"Patricia!" Elizabeth Nelson shouted for her daughter. When there was no response, she decided to poke her head in her daughter's room. There were a few boxes stacked here and there around Patricia's bed, where the redhead was sleeping. Elizabeth leaned against the doorway. She couldn't believe her little girl (who wasn't so little) was moving out in a few weeks. And then she was getting married. It was hard for the woman to take in. It seemed like just yesterday Patricia was signing up for her high-school classes.

Deciding that she needed to wake her daughter up, Elizabeth shook her slightly. "Patricia, honey, the Millers' are going to call any minute now."

Patricia sat up. "Really?"

"You better get ready." Elizabeth smiled.

Patricia nodded eagerly and got out of bed. Patricia and her mother had agreed to pick up Eddie Miller and Becky Miller from the airport when they landed. Elizabeth smiled and left the room, closing the door behind her to allow her daughter to get dressed.

"Have they called yet?" Patricia asked as she came upstairs.

"I literally just got off of the phone with Becky. Their plane just landed. By the time we get there, they'll have the luggage and stuff and be ready to go." Elizabeth grabbed her car keys. "Is the guest room ready for Becky?"

"It's all set." Patricia nodded, following her mother out of the door. "And Eddie is staying at the Peters' place, right?"

"Last time I heard from Drew." Elizabeth confirmed. She hopped into the passenger seat.

"I wonder why he isn't staying with Eric this year." Patricia closed her door and put the key into the ignition.

"Careful, Patricia." Elizabeth told the young woman. Her daughter had just passed her driver's test a few months ago and was still getting the hang of driving.

"I'm trying, Mum." Patricia began driving down their street. "Calm down."

"I am calm." Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "You know the way, don't you?"

"I think I do."

"Then why are you going the opposite way you need to be?"

"… I'm taking the long way." Patricia turned the car around. She could feel her insides swirling with excitement—it was the first time she'd seen her boyfriend face-to-face in over a year. They had both completed their first year of college and Eddie was talking about switching colleges to be closer to her. They had originally planned to go to the same college, but since they both wanted to take different classes, they decided to try being apart for a year and see how it went. So far, it had gone pretty well and the final verdict was to be decided over the summer.

As for the engagement, they had decided to put it off until they both figured out the whole college thing. This was probably better, since Elizabeth was pretty against the marriage. Becky, on the other hand, was excited; except that her only son—only child, actually—was growing up faster than she wanted him to.

Even with of all the drama, Patricia still couldn't wait to see her boyfriend. No matter how much she denied it, she knew she was madly in love with him.

Whoa! Where am I? Oh, I remember this place! How long has it been?

Too long.

Better here I am! Stronger than ever! (:

Just a little update on me: I am now OFFICIALLY in highschool! Woot woot! And I am still Peddie obsessed! (: I have a few different friends this year, but I still have most of my old ones. I'm also REALLY enjoying my advanced English class (we're reading Romeo and Juliet right now!) and I'm kind of liking this law thing. Everyone in choir is SUUUPER serious this year, so I might drop out. :P We'll see.

I will NOT be updating everyday! I MIGHT be able to every other day or so, but I have a LOT of homework this year, so… Yep!

And can I just say that Sick Puppies are AMAZING in concert?! ;) Are you jealous? I got to go see them a bit over a month ago and they ROCKED! If you get the chance, you HAVE TO go! If you like them, that is.

Are you ready to get this party started?! Let's go!

Xx
