miss her so much.But she never answers.I called the phone company to see if they could tell me a location of where her phone is right now.I made up some stupid story that we misplaced her phone while we had been away on a trip and would like to see about tracking it down, but since I’m not the primary account holder, they won’t release any information to me.I tried to reset the password to view the billing summary online figuring if I could access the account information, I might be able to see the locations or the general vicinity of any calls Jennifer has been making, but I wasn’t successful with that either.I’m not giving up hope.Last week there was a notice taped to the door saying it was time to renew the lease for the apartment.I panicked because her parents, up ‘til this point, had taken care of the rent.I’m pretty sure by now they’ve been in contact with her and are aware she’s not here anymore.If she’s not planning to return here, then there would be no plans to renew the lease for another year.And where will I go if that’s the case?There’s been enough food that I’ve hardly had to buy anything at all [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
